On this week's episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy Andrews sits down with historian, author, and filmmaker Joseph Loconte, author of The War for Middle Earth, to explore the enduring influence of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis during one of history's darkest chapters.
Tune in to hear how Tolkien and Lewis, both shaped by World War I and writing through World War II, used story, faith, and friendship to push back against cultural despair and moral confusion. Together, Andy and Joseph discuss the role of imagination in confronting evil, the importance of history for gaining perspective, and why great stories still matter in times of uncertainty. This conversation is a powerful reminder that courage, gratitude, and moral clarity can be cultivated—even in the middle of the storm.
