I’m so happy you guys are back releasing episodes. This is pretty much the only LOTR podcast that I listen to regularly. Always entertaining and of course informative.
I’m a massive Tolkien fanboy and this podcast is grand! The guys have a pretty good chemistry and it seems like they’re in a pub having a pint and talking about Tolkien’s mythology. A must listen.
