Keep On Tolkien

Since we often reference the kingdoms of men (specifically those of the Edain), we thought it would be appropriate (and EXCITING) to do a 3-part-installment on the 3 Kingdoms of the Dúnedain; Númenor, Arnor and Gondor! Tune in for our first installment on the most prosperous kingdom of men to ever exist, Númenor!

We openly consider the chapter "The Council of Elrond" to be complete nerd-porn. There is so much information on the history of the One Ring, and how it connects the histories of multiple ages of Middle-Earth. Tune in as we discuss and rant about one of our favorite chapters.

We wanted to have some fun, so we comprised a list of 30 characters from the Lord of the Rings BOOK trilogy who we think were not justly portrayed, or otherwise completely "shafted" in the movie adaptations.

We're happy to be back for a 2nd Season, and we wanted to start with a bang! Tune in for our 2-Part Season 2 premiere on everyone's favorite wizard, Gandalf!

It's our Season 1 Finale, and since the beginning we've been name dropping a certain character... CIRDAN THE SHIPWRIGHT! Tune in as we nerd out over our FAVORITE Tolkien character of all time!

For this episode we wanted to talk about an important character who ties up the First Age. Tune in for our conversation about Eärendil the Star of High Hope.

This episode we discuss the life of Tuor son of Huor (the story of 'The Fall of Gondolin'). This is Tolkien's 3rd of the Three Great Tales of the Elder Days, a tale of inspiration and hope in the face of doom.

Pour yourself a drink and take a seat for this Part 2 of our conversation on Túrin Turambar (or the story of 'The Children of Húrin'), Tolkien's great tragedy of the First Age.

This episode will focus on the character Túrin Turambar (or the story of 'The Children of Húrin). This is the second of Tolkien's Three Great Tales of the Elder Days. When we first started this podcast this was one of the stories we fantasized talking about. But don't let our excitement fool you, this is Tolkien's great tragedy, and it is probably the saddest story either of us have ever heard......

For your listening pleasure, we talk Lord of the Rings video games with our brothers and Gamer Radio Podcast. Tune in as we nerd out about video games with our friends Trever, Cody, and Dominick.

We are happy to bring you Part 2 of our discussion of Beren and Lúthien, the first of Tolkien's Three Great Tales of the Elder Days. Tune in and nerd out with us as we discuss the EPIC conclusion of this essential tale!

We are VERY excited to bring to you our first episode pertaining to Tolkien's Three Great Tales of the Elder Days! This episode will focus on the first of the three tales, "Beren and Lúthien". This is not only one of the most magical and fantasy-like of Tolkien's tales, but it is also one of the oldest tales in Tolkien's Legendarium. Tune in and nerd out with us as we talk about this amazing story...

We wanted to switch things up for episode 7. Rather then spewing a bunch of information at you, we wanted to have a relaxed open discussion with some friends about Tolkien's work, and what it means to us. Tune in as we nerd out with some friends of ours, Trever and Lauren!

For our 6th episode we thought it would be appropriate to touch on the different types of elves that exist in Tolkien's Legendarium. This episode may be the most dense with names and places, but also one of the most important for understanding all the different groups of elves we talk about. Tune in and nerd out with us as we talk about the origins and sundering of this incredibly important group...

For our 5th episode, and second character profile, we wanted to talk about one of the most important characters in all of Tolkien's work, Melkor (Morgoth). He is the origins of evil in the world of Arda, and almost all the events, from creation through the 1st Age, have to do with Melkor. Tune in, inform yourself, and nerd out with us!

For our 4th episode we thought it would be fun to do a kind of Character Profile on Sauron. Someone we think everyone knows, but might not know that much about. Tune in and nerd out with us as we go all the way back to creation itself as we review the life of The Dark Lord!

After 2 episodes of negativity we thought it would be refreshing to touch on what we actually LIKED about the Hobbit trilogy. We get so lost in the hate that we often forget there was SOME pretty cool stuff too. It is in Tolkien's universe after all. Listen in and nerd out with us!

While preparing for episode 2, we realized how many things we wanted to... critique, and became very frustrated. We should probably have sufficiently covered the topic in 1 episode, at least, as far as our audience is concerned. But we decided, eh, what the hell, LET'S MAKE IT 3 EPISODES! Because why the hell not, right Peter Jackson?

For our pilot we wanted to start with something simple, why the Hobbit movie trilogy SUCKS. Tune in for Part 1 of a multi episode critique as we rip the Hobbit trilogy a new one.
