In the first Summer Short Story episode, Cooper and Tanner talk about a time-travel short story by the author of Fahrenheit 451.

Dear Listener, enjoy. You are welcome. SUPPORT...

Is Tolkien really great at suspense? Does Tolkien describe things too much? Are all the characters basically flat? Who was his editor? Will Matthew remember a single name of a person/beast/anything in LoTR? Join the (most likely) critically acclaimed Cooper and Matthew Show as they discuss these things in detail. Also, sorry to our new Patron, Anna! Cooper's audio kinda glitched out when he s...
