2022 was a pretty busy year for this podcast and for Tolkiendom on a broad scale! It was pretty intense to cover both The Silmarillion and The Rings of Power.
And, to quote Bilbo, it’s made me feel like butter scraped over too much bread. I may have been TOO HASTY at times!
There’s so much Tolkien still to cover. And to re-read!
But sometimes you need to slow down and breath a little deeper…

10 Years Ago Today
A few years ago, my family watched the entire Lord of the Rings film trilogy over Christmas break (extended editions, OF COURSE).
It was great, and to my delight, it left a deep impression on my kids.
It just felt like perfect Christmas viewing.
Which is odd, because The Lord of the Rings has nothing to do with Christmas…
