Spoiler: it doesn’t end well.
I’ll walk you through how the biggest empire of Men managed to self-destruct in the most dramatic way possible, with plenty of bad decisions, arrogance, and a biblical-level flood. It’s a disaster. You’ll love it.

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.
