While The Man of the West is sometimes guilty of such trouble, today’s title refers to guests at the North Pole in 1934: Polar Bear’s young cousins, Paksu and Valkotukka!

No, today’s title… oh, you know the joke by now. Join The Man of the West as we conclude our time in Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin from The Silmarillion.

Just like yesterday, today’s title still isn’t a reference to The Man of the West — though it’s a bit more obvious this time. No, today’s the day we meet baby Eärendil, the half-elf who will save the world.

Currently catching up around Week 37 and I have to say I’ve been really enjoying this. I’m fairly steeped in Tolkien lore yet there have constantly been episodes on bits I was either unfamiliar with or completely unaware of. For example, the tale of Aldarion and Erendis comes up in the vaguest hints throughout other writing but here in this podcast, the full story is told. Lot of fun to listen to!
I really like Alan’s content—he is interesting, funny, and makes me love Tolkien more. But my goodness, there are way too many ads in this podcast. Sometimes up to half of each episode is ads. And it’s not like they are good or relevant ads either. If they were products or brands that Alan picked and curated, I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with them, but they are so obnoxious and have absolutely nothing to do with the content of the podcast. I honestly haven’t listened to this podcast for ... more
Absolutely love the TTT! It’s a perfect complement to the PPP, with the same incredible readings and information, but in smaller pieces, making it good to listen to during shorter intervals. Best daily dose of Tolkien-related fun facts I could wish for!
Like the title says, nice.
These are so informative and so fun to listen to. Every episode is a little nugget of Tolkien goodness, a little treat for every day. If you love all things Tolkien, this is definitely for you.
