Journey to the Stage with Bryan Frazier

4 ай бұрын

Malcolm Guite is a man of many facets. He is a poet with a deep appreciation for the classical form and higher realms of language. Equal parts songwriter, author, ordained priest in the Church of England, avid reader and academic, Malcolm brings these beautiful colors into one of the most fascinating conversations I have had on my podcast.
Malcolm and I cover a wide range of topics with one of the highlights of this first installment being a reading he does from The Fellowship of the Ring. The longer I spoke to Malcolm, the more I saw in him the affability of Bilbo Baggins, and the wisdom and percipience of Gandalf. I hope all who listen will enjoy this chat as much as I did.
--PART 2 will be released on Monday February 26, 2024 on all podcast platforms (and on KZfaq a week or so later). Be sure to follow or subscribe wherever you catch podcasts to get notification when it's released.

@@journeytothestage I’d love to interview this man too one day. Or even the big Tolkien KZfaq channels could interview him. Maybe even NerdOfTheRings since he recently interviews John Rhys Davies once or twice recently as well as even interviewed many other WETA team and inner circle of PJ himself ❤️ so NOFTR would have more of a shot since he’s already been interviewing this high profile people lately.

I have just discovered your podcast via KZfaq having been a fan of Malcolm Guite's for a few years now. He once kindly gave me an hour of his time (and a CD of his folk music) in his room in Girton College, Cambridge when one of my daughters was a student there. He is such a generous man and I think that this is such a good interview. A great credit to you.

What an interesting choice to use Enya’s Lothlórien for that reading ❤

@Makkaru112 it turned out to be the perfect fit. It's long been a favorite piece by Enya but I wasn't sure if anyone would pick up on it. Good ear and connecting!
