A Drunk History Of Middle-earth

We're joined by Aleks Pointyeared from the Fellowship of the Readers book club. A tight-knit discord community currently reading The Fall of Númenor. Come join us! Links below. We put the elves' favourite badlad on trial for his actions. Becca is the judge, our guest is the defence and I am the outnumbered prosecution. We look at Fëanor's life and actions, as well as digging into some deep lore such as very petty behaviour in relation to language.

It's just Chris this week. He gets real nerdy with it, discussing how Elvish names work. He also covers what's known about the Valarin language.

Festive drinks and a look at celebrations throughout Middle-earth. Fanfic not included.

We bring our Noldor series to a close as they get to Middle-earth. It's the end of the beginning. It gets a bit... heated. Massive thank you to Alex from The Silmarillion Soundtrack who let us use "The Oath of Feanor" track in this episode. What a work of art it is!

https://linktr.ee/lotradhome We discuss why elf divorce is a very important issue, then we discuss the elf you love to hate (Feanor) and what happens to the Noldor as a result of Morgoth's lies. We get deep and continue the history of the Noldor in our ongoing series. For the nerds: We discuss some views on the statute of Finwe and Miriel, the Oath of Feanor, the exile to Formenos and the Noldor's view of the Darkening of Valinor.

https://linktr.ee/lotradhome First episode in our series on the Noldor Elves. We take a look at their history and notable figures. My bias for Feanor really shows here.

https://linktr.ee/lotradhome Our last episode for spooky season! We discuss the citadel/fortress/hell on Arda that is Utumno and then Angband. Come get spooky before xmas.

Why didn't Ungoliant get the sexy Shelob treatment? It's so unfair. We get deep this week and discuss the eldritch history of Ungoliant, alternate versions of her that Tolkien first envisioned, and possible origins.

Few glasses of Whiskey, and a chat about Hobbits. Today we discuss Hobbit history, origins, their gift giving culture and of course the language that crops up around them. Turns out halfling was pretty offensive to them, which sucks.
