The Prancing Pony Podcast

Haven’t read the books in 20 years, but began The Hobbit with my kids after The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and I stumbled across your show. And after listening to the first episode somehow I went on! What a eucatastrophe! I listened to your movie episodes and some others and you reading some forgotten segments of LOTR gave me the push to crack open Fellowship again. Several years back on the show, I hope you guys don’t become jerks or something in the future. I really enjoy the mix of dramatic readings, philosophical deep dives, and Monty python references. Tolkien himself might even appreciate half of your show half as much as it deserves.

I am late the joining this podcast but I started at the beginning and am working my way through. This podcast has been monumental i helping me to further understand and appreciate the Legendarium. I look forward to the next 300+ episodes!

I’m just starting this pod in 2024 so I’m a bit late for the party. I’m starting at the beginning. It’s very informative and the guys are doing a great job explaining everything that I seem to need answers for. Looking forward to listening to the entire podcast. I’m fascinated with this whole store line from the books and movies. Thanks for making this !

I am a truck driver and just started listening from the very beginning of the podcast two weeks ago. Already I am at episode 30 having laughed, pondered, and cried at this humor sprinkled, comprehensive walk through of Tolkien’s works with who I have come to think of as Sean the word wizard and Alan the lore bard. These guys are knocking it out of the park or rather out of Gondor (which is hard to do where we are at in the story). I ever look forward to the next episode.
