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 maybe especially, 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.

  • The Hobbit calendar and other calendars of Middle-earth

    The Hobbit calendar and other calendars of Middle-earth
    Dec 23 2025

    Send us Fan Mail

    Tolkien is known for his language creation, but he was also masterful at creating calendars for the cultures and peoples that inhabit Middle-earth. The Shire calendar is beautifully practical - twelve months, thirty days each. Every month lines up neatly with the phases of the moon. That makes it much more regular than our messy Gregorian calendar, with its whole "thirty days hath September" guessing game. The hobbits liked their schedules steady and predictable. In fact, it's one of the few calendars where every date falls on the same day of the week every single year. So, if your birthday's on a Friday this year - bad news if you don't like Fridays - it's always on a Friday.
