- Cozy nerdiness
Got to love the attention to details and the good nature of Olsén as a host.

Sweden3 months ago - An Entish Reading
A wonderful reading of the best book of the twentieth century. The slow pace is worthy of Treebeard. Narnian points many hidden gems out. LOTRO is a great medium within which to “Explore the Lord of the Rings.” I hope to catch up and listen to the Grey Havens.

United States5 months ago - Deep rather than broad
Many of the podcasts I follow give great overviews of whole eras of history or types of literature in a half hour. It is harder to find deep dives into topics beyond the barest introduction. This podcast scratches that itch for the lotr, one of my heart books.
Apple Podcasts5Red2138United States7 months ago - Wonderful
A truly deep and wonderful dive. I only worry that only those few us families of who will reach five score years and remain hale, will ever see the end of it!
