By-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. Tolkien

By-The-Bywater is my favorite podcast. This trio is a great mix of fun and insightful personalities, the jokes are funny, the deep dives are fascinating, and even if you’re a casual Tolkien fan, the laid back and conversational style and friendly way they describe his lesser known works can be really helpful, and they make a point of explaining the more complex parts so even just the movie fans can participate. The vibe of this podcast brings me back to my days of passing notes with a friend of mine in Algebra class, but hoping the teacher would catch us, because we wrote them in Tengwar. I can’t wait for my preorder of “The West Passage”, JP! 😁 -Kat W.

Informative and detailed, yet also, a lot of fun and entertaining. Covers a wide variety of topics, but always focused on Tolkien.

Every episode is cool I’m addicted

Really good!! 👍
