Avoid if you're in search of insights into Tolkein
Very disappointing. The appellation of ‘The Tolkien Professor’ comes with expectations of scholarship and insight. Instead, it’s just solipsistic (and, frankly, deluded) burblings about making a movie of The Silmarillion. It's very Middle American in outlook rather than Middle Earth. Can't help but think that the great man would be baffled by this podcast. If it ups its game and focuses the books, I have no doubt it will improve enormously.Read full review »

More reviews of The Tolkien Professor
This podcast gives a rich, thoughtful and detailed insight into Tolkien’s literature. Pro Corey Olsen does a great job unpacking the stories.

Often an uncontrolled firehose of poorly connected concepts and ideas via a delivery that is not engaging or entertaining. Perhaps the professor should study Tolkien as a story teller?

I was browsing podcasts, hoping to find something that could investigate Tolkien a little, and have really enjoyed listening to this. The WC Tolkien course series is particularly enjoyable. Would recommend!
