An incredible show
I just finished Season 1 of this podcast. This podcast is one of the best podcasts I have ever heard. I started listening in April when I decided to begin reading the Silmarillion after my first read through of Lord of the Rings. Alan and Shawn made the complicated syntax of the book so much more digestible. Additionally, the witty banter and playful tone of the show makes it feel like you’re simply sitting there listening to two nerds(I say so endearingly) geek out about their favorite subject. I also feel like the hosts are always kind, thoughtful, and courteous with their words and what they choose to say, while still being hilarious. I do not usually laugh out loud at media, but the PPP has me giggling constantly. Just an all around great show and piece of media! Cannot wait to continue listening through the Hobbit!.

An in depth coverage of the Silmarillion with help of supporting material from the History of Middle Earth series. The guys have a great appreciation Tolkien's words and concepts. At the same time they present the material with good humor. Keep up the good work. I'm enjoying it a lot.Read full review »
