“I always looked past many of the jokes and digressions because the Tolkien content and analysis is incredible. I’m okay with some digressions — and sometimes felt they were funny and added a lighthearted charm to the podcast — however, they are increasing in occurrence, duration, and annoyance of late. It’s bringing me to even click the “skip 30” button which used to only be reserved for ads and North Wing segments. Talk about rolling your eyes at the herb master of Gondor, I cannot believe how often I roll my eyes as Alan forces already belabored, unfunny jokes that interrupt guests mid-sentence. At best, it’s distracting. At worst, it derails a serious point of analysis and just feels self-absorbed. This is all unfortunate. The analysis is truly insightful, the guests have incredible experience with the material, and I’ve been listening for years. My patience however is wearing thin. I’m not the only listener who has noticed the change per reviews. Please listen to our feedback and make some adjustments to the script.”

“When claiming to be fans of Tolkien, re: Lord of the Rings, most people I know really only mean the films. I've always wanted to delve into conversations regarding Tolkien's works, and this podcast sates that desire. Shawn and Alan are thoughtful, insightful, and occasionally funny -...”Read full review »
