This podcast has become self-indulgent and plodding. 5 episodes on a poem. Not really for me.
For anyone stumbling across this review looking for good Tolkien podcasts, you will not be disappointed with this feed. It's not only Cory Olsen's college lectures, which are great in themselves, but also a collection of commentaries, speculations, and discussions featuring some of Cory's friends and fellow Tolkien enthusiasts.

Not only has this greatly expanded my knowledge and my enjoyment of both Tolkien's written works and the adaptations, I think that Prof. Olsen has, by example, taught me to be a more precise thinker and communicator. Can't speak highly enough of this show or his classes.
Perfect for people who want to understand Tolkien's work.
As an avid Tolkien reader and quasi-scholar, I have loved what I have heard so far. While most of it was not new to me, it's nice to hear someone else (besides myself) go on and on about the finer points of Tolkien was very nice. Keep up the great work!
Most university profs could learn a thing or two from The Tolkien Prof. He brings a great storytelling technique to his lectures that make them engaging. And using podcasts as a tool in his kit bag is just another way he takes pedagogy seriously.
Loved it, can't wait for more!
Unquestionably one of the finest resources of Tolkien education in the iTunes store. more
