April O’Neil? Is that you?

My first Tolkien book!

We frequently do a reading of Dracula or Night in the Lonesome October during Halloween season!

Shortly after I defended my viva, I met with some graduate students to do a Q and A about the process. One of them asked, “what are you going to do next?” And my answer was “learn how to be human again.” A PhD just takes so much that I honestly needed to remember how to do things like “have fun.”

I think you and @jrrtastrochick.bsky.social would be good friends 🤣

Thanks for the kind words, I’m glad my research is interesting!

I apologize to your listeners for making it an hour and a half episode, hah!
