“Hi guys - Started listening to your show a few months ago for the silmarillion podcasting and am excited to listen to the lord of the rings and hobbit ones and then even the miscellaneous ones after! I only wish I had started listening while you guys were recording so I could have tried my hand at some Haikus and such.
My first time through the silmarillion was a real struggle but was amazed at all the story and background. Second time through was a little better, and third time even better. All in a matter of maybe 6 months. However I don’t think I will ever enjoy the lays of beleriand chapter (ha) but cannot bring myself to skip a single sentence. I still don’t have the names and timelines down. You two are entertaining to listen to and I can relate to the whole rock scissors paper naming debate haha. Maybe record audiobooks of tolkien if that’s even allowed and you run out of ideas - would love to listen! I’m a college kid (engineering not English major) and listen to you guys on the bus to and from school daily - as well as in the car on my long commutes home - was glad to find you guys. You are rockstars! Party on and keep finarfin :)”
