The Tolkien Podcast

De: Larry D. Curtis
  • Resumen

  • You've found THE TOLKIEN PODCAST where we will explore three essential things you need to know about J.R.R. Tolkien:


    1. Why he is THE author of the 20th Century
    2. Why six movies made outside of Hollywood in New Zealand have earned a stunning $6 billion just at the box office from all around the globe while earning so much more money in so many other ways
    3. And why and how the author's words changed and will continue to influence the world we all live in.

    That's the launching point of the The Tolkien Podcast where as your host, my voice will be one of many you will hear from every corner of our world including scholars, artists, craftspeople, film makers, and Tolkienites, all reflecting on his works including the legendarium of Middle-earth. While we will delve deep into the past, Tolkien fans also have a lot to look forward to, as more works directly and indirectly inspired by The Professor continue to follow in his incomparable footsteps of creation.

  • How to successfully read Tolkien's THE SILMARILLION
    May 7 2025

    Send us a text

    J.R.R. Tolkien's THE SILMARILLION provides the cosmology behind his best know works THE LORD OF THE RINGS and THE HOBBIT. It presents all that came before, preparing Middle-earth for the War of the Ring. But lacking the same storytelling structure of those best known works, Tolkien's legendarium can present challenges to readers. Here we talk strategies, resources and tips for readers who may find the names, geography and massive volume of characters to be a challenge.

    But if you are for the challenge, arm yourself with this advice and prepare to be richly rewarded by one of Tolkien's essential works.

  • Who is The Mouth of Sauron?
    Apr 9 2025

    Unlike many of the servants of Middle-earth's Dark Lord, The Mouth of Sauron was a mortal man who rose through the ranks to become the general and communicator of the great flaming eye. On The Tolkien Podcast, we read from select passages and discuss the person destined to help rule Middle-earth — if Sauron had won the War of the Ring.

  • What (who) is Tom Bombadil ?
    Mar 31 2025

    Send us a text

    Appearing only in a few pages of FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, with few mentions elsewhere, and not appearing in most adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's THE LORD OF THE RINGS, Tom Bombadil has always captured the imagination of readers. We look at who Tom is, which is really more an examination of WHAT Tom is. And, we look carefully at the recent and significant depiction of the merry fellow on TV screens. The show also introduces listeners to a hand-made Tolkien necklace as part of the growing support for THE TOLKIEN PODCAST.
