Greetings Gentle Listeners!
This week Regina takes us back to the world of Lord of the Rings. She talks about what it’s like to watch the trilogy now that she’s a mom. Yes… it’s been that long since she watched these movies. She touches briefly on how the movies have aged but really takes a deep dive into her own emotional response to one character in particular. Watching Lord of the Rings as a mom is a very different experience.
Have you ever had a similar experience? Have you watched a familiar story and had a completely different emotional reaction to one of the characters? Let Regina know on Twitter @DocLizz!

Regina’s research interests focus on women and technology, and her dissertation discusses female gamers and identity in digital role playing games.

To continue the conversations about gender and gaming that Regina started during her research, she started a podcast called Game on Girl. Called the “NPR of game podcasts” by Chris Brown of The Married Gamers, the podcast features women involved in the game industry, and tackles some of the complicated issues in the gaming community. Season 2 began in the spring of 2018 and will premiere new episodes monthly.
