Where the Shadows Lie: A Rings of Power Podcast Kat and Wren

In this episode, we go deep into the spectacle of “Udûn.” Tune in to hear our takes on the climactic battle of the season, our favorite moments from Galadriel, Adar, Elendil, and Aronwyn, and why this episode nearly ended Wren’s life.

In this week's episode, we meet "The Great Wave." Tune in as we discuss The Power of Disa, the “elf workers are taking our jobs” controversy, and our appreciation for this new interpretation of Middle Earth Orcs.
