    Lord of the Rings Lorecast – J.R.R. Tolkien’s World & Writings Explained

    From The Silmarillion to the Hobbit to The Rings of Power and The Lord of the Rings. From the creation of the world to what happened after the destruction of the One Ring, this podcast explains all of the lore, characters, history, and mythology of J.R.R. Tolkien's amazingly deep and complex world one topic at a time.

    It's like the best college course you could ever take with a professor who loves Middle Earth and adds in some mind-blowing concepts along the way. Whether you're new to the fandom or someone interested in brushing up on the details and expanding your perspective, this is the perfect Tolkien podcast for you.

    Tolkien's themes often repeat through his stories. With the Old Forest, we get a glimpse of Fangorn before we even know that Ents exist.

    231: Data: Older Stuff Beats Newer Stuff - What's going on? Host Crossover Chat Fall 2026 Sep 21, 2026
    Show notes

    Tolkien is more popular than ever and it's partly due to a major cultural shift. Old books are out-selling new books. Valve pc gaming sales show old game beating new games. Old music is more popular with Gen Z and A. Old movies and shows are streamed more than new ones. What is going on and what does that mean for podcasts like this?

    How do you know that you have the best friends ever? They keep your secrets better than you keep them. Merry reveals that they know all about Frodo leaving, the Ring, and even Bilbo's book, and this reveals exactly how deeply Frodo's friends care about him.

    What if you were an elf and could perfect a skill or craft over thousands of years, what would you choose? What culture would you fit most naturally into? If you lived in the Shire, where would you live? Why did Tolkien design the Valar to be married couples?
