    Glorfindel Unveiled | JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring | Bk 1 Ch 12 Part 3 (210)
    Apr 24 2025

    Frodo’s journey through the wilds takes a dramatic turn as the wounded hobbit nears the Ford of Bruinen. This episode explores three pivotal moments from the chapter Flight to the Ford in The Fellowship of the Ring. First, Sam Gamgee reveals his hidden depth through an imaginative troll-song, echoing Tolkien’s ideas on fairy stories and the role of poetry in Middle-earth. Then, the hobbits encounter the buried remnants of Bilbo’s earlier adventure, signaling the final narrative departure between Bilbo and Frodo. Finally, the mysterious rider Glorfindel arrives—not Arwen, as seen in the films, but a radiant elf-lord with deep roots in the First Age. With insights into Elvish reincarnation, the symbolism of bells and light, and the layered history behind Glorfindel’s return, this episode highlights Tolkien’s brilliance in mythmaking and the layered reality of his world.

    Part 3 of 4 exploring "Flight to the Ford" from JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring.

  • The Ultimate Story of Hope | JRR Tolkien’s “Eucatastrophe” and the Resurrection of Christ (209)

    The Ultimate Story of Hope | JRR Tolkien’s “Eucatastrophe” and the Resurrection of Christ (209)
    Apr 17 2025

    Eucatastrophe, a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien, encapsulates the sudden, unexpected joy that breaks through moments of despair. Drawing from Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories", this episode delves into how eucatastrophe shapes his works, from The Silmarillion to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Through key moments of unexpected hope in Tolkien’s stories—like the eagles’ arrival at the Battle of the Five Armies and the destruction of the One Ring—listeners will explore how Tolkien’s concept mirrors the ultimate eucatastrophe in Christian theology: the Resurrection of Christ. The episode highlights how Tolkien’s deep Christian faith informed his view of hope, sorrow, and redemption, and reflects on how these themes continue to resonate today.

    My Favorite Resurrection Story

    Two Believers unknowingly walk with the Resurrected Christ, who explains the scriptures about Himself, and eventually, breaks bread—reminiscent of the Sacrament.

    Luke 24:13–35

  • Frodo vs. the Past | JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring | Bk 1 ch 12 Part 2 (208)

    Frodo vs. the Past | JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring | Bk 1 ch 12 Part 2 (208)
    Apr 10 2025

    Frodo retraces Bilbo’s footsteps through troll-country, but the path is darker, colder, and far more perilous. This episode explores the rich narrative echoes between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, revealing how Tolkien uses familiar landscapes—ruined towers, ancient roads, and petrified trolls—to contrast the lighter tone of Bilbo’s adventure with the shadowed weight of Frodo’s quest. From icy wounds and haunting dreams to sunlit stone trolls and old northern legends, we examine how the past lingers in Middle-earth and how memory becomes both a burden and a guide.

    Part 2 of 4 exploring "Flight to the Ford" from JRR Tolkien's Fellowship of the 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 :)
