Disappointed
Sorry to say this because I love Tolkien but I am STRUGGLING to get through these episodes, there are moments when I feel like our host is a bit condescending to his wife (maybe it’s just me) the first 3 episodes just feel so all over the place and the moments where he asks his co host “what did you think about this?” are cringeworthy because it feels like listening to a kid give a book report on something they didn’t read, he then jumps in and gives his opinion (maybe because that’s all he wanted to do in the first place or maybe because it’s clear this isn’t going anywhere) I am going to try to get further into this and see if maybe they find their groove and settle into this. I know this review might seem harsh but it’s just my personal take so far. I will update my review if, as I continue to listen, my opinion changes. I appreciate what they are setting out to do, it’s ambitious. I think their hearts are in the right place, the execution just isn’t great...

I felt like the host was continually rude to his wife - he made fun of her when she spoke and then got annoyed if she didn’t speak. He would get annoyed if she tried asserting her voice and would make things so so awkward. Strange dynamic.

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!
