  • Great for LOTR deep dives

    I first heard about this show when Aaron appeared on the Lorehounds. I was impressed with his knowledge of this world I love so much. More than 100 episodes in he has pointed out so many nuggets of lore I’ve lost count. A great podcast if you appreciate what JRRR created and want someone to help you wander through his world with a great map

  • “Tolkien” podcast only on surface

    Wanted to discover some new podcast that was analysing the show through an actual Tolkienian lens but as I click and saw them Using CHATGPT to write “Tolkien” dialogue as a dig at actual writers who work day and night to create something (even if you may not like it) is disgusting at multiple levels and incredibly disrespectful to Tolkien himself.

Why does the One Ring make Frodo invisible? | A Listener Question Lights the Beacons | Q+A 2
Q: Why does the One Ring make some people vanish while others, like Sauron, Galadriel and even the ringwraiths, remain visible?
The effect of the One Ring varies depending on the wearer. Mortals like Frodo and Bilbo are dragged into the Wraith World, becoming invisible. In contrast, powerful beings like Sauron or Gandalf are already attuned to both realms and thus remain visible.
