The Bookmonger has a series of podcasts interviewing influencial authors on the right, including R. R. Reno, Michael Novak, Roger Scruton and Yuval Levin.
Also check out Commentary Magazine's article on Tolkein's largely sympathetic portrayal of the Jews as the dwarves in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. This would serve as a foil to the nasty depiction Richard Wagner gives them as the Nibelungen in his famous Ring Cycle. For details on the latter, consult Wagner Androgyne by Jean-Jacques Nattiez. The remarkable thing is how well all these creations work even when you're blind to their hidden political dimensions. (Note: overtly political art usually sucks...someone ought to tell the Nobel committee...)
