  • Strider’s Healing: Doing All You Can | JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring | Bk 1 Ch 12 Part 1 (207)
    Apr 3 2025

    Frodo’s journey to Rivendell grows more perilous as the Black Riders lurk and his Morgul wound worsens. Strider leads the hobbits through the wild, relying on hidden paths and small signs of hope—a green stone on the Last Bridge, the healing power of athelas, and the ancient strength of Elbereth’s name. Along the way, echoes of *The Hobbit* and the legend of Beren and Lúthien weave into the story, revealing the deeper history behind the struggle against the Shadow. As Strider does what he can to aid Frodo, the weight of the journey—and the road still ahead—presses heavily on the Company.

    Explore "Flight to the Ford" from JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring. Part 1.

  • Will This Nerd Love Lord of the Rings? | Special Guest Nerd Best Friends Podcast | 206
    Mar 27 2025

    Join us for a special crossover as we welcome the hosts of Nerd Best Friends! Their podcast dives into all things nerdy—from Marvel and Star Wars to 80s cartoons and comic books—but they’ve never done an episode on The Lord of the Rings… until now!

    In this episode, we explore Tolkien’s world from two perspectives: one host is a longtime Lord of the Rings fan who loves Théoden and Tolkien’s theme of leadership, while the other has never read the books. Together, we compare Middle-earth to other major fandoms, discuss why some nerds hesitate to dive into Tolkien’s works, and debate which legendary leaders stand alongside Théoden. Plus, we issue a Tolkien-themed challenge—will a first-time reader be convinced to take the journey?

    Mar 24 2025

    Why does the One Ring make some wearers invisible but not others? Why could the Nazgûl still see Frodo when he put on the Ring at Weathertop? And why didn’t Sauron, Gandalf, or Galadriel vanish when wielding a Ring of Power? In this Light the Beacons episode, we unravel the mystery of invisibility, the unseen world of the wraiths, and the true power of the One Ring.

Good short form Tolkien review podcast

If you are a casual Tolkien fan this podcast will help you better grasp the "Tolkien universe" (Legendarium) of Middle-Earth and beyond. I think it might also make reading some of the other books (besides The Hobbit and LOTR) more appealing and less daunting. My only criticism is that if you're a well read Tolkien fan, these podcasts will not offer much in the way of new insights. If you're a super nerd you will also be annoyed by mispronounced names at times as well as the apologetic tone for deep dives into things only hard-core fans will love (don't apologize for quoting Bilbo's poetry!). That said, even for the well read fan these short episodes are great for quick reviews of vignettes from the 1st and 2nd Age. And while there is not a ton of new insights, there are some.

Great Podcast Review Headline

Move this podcast to the TOP- it’s great! These books are entirely inspiring. The movies have been captivating. The Amazon series might need some backstory… look no further!

There’s a good chance you haven’t read The Silmarillion… If you haven’t, you’ve been waiting (a long time) for a lore time-saver… this podcast will do that for you. If you have read it, darkness falters before your light, and you want to listen to the Lore of the Rings Podcast for addition details he has pulled together on foundational themes. My favorite line so far is on the topic of reading The Silmarillion…. Read it once and get a high level view, twice and you can follow the main characters and peoples in a more cohesive narrative, three times, four (blah blah), on the fifth reading you can host a podcast!

- I am no man :)
