Tolkien and Me
Greetings fellow wayfarers! In this episode of the Perilous Realms I'll be talking about my favorite author of all time, none other than J. R. R. Tolkien!

Remembering Kevin Conroy (1955-2022)
In this special episode of The Perilous Realms I pay tribute to one of my childhood heroes. Kevin Conroy, whose incomparable voice talents brought life to the Caped Crusader in Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1996) as well as in a plethora of other animated TV shows and video games, passed away on November 10, 2022 at the age of sixty-six. I’d like to share with you the ways Kevin Conroy impacted my life, including the story of how I met him at New York Comic Con in 2014. Rest in peace, Kevin. The world will miss the light and joy your work brought to so many.
