Elves, Rings & Nerdy Things

Elves, Rings & Nerdy Things

Hosted by Sam Marvin and Sean Briggs, this podcast covers the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, adaptations of Tolkien's works, and all things nerdy. When not talking about Tolkien, we talk about D&D, Renaissance Faires, cartoons, video games, and more! We started with the following mission: Tolkien's Legendarium and all works within the genre should be accessible by everyone. We approach the material from the seats of an average fan.

We return to Numenor and figure out what in the hells is happening on that island. Isildur makes his reappearance, and we forgot he was in the show! An eagle shows up for some reason? And the elves are looking for more mithril to make more rings! Too many plot lines, too little time.
