Hi Tom,
Though LOTR has had a special place in my heart since childhood, I am just now diving deeper into Tolkien's lore in 2026. I am so grateful to have discovered your podcast. It has quickly become my preferred source of entertainment during commutes and gym sessions. It's absolutely wild listening to the early episodes when you're giving shoutouts to a single-digit number of Patrons and reviews. I can't wait to see how much this podcast grows as I keep listening. You deserve all the succes... more

Long time listener, first time caller. I have been listening to this show since day 1 and will at certain points just start again and catch up to where you are up to. I am lucky enough to live in Middle Earth (New Zealand) and as a sales rep who travels the South Island I can sometimes feel like I am in the landscape of what you are discussing. Been a Tolkien fan since late 90s and yearly re-read The Silmarilion, the Hobbit, LOTR, The Children of Hurin (personal fav). Keep up the great work.

I found you last week, (only a couple years late) but my buddy and I started playing return to Moria again, and needed more lotr lore! I found you. I own the original box set of the hobbit through the return of the king, but my gods are they mind numbing at points! I’ve listened to the entire story except the Silmarillion. I’m not much of a reader, haven’t been since high school. But you hit EVERYTHING beautifully. I’ve been listening for only a few days and already on episode 42! I can’t wait t... more
