A Drunk History Of Middle-earth
A Drunk History of Middle-earth
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.
