As shown below on my blog page, I am a total bookworm, and love to read. Mainly my first love is the Fantasy genre (although I try to branch out when I can), but in no particular order, my three main fantasy series that I dearly love (in no particular order of preference) are The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, The Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis, and The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. What I have looked into more recently are podcasts with fellow bookworms, to find different viewpoints of these series. In the past, I have found online forums, but with the growing prevalence of podcasts, more emphasis is put on active content and creating more of a community around the beloved book series.
A few podcasts I listen to, Narniaweb, The Prancing Pony
Podcast, Pottercast, Mugglecast, and The Alohomora! Podcasts all encourage
their listeners to join the online communities for discussions outside of the
podcast airtimes and it helps people have an even greater connection to the
book series itself, but I feel that this can be applied to a variety of topics
and fields, given enough time, effort, and interest in the topic and community.
One of the things that can more easily grow a community around a podcast is
that their communities are often made and joined on public websites and are often
easier to find.
I subscribe to a bunch of podcasts in a variety of subject
areas and I’m curious to hear everyone’s opinions on this topic.
