The Tolkien Podcast
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.

Every time fans argue, a Balrog gets its wings
Balrogs, creatures of shadow and flame in J.R.R. Tolkien's universe are, pardon the pun, a topic of hot debate. They are also cool, as, well, cool as hell (Udûn.) In this episode we take a walk through the valley of the shadow to discuss these powerful, captivating and often debated creatures, and take on the old debate: wings vs. no wings.
