Fool of a Took Socials: https://shorturl.at/92y3A

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!

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.

Chris was indisposed, so I've returned to spill some home truths about the world.

In this captivating exploration of Middle Earth, this truther delves into the hidden truths and conspiracies surrounding the Valar, Mount Doom, and the mysterious disappearance of the Entwives.

He presents a compelling argument that Mount Doom is not merely a volcano but a clean energy reactor, and that the Valar have a vested interest in keeping Middle Earth in a state of stagnation.

The discussion also touches on the enigmatic Nameless Things that consume history and knowledge, posing a dire warning about their influence on the world.
