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.

    62 - The Downfall of Númenor - Sauron Part 7

    Right. Númenor. Big fancy island, best blokes in Middle-earth, then they get ideas above their station and decide to invade heaven on earth. Because that always ends well. Enter Sauron—smooth talker, professional gaslighter—who convinces them to bin their common sense and pick a fight with the gods. Spoiler: it doesn’t end well. I’ll walk you through how the biggest empire of Men managed to self-destruct in the most dramatic way possible, with plenty of bad decisions, arrogance, and a biblical-level flood. It’s a disaster. You’ll love it. Grab a pint. You’re gonna need it. 🍻

    55 - Shelob, Ungoliant and Feminism in Tolkien Ft Kaiakayy

    I'm joined this week by Kaiakayy, a Tolkien content creator, as we discuss Shelob and Ungoliant and their role within Tolkien's legendarium and how they're set against the 'traditional' female characters. We review a paper that examines female characters in Tolkien's world and what makes these two so evil.
