We're talkin' Tolkien! Steven and Tom discuss J.R.R. Tolkien, author of Farmer Giles of Ham, as well as lesser-known works like The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Follow us as we followed Bilbo and Frodo through these unforgettable, iconic books. Come for the spectacularly detailed world-building and epic quests! Stay for singing elves, bad animated adaptations, the good live action movies, calendars, pirate editions of the trilogy, and more. Plus, can you guess which of us made it though The Silmarillion? And is Tom Bombadil really a merry old fellow? For feedback, contact [email protected]. You can also find us on Facebook, Reddit, and Bluesky. And if you like what you hear, please tell a friend. © 2025 Tom Grant and Steven Taylor
