Stumbled upon this podcast while searching for a podcast to explain the Rings of Power show. I am so glad I discovered this podcast. It has been so fun to listen to each episode as I try to read the works of Tolkien. Mary Clay is hilarious and relatable. Her guests are so interesting and give me more Tolkien content to listen/watch. Love this show!

If you fancy a surreal Tolkienesque quest through UK Politics; check out season 3 of The Strange Mole Show 👍
