In this episode marking their RETVRN, Terilien grills NiceMemeFriar on the faith of his forefathers: Hinduism. Severe autism (mostly on Friar's part) prevents the topic from being restricted to one episode, so the boys plan to record and publish Part 2 as soon as possible.  The guy quoted in the beginning, """Swami""" Vivekananda, has all of his works in the public domain (he died of diabetes and being a fatass in 1902). Friar says that he isn't going to provide a link because he trusts that the audience can google as well as he; but Terilien puts it down to Friar just being a lazy 700 lb blob. 

In which Nice Meme Friar very humbly explains why he has not been poasting new episodes of Isildur's Shack. No, don't worry, the Shack is not being demolished nor the Midgewater Marshes drained to make place for a new strip mall. We will RETVRN. 

In this episode, Terilien and NiceMemeFriar converse, over ósanwë, with their first (and hopefully last) femoid guest, Dangtelia. In many ways, this episode is a RETVRN TO BASICS for Isildur's Shack, where Friar, Dangtelia and Terilien discuss at some length the nature of Elves and Men, immortality, and prophecy in the Athrabeth Finrod Ah Andreth.  (This is also Terilien's first try at post-processing for the Shack, and he's done a very commendable job.)

Apologies for the delay! (NiceMemeFriar is fat and has grad school.) Terilien and NiceMemeFriar are very glad to welcome Gabriel Syme and Night Errant, where they talk at length about G. K. Chesterton, the Everlasting Fat Man. This is Syme's first appearance in any kind of show (we weren't missing much, honestly), and just as important, this episode marks Night Errant's triumphant return to podcasting after the temporary suspension of In Taberna last year.  Follow them on twatter: @NightErrantry and @gabrielsyme08. Follow me too: @FriarNm  

Greetings, my Volk. In this episode, Terilien and I welcome our guest Eremite (by astral projection) to our humble Shack to discuss Ludovico Sinistrari and the issue of Demoniality, i.e., copulation with demons. What would the offspring of such a union be like? Do succubi and incubi really steal coom? Tune in as things get sticky.  Eremite can be found on twatter: https://twitter.com/eremitre.

Greetings, and apologies for the delay -- NiceMemeFriar was ill AND he had his twatter nuked in the purge. In any case, here's Episode 3 -- our first with guests! Our friends, Serp Kerp/Mengy and Mythic Ethos, cross Eriador to join us in our Shack. We open with a few remarks on Tom Bombadil, and move on to cryptids, UFOs, and the fae folk, in a rambling, extremely autistic conversation.  Serp Kerp/Mengy has his own YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0b-vEnPRxtkMJj7xxDnJIA. Mythic Ethos posts /x/ files on Telegram: https://t.me/spookyfiles.

In which NiceMemeFriar explains why episode 3 has been delayed (once again).

In this episode, Terilien and NiceMemeFriar have a long and autistic discussion about fading, the taint of Morgoth and Arda Marred in the Legendarium, and how it makes very good sense to use analogous concepts in reading the Old Testament. NiceMemeFriar skirts the edge of heresy when he tries to explain what he thinks Morgoth's proper domain is; and Terilien discovers inconsistencies in the recorded heights of the princes of the Noldor and the Dúnedain.

This is not as well edited as the later ones will be. Or, in which Saruman does Rod Dreher balls deep. Or, Ruby Ridge at Bag End. Speakers: Terilien, NiceMemeFriar [hosts]
