NEW EPISODE — DADS Cook — Spicy Mapo Tofu https://www.hearthfireradio.com/watch?v=onqZpvys Mike is a sucker for spicy Asian food, and in this episode, he pulls out one of the all-time greats. If you like bold, salty, spicy, umami flavours, this dish will absolutely find its way into your regular rotation.

My most recent podcast on Tolkien, with guest 'Eros', was the longest ever Fyrgen podcast. It was also one of my favourite podcast conversations to have and, I think, one of the most important. I have a life-long passion for Tolkien's work, but there's a reason many of us are fans. Even if you've only watched the LOTR films, it's not just the spectacle of it; you sense something far deeper, buried within the storytelling. And that's what this podcast set out to explore. Part 2 will continue the quest. If you have even a passing interest in Tolkien or his work, check it out. The first half is nearly 2 hours long and free to listen to, and holds plenty of insight.

NEW EPISODE — The Bog — The Culture of the Teutons https://www.hearthfireradio.com/watch?v=yoiKqNZX To celebrate the new release of Imperium Press' Restored Edition of Gronbech's The Culture of the Teutons, the Boglords discuss this important work. And since both translators are Bog alumnists, they talk about the translation itself, the differences between this text and the 1931 translation, and why you need to read it to understand the Germanic worldview.

NEW EPISODE — The Outlander — Evil Is Not the Absence of Good https://www.hearthfireradio.com/watch?v=SjruMxyM We are often told that evil is nothing more than a lack of good. This has been popularized in trad circles by Christians for a long time, and in pagan circles by no less an authority than J. R. R. Tolkien. Mike calls this idea into question, explaining how it undermines pagan morality and smuggles universalism into the conversation.

NEW EPISODE — The Fyrgen — Episode 57: Tolkien, the Seer - Part 1, with Eros https://www.hearthfireradio.com/watch?v=sQTuMrmO An epic, impassioned discussion of J.R.R. Tolkien's profound legendarium. Dan is joined by amateur philosopher and Tolkien enthusiast Michael (aka Eros) to dive deep into a body of work which borders on religious in its importance. Was Tolkien merely writing made-up stories, or did he channel something? Why does his creation myth, the Ainulindalë, resonate so strongly? Why did he write about such pagan themes whilst declaring himself a Catholic? And is The Machine trying to co-opt and pervert Tolkien's message? This discussion offers new insight into these works of genius. Links: • Silas Speaks feat. Eros • Song: Summoning - Farewell

NEW EPISODE — Neon Knights — Episode 21: AI Music News https://www.hearthfireradio.com/watch?v=vCPIYqqc Dan reports on the current goings-on in the music industry where AI is concerned (or should we say 'concerning'). On some streaming platforms, more than 50% of song uploads are now fully AI-generated.

NEW EPISODE — The Outlander — Why Do We Love Sad Songs? https://www.hearthfireradio.com/watch?v=qJpfSfSr It seems strange that we would love something that makes us afraid, and yet we love horror films. Equally strange that we would love art that makes us sad, and yet we do. The Germanic has a grimness in his character that attracts him to this sort of thing. In this episode, Mike dives under the surface to reveal a whole world beneath our folk character.

Starting Heathenry is a ritual-focused online course which will furnish you with the knowledge and confidence to practise the Heathen religion alone or with others, making wise decisions about worship based on reliable historical evidence. The course teaches you how to construct Heathen prayers for yourself, not according to the established rites of any modern group, but according to what historical sources show. Starting Heathenry assumes you are interested in Germanic paganism, know about the gods and myths, and want to begin practising this religion, but require guidance on how to do so. It is based on a micro-learning structure which is proven to improve knowledge retention by 18-80% in students compared to other learning methods. The 10 lessons include over 50 videos, and quizzes to access from your phone or computer. Access more than 5 hours of learning material bit by bit, as you please.

NEW EPISODE — DADS Cook — Tortillas and Nacho Cheese Sauce https://www.hearthfireradio.com/watch?v=IZbcGtOd Two essentials for Mexican cooking. You might not think making your own tortillas makes a big difference, but once you've tasted these, you'll understand why Mike hasn't bought tortillas in years. We add a restaurant-style spicy cheese dipping sauce and fry up one of our tortillas to make it extra good for dipping. Between this and several other recipes on Dads Cook you will have an arsenal of unbeatable Mexican cuisine.
