    Silmarillion 2025 » Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age
    Aug 18 2025
    Our 2025 Silmarillion journey concludes with Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age!
    The last chapter of The Silmarillion is a synoptic account of the Second and Third Ages which focuses upon the legends of the Rings of Power, all the way through the events of the late Third Age depicted in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. It's something like a 50,000 foot view of the whole mass of Middle-earth's history after the First Age, right on through the story of Frodo and the Fellowship.

    Our 2025 Silmarillion journey continues with Akallabêth - the Downfall of Númenor!
    “Akallabêth” is the synoptic account of Númenor in the Second Age of Middle-earth. This account spans almost 3500 years of history. It begins with the establishment of Númenor by Elros (brother of Elrond), and ends with the destruction of the island kingdom when its last king attempts to assail The Blessed Realm.

Hi guys! I really enjoy your show. I’ve finally been able to follow along with the Silmarillion and looking to get back to those.

I’ve had a hard time with the shows geared around RoP. The amount of negativity towards timeline issues and basically everything else. There is a lot of good in the show too, so much that does stay true to Tolkien.

Literally the first thing I said when she mentioned Celeborn is “Oh good, John will be happy now” lol. But no, still complaining about them not having a daughter. There’s so many characters in this world and moving pieces, the storytellers do need to limit how many characters they add. I’m sure we will see him next season and she will get pregnant at the end of the show. It will be fine.

This is an awesome moment in time where we get to explore new places in Tolkiens world and this show has done an amazing job of that! Just enjoy it.

Calm down

I've been a longtime listener, introduced first through Spotify. John and Greta do a great job bringing the works of Tolkien into podcast form and make a solid pair of presenters. When the show began, one of the hosts had written a book on Beren and Luthien; the other had almost no knowledge of Tolkien's works. As John and Greta journeyed through Tolkien's works, I (someone who's been reading Tolkien since I was 8) really appreciated the perspective Greta brought into the show. So many podcasts on Tolkien are just super fans; it was refreshing getting someone experiencing it all for the first time while being guided by someone of expert level. It would be foolish to think a podcast about Tolkien would not discuss religion at all, but I found this to always be more of a scholarly way of discussing it, and it's always been very level headed, anyone concerned about that should be at ease. It's been a wonderful 300 episodes and I'm thrilled to see what's to come. I'll end with a quote that I believe these two have followed pretty well. "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." The road goes ever on indeed, and I'm glad to be on it.

Longtime listener, finally able to leave a review
