I have only listened to the first two episodes but am awed by the breadth of the content and enjoy listening to their voices. Am looking forward to tackling the Similarian, which I have read but did not understand.
We love listening to the prancing pony podcast. Allen and Sean love the material so much and it is just such a joy to listen to them.
They are true Tolkien lovers!
It was v v good until it became overly apologetic and obsessed about woke issues that have been manufactured from the legendarium and has now v saldy lost its way, somewhere near Shelob’s lair and giving the Shieldmaiden of Rohan too much of a toehold.
Why didn't anyone tell me about this before! Amazing podcast, can't wait to catch up
Sara is sooooo annoying but Alan and James are very funny together
