Escape to Middle Earth
Congrats to the Star Quest Production Network for reviving this fantastic podcast on LOTR and all things Tolkien. The format really works: host Fr. Roderick (a sort of new media Fulton Sheen, sans cassock) walks you through a sound-seeing tour of Middle Earth via LOTR Online, the video game based on the books/films. The audio atmosphere pairs well with the host's captivating comments and descriptions; fans can dip their feet into Tolkien's strange and stunning world, without the time commitment of cracking the books for the umpteenth time. In the latest episodes of the podcast, Fr. Roderick meets friends (co-hosts) along the way who helpfully fill in canon gaps, provide background mythology from the Silmarillion, and make clever connections to myths and stories that inform Tolkien's writing. This podcast is like having relatives in Rivendell. Keep it up! I enjoy escaping to Middle Earth with the SQPN crew!Read full review »

More reviews of Secrets of Middle Earth
The effort put into this is pretty high, perhaps too high. All the music and sound effects takes away from the content. The sprinkling in of Christian propoganda didn't help either.Read full review »

I really, really enjoy this podcast! It's easy to listen to, and runs smoothly. Fr. Roderick really knows what he's talking about too, which is sometimes a rareity to find, in the world of Tolkien!

Just wanted to let you all know that SOLR will be restarting soon, under the new guise "Secrets of Middle Earth" (though I believe this iTunes feed will still work for it).Read full review »
