Peter Christian and Bradley Bethel met in an online J.R.R. Tolkien class which led to them making a documentary film titled Ranger of the North about Peter's time as a National Park Service ranger in Alaska's arctic. The film features Pete as he and the film crew travel north to the Arctic Ocean. Along the way, Peter hikes and muses on his time as a ranger, what he learned, and how lessons from Tolkien's Lord of Rings apply to the many environmental challenges society faces today. Peter and Bradley, along with producer Stuart Muller, join host Paul Twardock to discuss the film, including its genesis, locations and challenges, their philosophies that guided the film, and more.
