New Listener
Longtime LOTR fan and serious Tolkien student. Ready to launch midgrade fantasy series co-developed w 3 grandkids: Narnia spirituality combined w Tolkien epic battles between good and evil. Dipped into a few podcasts and was highly impressed w content and Christian values. I decided to start w 2015 episodes and, inspired by John’s leadership/insights and Greta’s courage/authenticity, have made excellent progress in a week w The Silmarillion, which I previously avoided. Loved Tolkien’s Requiem book! John’s concept of using Beren & Luthien as a “Gateway to the 1st & 2nd Ages” is simply brilliant. I’m also going through the new book of essays about Christopher Tolkien, which is synergistic. Making rapid progress w The Silmarillion thx to John & Greta…and having fun‼️

More reviews of The Tolkien Road
I’ve been listening to this podcast since I was just getting into my teenage years back in 2015 and it is the greatest Tolkien podcast I have ever listened to. Would totally recommend for casual Tolkien fans, deep Tolkien fans or even new Tolkien fans. Great for everyone!

Very clear how passionate John and Greta are about all things related to Tolkien. Always interesting and honest, occasional rabbit trails that add to keeping the show entertaining. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the world of Middle-Earth.
