(He / Him)
Jude is the co-host of Athrabeth!
He rediscovered Tolkien’s works a decade ago and threw himself into the world of Tolkien scholarship, eventually badgering Stef into starting Athrabeth when he put his work on a Masters on hold after his son (lovingly referred to on the podcast as “the goblin”) was born.
You can find him on bsky @jude.athrabeth.com. You can also listen to him talk about 90s science fiction shows on the Babylon Podject @ https://babylonpod.page/

(She / Her)
Stef Midlock is a double fire sign and co-host of the Athrabeth podcast where she mostly does book reports and simps for Rohan.

You can find her on Twitter and Instagram @thenorthfour and on the Athrabeth Discord (https://discord.gg/Ytc95B3C), and join her for monthly episodes of Athrabeth. Forth Eorlingas!
