The Black Gate is Closed 07.02.2025

Frodo, Sam and Gollum have at last arrived to the one place they least wish to be...the very gates of the Black Land...I apologize in advance for some of the difficult sounds of Gollum, I'll be trying to modulate my voice or use an alternative voice also inspired by other beloved mediums in which we have heard his voice.

The Palantir 18.01.2025

The Voice of Saruman 11.01.2025

At long last, the finale confrontation between Gandalf and Saruman. Which White Wizard will win out? In typical Tolkien fashion it is not a duel as we would conventionally see such a thing, but a battle of wills and spirit- join us as we see who's is stronger.

Narnia! In a sudden shift we are gonna take a break from our friends who arrived at Orthanc to listen to another beloved set of stories.

Helm's Deep 25.10.2024

King Theoden, having been cured of Saruman's leechcraft, is now leading a mighty company towards the Fords of Isen in order to bring battle to the forces of Saruman.
