Long ago, I aspired to make something like This American Life, and this kinda scratches that itch, but, you know, about elves15 Apr 2026 18:46 +0000at://did:plc:xes337mce52obw7tm3emyn3s/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjkkkmzs2s2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/james.athrabeth.com/post/3miruvo4fos2vYes!

Well, tune in to @athraplay.athrabeth.com episode 26 for the less impactful, but far funnier Dinner Party of Elrond!

So yes, I did just use a Midwest Emo song in our fantasy Tolkien podcast. @athraplay.athrabeth.com07 Sep 2025 18:07 +0000at://did:plc:xes337mce52obw7tm3emyn3s/app.bsky.feed.post/3lybbs7qbdc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/james.athrabeth.com/post/3ly7awzp24s2yNothing like editing a podcast that you appear on to give yourself a complex about how loud you’re breathing and how often you say “sorta” 🫠 That said, this upcoming episode of @athraplay.athrabeth.com is one of my absolute favorites.06 Sep 2025 22:46 +0000at://did:plc:xes337mce52obw7tm3emyn3s/app.bsky.feed.post/3ly7awzp24s2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/james.athrabeth.com/post/3lvhgnlkups2xIt was expensive, but I bit the bullet and plunked down the cash for some audio repair plugins, and my god was it worth it.

I may have a problem… (The problem is now I need to buy more kits.)14 Jul 2025 07:46 +0000at://did:plc:xes337mce52obw7tm3emyn3s/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltvvikqqy22fhttps://bsky.app/profile/james.athrabeth.com/post/3ltsraofm3s2fOne of my favorite things about the Hobbits played by @stef.athrabeth.com in @athraplay.athrabeth.com & Athrabeth Hobbitween games are the utterly ridiculous, but completely plausible hobbit relatives. Hildi had a cousin who was lost down a gopher-made sinkhole! Sounds like a Bracegirdle…🙄13 Jul 2025 01:52 +0000at://did:plc:xes337mce52obw7tm3emyn3s/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltsraofm3s2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/james.athrabeth.com/post/3lteckjh4yk2hIt’s not totally done, but I think Calibarn turned out pretty well for a first attempt!07 Jul 2025 07:52 +0000at://did:plc:xes337mce52obw7tm3emyn3s/app.bsky.feed.post/3lteckjh4yk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/james.athrabeth.com/post/3lt5olb64rk2jWe recorded @athraplay.athrabeth.com episode 16 so long ago, I’d forgotten it contained a wild digression about the accent of the Valar in the show being a southern drawl, which ends with the coining of the phrase “By Morgoth’s mullet!” One episode in to season 2 and the wheels are already off!04 Jul 2025 16:39 +0000at://did:plc:xes337mce52obw7tm3emyn3s/app.bsky.feed.post/3lt5olb64rk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/james.athrabeth.com/post/3lspedrd3ls2vI’m editing the next episode of @podcast.athrabeth.com and @jude.athrabeth.com & @stef.athrabeth.com are cracking me up! I always love how their on-air chemistry just feels like hanging out with friends talking about nerdy stuff!28 Jun 2025 23:58 +0000at://did:plc:xes337mce52obw7tm3emyn3s/app.bsky.feed.post/3lspedrd3ls2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/james.athrabeth.com/post/3lspbl36tkc2vI’m currently on the best, most exciting phase of staring a new hobby: the buying all the stuff part!
