Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to the third of a four part series on Robert Johnson!  Not counting the little half episode we snuck in a couple weeks ago.

Robert's traveling even more now and he also cuts some records.  In this episode we'll get into where he went and the recording of his famous songs, the few that there are.

So pour yourself a pint or a glass of shine and enjoy!

Welcome back to the Manor!  Welcome to the second of two parts for our series on Lord Dunsany.  If you haven't listened to part one, go back and listen to that one from July 31st and you'll see that we actually do know how to pronounce his name!

In this episode, we're looking at how his works, in general but also specifically "A Dreamer's Tales," influenced writers such as Robert E Howard, HP Lovecraft, and more... and maybe how it influenced Tolkien, which we covered back in part one, but probably not as much as you've been led to believe by Tolkien's own admissions.

Do you want to know more?  Pour yourself a pint and listen on!

Next week's episode is part three of Robert Johnson, King of the Delta Blues.

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to episode 2.5 (of 4.5) in our Robert Johnson series.  We had a few odds and ends that didn't make it into any of the four main episodes, so recorded this short episode for your enjoyment and for a wee break for us.

Enjoy!

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to another episode prepping us for next year's 50th anniversary of Star Wars episode VI!  In this one, we're talking about George's initial 17 page draft outline of what would become Star Wars.  Is it the same or different?  Better or worse?  What exactly is a Bendu?  Listen in and find out!

Next week's episode is part 3 of our Robert Johnson series.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Welcome to the first of two episodes on Lord Dunsany, Anglo-Irish writer (among other things), who was considered to be one of the founding writers of the fantasy genre. 

We won't be discussing his role as founding writer or grandfather or anything else.  Rather, we're going to get into his possible influences on JRR Tolkien!  Their prose and general life outlooks were very similar in some aspects.  

Does this mean Dunsany influenced Tolkien?  That's going to be in the next episode, as technically this is episode two, but you'll see why this one is coming out first when you start listening.

Next week's episode is about "The Star Wars."

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to part 2 (of 4.5) of our Robert Johnson series! Robert is still a young man and is starting to travel around and learn his craft from his musical mentors and starting various relationships.  

And it was one of these mentorships that led Robert into cemeteries to learn from the haunts and haints there!  Sort of.  If you want more on this, pour yourself a pint and listen in!

Welcome back to the Manor!  In preparation for next year's 50th anniversary of Star Wars episode six (A New Hope), we're going to have some fun with various drafts and formats from that galaxy far far away.  This first one is the Public Radio adaptation, in which James read the script and Jody listened to the series.  They had to expand it so it would work for 13 episodes.  What did they add?  Listen in and discover our favorite bits!

Next week's episode is Robert Johnson part 2.
