Episode description

This week:

We're running an updated version of a popular essay from last year.

Tolkien described life (and often, his stories) as a "long defeat", where evil frequently, inevitably wins.

But he allowed for "eucatastrophe" — sudden joyous turns (just like breakthroughs in elections and voting rights).

We must keep fighting, to hold off the darkness.
