    The Dubious Origin of Dwarven Tropes

    Today's episode discusses where Tolkien drew inspiration for the dwarves of Middle Earth, and who else used those sources as inspiration, but for more negative purposes. Due to the election cycle and Tyler's resulting lack of time, there is no interview this time around, so this technically counts as a bonus episode.
