Welcome to Middle Earth!

If you've always wanted to get into Tolkien's work, but were intimidated by the sheer enormity and vastness of his work, then get on board with this podcast. Let the GDP team guide you through the characters, themes, and ideas put on the table by Tolkien. It's a podcast that takes very dense material and unpacks it so that you can get fully immerse yourself without getting lost! Highly recommended! I give it one star!

Just kidding. I give it all the stars! Subscribe now you fool of a Took!

Green Door Podcast pleases!

Love "The Hobbit" and "Lord of The Rings" but daunted by the biblical tone of "The Silmarillion"?
Don't shy from reading the work that uncovers the underpinnings of the entire Tolkien legendarium. There are amazing stories awaiting you.
Kick back with your copy, and let the hosts James and Ads bring you into the fold. A leisurely, entertaining listen and with the addition of May, the party behind the Green Door really gets going.
There are other Tolkien themed helpful podcasts, but this one is unique. In a wonderful way!
