My Precious!

This podcast is amazing with all the talk about New Zealand. How Anwen is from there and her love and passion for the Rings series. Penny is amazing and you can hear her excitement within the episodes as well as the other guests that come on and the listener feedback. I can’t wait to hear more from this podcast.

Listen!

This review is specifically for the Peter Jackson movies podcasts to date. I was a little intimidated by the length of the podcasts but it felt like no time had passed when they started wrapping up the podcasts because it was so interesting.
I could listen to these ladies talk all day and I can’t wait for season 2 of Cast to make them a part of my weekly post-show viewing.

Gentle wisdom

This is such a great show! The hosts are deeply knowledgeable, but they wield that knowledge so gently that I feel myself learning instead of feeling lectured. They share so much love for Tolkien’s work and the films (and New Zealand!). If you are tired of raging fan boys, this is the place for you.
