Have you ever wanted to know more about the world of Lord of the Rings? Maybe you even started the Silmarillion but couldn't get into it. Too many names (usually beginning with 'Fin', let's be honest). I feel you. And I have your back. Join me and my wife as I do all the research for you and explain all the amazing stuff hidden within Tolkien's works. There's like 50 years he was writing for so there's a lot. The podcast breaks down Middle-earth's history like I'm your pal at the pub. I keep it accessible and relatable because as many people as possible should appreciate Tolkien's world.A Drunk History of Middle-earth Art

    Chris Hikes 26 miles dressed as a Hobbit for charity: https://shorturl.at/6AbHf


    Chris pops in to discuss the nature of evil in Middle-earth. He looks at whether Morgoth was really as chaotic as he seemed. Maybe he was a tool used by Eru to further his ultimate plan.


    The ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi is discussed. The art of making something more beautiful because of its flaws.


    Ain't no sunshine without rain, is what he's saying.


    Come discuss fate, free will, paradise and whether humans 'earned' Numenor.

    Chris' Charity Bike Ride: https://tinyurl.com/ChrisC2C


    After a long break, Chris and Becca are back to discuss the enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a blue coat and yellow boots, Tom Bombadil.


    They discuss the jolly fella, as well as a LOT of other stuff, including the history of Buckland, the origin of the name Tom, life in general, charity work, Tom as Eru's playable character in Middle-earth and uncountable other things.


    We reach levels of philology we didn't think possible.

    This is a new format for the show. Much deeper and much more conversational. Expect longer episodes going forward.
