“Currently catching up around Week 37 and I have to say I’ve been really enjoying this. I’m fairly steeped in Tolkien lore yet there have constantly been episodes on bits I was either unfamiliar with or completely unaware of. For example, the tale of Aldarion and Erendis comes up in the vaguest...”Read full review »

“I really like Alan’s content—he is interesting, funny, and makes me love Tolkien more. But my goodness, there are way too many ads in this podcast. Sometimes up to half of each episode is ads. And it’s not like they are good or relevant ads either. If they were products or brands that Alan picked...”Read full review »

“Absolutely love the TTT! It’s a perfect complement to the PPP, with the same incredible readings and information, but in smaller pieces, making it good to listen to during shorter intervals. Best daily dose of Tolkien-related fun facts I could wish for!”

“I really need my short daily dose of Tolkien. In this podcast, Alan Sisto gives me exactly that, and really well. For depth, go to the Prancing Pony Podcast. For a quick thought on the Silmarillion, the Third Age (which is far more than just the LOTR) or a Tolkien word, this is the place. Great fun!”

“Insightful, entertaining, and well produced. Short snippets to bridge the week between the Prancing Pony Podcast. If you love the work of Tolkien this is for you. !”

“I love these daily shorts on all things Tolkien. It’s a really great idea and fills a void that many content creators overlook. A mix of lore and actual Tolkien background is a fresh perspective. Many look to only the lore and do not pay enough attention to the man behind the myth. Bravo Alan!”

“I’ve been a devoted follower of the Prancing Pony Podcast (PPP) from the beginning so I can tell you that Today’s Tolkien Times (TTT) is the best of the best! Listen to the PPP on a long drive or wherever else you have time to think, but be nourished daily by the TTT with bite-sized nuggets that...”Read full review »

“Alan does a great job being concise and on-topic in the TTT! The episodes are enjoyable, though I find the daily schedule to be a little overwhelming. It’s hard to keep up! However, that’s mostly due to personal preference. My only critique is the number of ads. There’s sometimes as much digital...”Read full review »

“Today’s Tolkien Times is the perfect little daily dose of Tolkien. From topics stemming directly from the legendarium to discussion about Tolkien’s life and everything in between, it’s a great way to have a daily reminder of why we are a part of the amazing Tolkien Community. And I love that TTT...”Read full review »

“At less than 10 minutes, each episode focuses tightly on one specific aspect of Tolkien’s sub-creation, philology, or biography. It is a fantastic way to start any day… and it helps me start mine feeling good about the world (just as Tolkien’s stories do). Alan Sisto has grown over the years from...”Read full review »

“As a fan and patron of The Prancing Pony Podcast, I looked forward to experiencing Alan's new venture.
The first few episodes haven't disappointed. He's contrived concise deep dives that's are both fun and fascinating. The 3 T's are like a free P5. Brilliant!
I highly...”Read full review »

“Tasty tidbits of Tolkien goodness, offered to you six days a week by the Man of the West himself, Alan Sisto. Sundays, of course, are the dates for the award-winning Prancing Pony Podcast, but for the rest of the week, Alan is offering a daily tapas plate, mixing in a variety of types of...”Read full review »
