Not only has this podcast blessed my life, but it has enriched each day. Listening to them grow and become more, just as I do has been monumental. Welcome Ez to the Dad part of the universe, blessings to him and this new chapter of his adventure. PS. Just realized that not only is this podcast 7 years old now, but me and my Rosie have been married 7 years two weeks ago. Glad to be on this journey together.

Starting from the beginning of the podcast I have been listening as I reread Lord of the Rings for the first time in 15 or so years and these guys bring IT everytime! I love the energy, the lore, the discussions that bring in the movies and the other texts, and especially the continuous inside jokes that we are privy to when listening pod after pod (don’t forget the sniffing!) I very much reccommend this and I have talked many times about this pod already with friends.

Nobody cares what you think. We listen because we like the show. You are not Siskel and Ebert God speed to your demise.

Good conversation but the guy on the bad phone was unlistenable. I hope opt to go solo rather than have loud static inserted in the podcast. I hope the guy gets an upgrade form his carrier.

Ez and Lane offer an entertaining and leisurely reread as your new fun friends. They’re casual yet seriously committed fans who enjoy Tolkien’s work, his fans, and personally connecting with the text. Between listening to Tolkien’s audiobooks and this podcast; the air of my home is casually filled with Tolkien fun as I work around the house. They make their Tolkien podcast accessible to all, no elvish dictionary required! Join them as they enjoy and grow in their own Tolkien fandom and see how that evolves as well throughout the years on the podcast. Whether they’re talking about the latest visual media representation of Tolkien’s work, the Silmarillion, or their own adventure into telling Hobbit stories you’re sure to enjoy time with Ez and Lane.

Lane and Ez exude positivity, making this the most awesome place for any Tolkien fan to be. I just started the re-read with them from the very beginning of their episodes, but I listened to their Rings of Power episodes and Hobbit Hotline, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Can’t emphasize enough how welcoming and enjoyable they are. They have no clue who I am, but I’m super grateful I found their podcast and this community of positive fans who want to talk about Tolkien’s greatness! Thanks so much, guys!

Come for the Tolkien and stay for Lane and Ez. Travel through the adventure; bats, dark riders, and more. Enjoy the laughter, the sniffing, the beer in the throat. These guys are awesome and they bring their genuine selves, which is more than can be expected. I found this Podcast during a difficult time in my life and their joy and positivity mixed with the wonder and glory of Lord of the Rings truly carried me through the darkest of days. Take a listen and enjoy and bring a positive and open attitude to this truly great Podcast.

I found your podcast when I googled best Lord Of The Rings podcast and this one came up and I have not been disappointed. I love your reviews of the shows and tie ins with the books. I am not as informed on the books since I have only read the fellowship years ago. You have inspired me to dive into the realm of LOTR. Thank you for what you do and keep up the awesome work.

They take way too long to get started on the recap. I really don’t care about their recipes and their personal lives. Always have to jump ahead to skip the boring stuff

Pretty obvious, they haven’t criticized the show one time
