    Well I’m back. And I’m getting drunk with Luke as we talk about beefing with a horse, death by uppercut, and whether or not Christopher Lee could consent to AI usage.

Featured Article: Elrond—A Lord of the Rings Character Guide


If you love J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, then you know that all of the events of the story would be impossible without the half-Elf Elrond. Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell, lived in Middle-earth from the First Age to the beginning of the Fourth Age. It was with the help of Elrond that the evil Sauron was defeated and alliances were forged. Elrond is one of the most prominent characters throughout Tolkien's stories. But who is he and what is his story?

Some very biased perspectives

I like the host. She is like able and fun. However in most every show I’ve listened to there is such a biased leaning towards the left for idiotic reasons. Like it or not Tolkien was a Christian man and a man of faith. Truth doesn’t change just because it’s the “20th century”. I’m not here to listen to your liberal view points I thought I’d be hearing about the world of Middle Earth.
