Pitch perfect, with some much needed humor

, i’ve spent the last 2 years working for one of the four biggest LoTR channels on youtube and i’ve found it strange how much push back there is writing for the top four LoTR channels. I’m sure you could seek me out if you’d like, but i just wanted to say as someone who teaches and popularizes Tolkien ranging anywhere fro 3-5 scripts a week, and yet what you have is lightning in a bottle man, as 1 of the 4 — haha, big fraud — i thought of joining your patreon to try to connect and maybe work something out so our 211k subscribers checking you out.
don’t judge me too harshly if you seek me out. 4th biggest LoTR channel isn’t so bad and it’s a good time to be a fan. Love y guys, my brother and I have the same joke for ‘War for the Sake of the Elves’ and ‘The War of the Elves and Sauron.”
As opaque as that title seems, scholarly consensus by the most discerning and subtlety cunning of modern fandom to mean,, pardon my translation … “It’s a war between the elves and Sauron”, which is out of nowhere, right. As for the earlier confrontation, “War for the sake of the Elves” has yet to be fully discerned by scholars, though it is speculated to be an account of a war between the elves and Sauron, as outlandish as that speculation is.

The most fun

I listen and re-listen and re-listen all the time at work. There’s always something new to pick up on, or look forward to.
Thanks for the fun!

My fav Tolkien podcast!!!!!

I love you guys so much, I’ve listened to every single episode!! I have tried to listen to other Tolkien podcasts but none of them are anywhere near as good as this one. KOT is informative, hilarious, and soo fun to listen to. In comparison other podcasts feel boring or annoying tbh. I’m such a huge fan! I love the way Danny & Joel think about Tolkien, they have the best takes & opinions. I miss y’all but I also want to thank you for creating this for free, if y’all come back I will absolutely become a patron & contribute what I can, you deserve the support for such amazing content! <333
