Exploring Tolkien – A Lord of the Rings Podcast
Before the Rings of Power, there were the Silmarils. Before Sauron, there was his master Morgoth. Before Aragorn and Arwen, there was Beren and Lúthien. Join Jonathan Watson and Michael Grumbine, as they explore all the ages of Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
We first met while co-hosting The Babylon Bee’s Lord of the Rings podcast that read through Tolkien’s masterpiece from 2020 to 2022.
Though we come from different experiences reading Tolkien–and an unabashed respect for Tolkien’s original creation–the love we have for Tolkien’s world, his characters, his words, and his vision is clear in every episode.
We’re excited to have you listening along with us!
