Where the Shadows Lie: A Rings of Power Podcast

An analytical, fannish space for all things Rings of Power, with Kat and Wren. Join us as we delve into the world-building, art and design, and character development of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. On this podcast, you'll find in-depth discussions of both canon and original characters, meta analyses of the show's thematic choices, and thoughtful engagement with the series' transformational choices, which often build on and interrogate the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Most of all, we hope our discussions inspire your own interpretations of the show and deepen your experience of the series’ content and themes, all while appreciating the artisans, performers, and crew whose labor has made this return to Middle-earth possible. Subscribe for notifications about our hiatus episodes, where we'll be taking deep dives into specific characters, themes, and aspects of the lore.
