Thoughtful Fun
One of my favorite gaming podcasts. Enjoy the thoughtful deep dives on RPG story meanings (and LotR). The two hosts have a good camaraderie. Audio quality very good. Keep it up!

Love the Tolkien-readings.
Very few things are as wonderful as the readings of Tolkien’s writings one finds at the State of the Arc podcast. The Silmarillion discussions are now thankfully being joined by just as illuminating, thoughtful, intelligent, witty and inspiring readings of the Lord of the Rings. Thank you so much!
