  • Love it!

    This is my favorite Tolkien podcast. Very insightful. Also, Maggie has the cutest laugh :)

    I am a fairly well-read Tolkien fan and know some of answers to the things these two wonder about. A reading of the Silmarillion would fill in a few gaps for them.

    They make some very interesting observations that had never occurred to me in my four readings of the main three legendarium books (Hobbit, Lord… and Silmarillion)
