A Leisurely Stroll Through Middle-Earth

When Fëanor rebelled against the will of the Valar , he went to the shores of Aman, seeking for a way to reach Middle-earth . He demanded the use of the Telerin ships, however, the Teleri refused...and great evil was done but not by the Dark Lord...but elf against elf.

Beauty and jealousy over so small a thing....

Join us in our new series documenting the first age of Middle-Earth. The creation of Arda, the discord of Morgoth and the awakening of the Elves!

Now for an obscure epilogue; Bilbo's Last Song that he presumably wrote once the ship set sail from the Grey Havens.

Here at last, on the shores of the sea....thank you all for joining me on this journey.

Now that Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin have returned home the real work must be finished! Just because they have been long away did not mean that all was untouched- now it has been brought home, literally. Will they be able to reclaim their homeland?

Alas, we now find out that even the blessed Shire has not been wholly untouched during the War of the Ring....

Now we resume with our brave hobbits as they begin the long march back to home and lands they know....or thought they knew...

And thus it was a Fourth Age of Middle Earth began. And the Fellowship of the Ring, though eternally bound by friendship and love was ended.

Now at long last we see Aragorn come into his own...AND more besides!

Potential Spoilers: This is clarifying the news we received about the new Lord of the Rings project that they will be working on after The Hunt for Gollum and what is truth and what is eggs in moonshine.

In the meantime, those remaining at Minas Tirith have no idea what is happening! All is in great doubt for them- time to see what befalls Eowyn and Faramir.

Now we get to were the stories are at last reunited- see how the actions of Frodo and Sam...AND even Gollum have turned the tide for all the Free Peoples of Middle Earth.

Sammath Naur : the very place where Sauron created the Ring....now Frodo and Sam come to the End of All Things....

There never was much hope....just a fool's hope.

As we continue in chapter 2 The Land of Shadow, Frodo and Sam are continuing their dangerous trek across Mordor. Danger is around every corner and very little to no resources like food or water- see how they make it across!

Join me as I talk with Stephen Gallagher- composer of War of the Rohirrim- as we talk middle-earth and music! Disclaimer: we are both on mobiles so sound could be varying

Now that Frodo and Sam have fled Cirith Ungol, they must now go down into the Land of Shadow....the Land of Mordor...where the shadows lie.

Mae Govannen, my brave friends! As we jump into this episode, starting season 7 of our show, just know there may be some elements that may be disturbing to younger listeners; listener discretion is advised . We now go back in time to catch back up with Sam outside the Tower of Cirith Ungol - how the men of Gondor ever expected to keep that old fortress supplied when you had Shelob 's lair betw...

Sauron has taken the bait- but will our heroes survive the bite?

We come to it at last... King Aragorn Elessar and his token force of seven thousand go to assail the forces of Sauron- thereby giving Frodo a chance to complete his great task...BUT will they learn disturbing news upon their arrival?

Now the Captains of the West must decide what comes next- will they continue to hold out for a siege or will they push what momentum they have? OR will they go for a different plan?

A moment of peace before the next fray....friends reunited, songs sang, and tales told.

Will the Houses of Healing have what Aragorn needs to prove his right to the Kingship? The Hands of the King are the Hands of the Healer...

Now we catch back up into Middle-Earth and join Gandalf, Pippin and Beregond as they bring Faramir to the Houses of Healing . As the day goes on though- Faramir will not be the sole occupant of note...
