if we don’t get these stories out… they will die with us: Marc Mullinax

Marc Mullinax and I talked COVID and higher education for a bit but then we dive into Tolkien. The Tolkien writings as comparable to our sacred texts. Think about that for a minute. Marc and I discuss that and the power of imaginative fiction (nee fantasy) stories . “All religion is imagination” says the Professor. I love it.

The title of the episode says it all for me. And its something I am trying to live into as well. I encourage you to get your story out. If you don’t, how can we hear it.

I had to look this up because marc kept mentioning it, so I’ll leave this here just in case anyone else needs a refresher:
