About this listen

 Have you ever wanted to know more about the world of Lord of the Rings? Maybe you even started the Silmarillion but couldn't get into it. Too many names (usually beginning with 'Fin', let's be honest). I feel you. And I have your back. Join me and my wife as I do all the research for you and explain all the amazing stuff hidden within Tolkien's works. There's like 50 years he was writing for so there's a lot. The podcast breaks down Middle-earth's history like I'm your pal at the pub. I keep it accessible and relatable because as many people as possible should appreciate Tolkien's world.A Drunk History of Middle-earth Art

    This week we're joined by the lovely lads Chris and Pat from the Fool of a Took Podcast. 4 Americans who have a similar goal to us. They bring you to Tolkien in a relaxed, accessible way!


    Join us for a good long chat about where they are in reading the books, gatekeeping in the Tolkien community (it's bad, don't do it), the history of the Stewards in Gondor, how middle-earth is a mad-max apocalypse, and so much more.


    Get them wherever you listen, but mainly on YouTube, as they're primarily a video podcast!

    This week we kick off our new big series. It's the man, the myth, the legend, Aragorn II.


    An incredible deep dive into the names and titles of this man, including Chris and Becca upset at losing 35 minutes of audio that was some of the best that's never been recorded.

I like the relaxed way they tell the history of middle earth. I am understanding a lot more now and maybe i will start to understand rings of power
