  • Good Tolkien show

    Joshua is very knowledgeable about Lotr.

  • Well done, much appreciated!

    So much time and effort goes into making these along with the

    YouTube videos! I am specially fond of the elvish pronunciations and explanatory videos about the languages of Tolkien. You explain it quite simply as the appendices do.
