Week 041 - First Age Friday: Soft a Kiss She Placed Upon His Muted Lips
It’s time for one more reading in The Lay of Leithian before we (hopefully) return to Fandom Fridays in Series 6. Poor Beren is going to have to wait awhile, but at least he has her kiss to remember.

Week 041 - Third Age Thursday: Interfering Old Busybody
No, not The Man of the West: no one would call him busy. It’s time for the last reading of this Series in A Long-expected Party, as Bilbo and Gandalf chat about the hobbit’s plans.
-
Week 041 - Word-nerd Wednesday: An Andoran Anthology
It’s time for a lingering look at a number of Númenórean names as we examine the etymology of… oh, I’m out of alliteration. Enjoy!

Week 041 - Tolkien Tuesday: Nothing Godlike or Angelic About Him
We continue our readings in Carpenter’s book, The Inklings, as we learn about C.S. Lewis’ good friend, Charles Williams — and what Tolkien thought of him, too.

Week 041 - Mailbag Monday: Maybe It’s the Mediterranean Diet?
Join The Man of the West as he begins the final week of Series 5 of the TTT with a question about the Rings of Power and longevity. Or maybe it’s the Oil of Olwë?
-
Week 040 - Second Age Saturday: Rather is She My Foe
Erendis makes her position quite clear, as she and Aldarion are reunited after his 14-year long journey. Aldarion appears to turn a new leaf, but will it stick?
Customer Reviews
Bite-sized and Very Fun!
These are so informative and so fun to listen to. Every episode is a little nugget of Tolkien goodness, a little treat for every day. If you love all things Tolkien, this is definitely for you.
Great!
Insightful, entertaining, and well produced. Short snippets to bridge the week between the Prancing Pony Podcast. If you love the work of Tolkien this is for you. !
For the love of God please stop rolling every R. It’s pretentious
Valardrd. Noldordrd. Feanordrdr. It is so distracting. I love the prancing pony but I can’t pay attention with every bloody r rolled in the readings.
