Published: Dec. 8, 2019, 4 p.m.

Alan and Shawn are thrilled to welcome back Brian Sibley for his first full-episode interview! A writer and broadcaster, Brian has been responsible for beloved adaptations of Tolkien\u2019s work such as the BBC radio dramatizations of The Lord of the Rings and Tales from the Perilous Realm. He\u2019s also written several books on Peter Jackson\u2019s films, for which he had rare access behind the scenes during production. We talk to Brian about the history behind these projects, hear inside stories about your favorite hobbit actors, and learn why producers try (and often fail) to keep the writers out of the studio.
