122 - The Digital Mead-Hall: TexMoot 2019 Keynote Presentation

Published: April 28, 2019, 3 p.m.

In January, Alan and Shawn were honored to be the keynote speakers at Signum University\u2019s second annual Texas Literature & Language Symposium (\u201cTexMoot\u201d) in Waco, Texas! Our talk, recorded live, explored podcasts as modern-day mead-halls providing a virtual place for communities to come together around a work of literature. We shared our experience of seeing a community of Tolkien fans build up around our own podcast, cracked the kind of jokes that can only happen in front of a live audience, and even trotted out a few old favorites.
