Sparky and I have been listening to this for over a month, off and on. It's the CD we were listening to in the midst of a blizzard on the way home from a hospital visit last month.Very thorough overview on the history of fantasy literature and where it is today. Touches very briefly on all the big names (Tolkien, LeGuin, etc.) and also talks about where it all comes from, both literarily (is that a word?) and psychologically.
Drout is easy to listen to and, while this is not at all my cup of tea, Sparky thoroughly enjoyed it.
