“Just finished season 2 coverage of rings of power. And it confirmed to me that this isn’t a good podcast. Deleted immediately from my library. First off David acted in the wrap up pod like he loved the show. Nope. You didn’t. Listen to the first 4 episodes. You yourself said you didn’t like them....”Read full review »

“Love your show. Big tolkien, marvel, game of thrones, star wars nerd!! Great content. Your coverage of The Last of Us is what brought me to your podcast. Never played the game but fell in love with the tv-show, one of the best of all time. Keep up the good work.”

“Started following this podcast after they started doing their Rings of Power overviews. I haven’t read the Silmarillion in many years and these guys can really distill that lore down in nice bite sized and relevant chunks to give me that deeper context for that is being shown and refresh my...”Read full review »

“Pronouncations and excessive R rolling are making this podcast unlistenable. Shame. Wish it was just David and John but have had to skip the ROP episodes.”

“Generally good stuff, but you usually have to wade through or skip about 7 minutes of nonsense at the beginning of each episode. We don’t need to hear about your screeners, your show guides, or your backgrounds at the beginning of every single episode.”

“Dropped in to try to satisfy my hunger for everything ROP related today. I wasn’t disappointed- thoughtful and informed content that’s easy to listen to. Also don’t fall into the trap of some other ROP podcasts of either being uncritical fanboys/girls on the one hand or dissing everything on the...”Read full review »

“It’s refreshing to hear a thoughtful, level-headed, non-snarky discussion of The Rings of Power, S2. There is actual analysis done about why certain adaptation choices are made rather than just reactions/opinions, and there is an ample amount of education going on about the lore. However,...”Read full review »

“Essential listening on Rings of Power with many interesting insights on lore. Very positive, insightful hosts. (And I like the way the hosts pronounce the names with rolling Rs, as Tolkien intended. )”

“I absolutely love this podcast for ROP S2. John and David are great and each bring a different perspective, and the addition of Tolkien-scholar Marilyn just puts it head and shoulders above any other ROP show. I’m a little late but fully intending to do the seasons pass. Keep podcasting, the road...”Read full review »

“I really like the podcast and specifically listen to it for its Star Wars content.
The constant explaining of no spoilers and then stopping the natural flow of a conversation to not spoil something is really frustrating though.
It’s even more frustrating when this happens in case of spoiling...”Read full review »
