  • It’s just Project Management

    My favorite way to enjoy season 2, The Rings of Power is to watch an episode, listen to the Loremasters’ podcast on that episode, then watch the episode again and, if there’s enough time, listen to the podcast again. The Lore Masters, John, Dave and Meryl, provide indepth commentary of the broad scope of the Tolkien created lore and also their insights on where the tv series plot may be heading. An enriching way to get deeper into Middle Earth lore and enjoy this exciting Amazon contribution.
