Now I can finally understand the Silmarillion!
Hello from Iowa!! (My name is Topher) I love this podcast it’s definitely worth a listen, the host is super in depth about the material at hand, wether it’s the Silmarillion, the Hobbit, and hopefully the Lord Of the Rings books soon as well he never fails to give me a new perspective. The host is also very knowledgeable about Tolkien as a man and his time in the war. Awesome listen would 100% recommend.
Hey there! I’m a huge Tolkien fan and absolutely in love with Middle-Earth. Mythology and the becoming of things, be it creatures, nature or magic, fascinates me. And so does the very beginning of the realm I adore so much. Fore, I am in college I don’t always have the time to read and so, I thank you for creating this podcast. It is always such a bliss listening to you and taking me to a place, where I can escape to for a little while. Hope you have a great day <3
