“Whether you’re a Tolkien nerd or a fan of the films, or just confused about who all these elves, humans, hobbits, Dwarfs, Orcs and Wizards are, this is the place to help sift through it all. Really fun podcast, but also super informative.
I found this when I started watching Amazon’s Rings of Power show… I was muddled because the pre- history shown in the series was maybe different from the somewhat familiar history I’ve absorbed after reading The Hobbit and LOTR books every year since I was 14, and and watching the PJ films every year as well.
Alan and Shawn broke the Amazon series down… and roused my curiosity to checkout this PPPodcast. SO GLAD I DID! OMG, I’ve learned so much and enjoyed the jokes, the book/ chapter breakdowns, the guest hosts and started to feel a part of the Tolkien community, which wasn’t really on my radar- despite being an avid re-reader for decades.
Starting w/ some of JRR Tolkien’s background, the creation of this amazing fictional world, the early histories of all the above mentioned characters, then plowing through The Silmarillion. Then thoroughly enjoying The Hobbit and LOTR books… after catching up to 5+ years of episodes, I’m proud to say I am caught up after almost two years of listening.
They planted the seed for me to listen to the audiobooks, which are amazing. Andy Serkis reading the three main (Silmarillin, Hobbit, LOTR which is actually 3 books) are fabulous. I’ve explored some of the other printed and audio books in the Tolkien Legendarium, and now I can follow the podcast and Facebook discussions better than pre- PPP.
Alan, the principal creator of the PPP says that after finishing LOTR breakdowns, he’s planning to return to The Silmarillion to do a better job than the quick run- through they did in the earliest podcasts… I cannot wait!”

“Even medicated it’s hard to keep up, stay focused, and fully understand much of Tolkien’s work for those among us with racing minds and restless hands. Though beautiful, his prose can be just a tad long winded for the impatient among us.
The prancing pony podcast does a great job of breaking...”Read full review »

“Sean and Alan's irreverence is exceeded only by their deep knowledge of, and love for, the source material. Their exploration of the nooks and crannies of The Professor's subcreation is a delight. There is something here for fans of every kind - from new readers eager to get into the...”Read full review »
