  • Great show!

    Was loving the show… then episode 15. As a Stephen, I won’t stand for name slander. So this gets 5 displeased stars out of 5! But honestly really enjoying the lore. So many episodes to listen to as I wait for the Keep On Tolkien (LotR lore) podcast to drop their holiday episode.

  • Wanted to love it

    Loved this show, had to stop due to the fact that the hosts act like a bunch of immature teenagers with inflated senses of humor, and literally sound like children after a couple hrs of a binge. Love the lore hate the constant interrupting and silly jokes.

  • Brilliant Space Marine Recruitment Scheme

    Funny! Interesting! Exciting! High production value!

    I found this podcast to be the perfect introduction to a world I hardly knew anything about. I became incredibly invested long before the basics had been introduced.

    The topics and the pacing is really well thought through. The team has a funny and clever synergy that makes the info dumping super exciting and engaging.

    I’m an old crone/witch who has been fantasy focused most of my life, so the angle of questions and clarifications has be... more
