  • What is it Like to be a Tolkien Content Creator? An interview with Knew Betta Do Betta
    Jul 6 2026

    This week I am joined by the one and only Willie Jenkins, aka Knew Betta Do Betta! If you've spent much time on Tolkien related social media, you've seen Knew Betta hosting trivia, making lore videos, and being a passionate defender of Tolkien's work. We discuss how he got started in Tolkien content creation, the push back he received as a person of color in a stereotypically white space, his advice for other content creators, and of course some hot takes and opinions!
