The Prancing Pony Podcast is a weekly show about the Middle-earth legendarium of J.R.R. Tolkien, hosted - for six seasons - by Alan Sisto and Shawn E. Marchese. Now in its ninth season, Alan is joined by an all-star cast of co-hosts as he explores more of Middle-earth! Alan and all his co-hosts are passionate Tolkien enthusiasts, inviting listeners to enjoy their detailed exploration of Tolkien’s work, with smart but straightforward discussion and a healthy dose of self-effacing humor, pop-culture references, and bad puns. These are the folks you'd want to hang out with at a pub and talk Tolkien with!© The Prancing Pony Podcast Arte Historia y Crítica Literaria

    Tar-Aldarion changes the law of succession in Númenor; thankfully primogeniture will play no role in determining Sara’s successor on the podcast. Join The Man of the West and The Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we conclude the long and tragic tale of Aldarion and Erendis — and say farewell to Sara for this season. Soronto waits for a day that will never come, Hallacar slides into Ancalimë’s DMs, and there’s a shadow hanging over Erendis as she meets her sorrowful end in Rómenna. We note that Silmarien wants a word, wonder what the Quenya is for “man, my parents are a mess”, and discuss the great Númenórean dirigible. Also, Númenórean mix tapes.

    All of Aldarion’s efforts in Middle-earth were swept away with time and tide; we’ll have to wait awhile to see about all of Alan’s efforts on the podcast. Join The Man of the West and The Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we begin our two-episode conclusion on Aldarion and Erendis, looking at the ‘notes and jottings’ that make up The Further Course of the Narrative. Tar-Aldarion sailed in from Armenelos BOAC, didn’t get to bed last night; Erendis has much to say about the men of Númenor, and Hallatan gets an unexpected promotion. We compare Aldarion to a bowl of pears, spend too much time Beatling it, and design our ‘What Would Tar-Aldarion Do?’ bracelets. Also, Tolkien says Erendis was right.

    393 – From Me to You (the Sceptre)
    Dec 14 2025
    Aldarion prepares to go from this misenchanted isle of daydreams filled with insolent women; Alan puts 10 pence in the Sara to get her take on said ‘insolent women’. Join The Man of the West and The Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we near the end of Aldarion and Erendis from Unfinished Tales. Aldarion lays out his demands to the King; to soften the blow (and quiet the rumors), Meneldur sends the Sceptre along, “with love, from me to you”; and a letter from Erendis leads Aldarion to a rant that proves she’s damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. We admire Meneldur’s mic drop moment, decide Aldarion would claim to be a “high-value male” on today’s social media, and speculate about the population density of Númenórean ships. Also, Alan regrets not pronouncing the H. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Been a huge fan of the PPP for a while now and Alan and company do not disappoint with their vast knowledge of the books and lore as well as the many interviews with Tolkien scholars and artists. I can’t think of a better podcast to listen to everyday.

Hey guys I’m about 35 episodes into this podcast and I love it. Is exactly what I’m looking for as a fantasy fan. Especially as a J. R. R. Tolkien fan. These guys dig right into the heart of the lengendarium and pinpoint supple plots and Easter eggs. I love it. If you’re a fan you should listen.
