  • Summary

  • Have you ever wanted to know more about the world of Lord of the Rings? Maybe you even started the Silmarillion but couldn't get into it. Too many names (usually beginning with 'Fin', let's be honest). I feel you. And I have your back. Join me and my wife as I do all the research for you and explain all the amazing stuff hidden within Tolkien's works. There's like 50 years he was writing for so there's a lot. The podcast breaks down Middle-earth's history like I'm your pal at the pub. I keep it accessible and relatable because as many people as possible should appreciate Tolkien's world.

    Is Sauron just a puppet of the higher powers? Did Frodo’s quest play into a larger political scheme? Is Gandalf a terrifying John wick figure?

    64 - The Last Alliance - Sauron Part 8
    Feb 16 2025

    In this episode, we dive into Sauron’s return to Mordor after his disastrous beach trip to Númenor, his transformation from deceiver to full-blown terror lord, and the rise of Elendil and his sons in Middle-earth.


    We break down how Aragorn is connected to Númenor’s good side, the founding of Gondor and Arnor, and the Last Alliance’s war against Sauron.


    Also, we mourn the Entwives, question Elven leadership skills, and admire some good old fisticuffs.

Easy to listen to

Chris and Becca make it easy to get into Middle Earth lore. I,like Becca, have trouble with names so it’s nice to get an in depth walk through and not have to be too pressed about names cuz I know Chris and Becca will keep me straight haha! Very good listen - highly recommend.
