000: The Beginner's Guide to Lord of the Rings
Mae g'ovannen! (Welcome!) The Beginner's Guide to Lord of the Rings is an introduction to Tolkien's mythology and the stories that are foundational to the Lord of the Rings. This show is for you if you've only seen the movies, or maybe even read the books, and want to know a little more of Tolkien's tales but don't want to read The Silmarillion. This show will help you deepen your enjoyment of Amazon Studios' upcoming LOTR series. Subscribe and share with a friend! First episode of this podcast will be available December 19, 2021.
Fair warning: if you are a die-hard, Tolkien-only, never-Lewis, Shire-resident, Elf-in-disguise, super fan of Lord of the Rings, this show may not be for you. You're still welcome to listen and share with your friends who may not be as nerdy as you or I, because (as you know) "not all those who wander are lost."
