This week we take a look at the origins of Humans in Tolkien's world. We also take a deep dive into a quite unknown work called the tale of Adanel, which is a myth about how Humans were first corrupted away from Eru and towards Morgoth. Strap in cos it's gonna get sad.

This week we take a look at the Lord of the Nazgûl and his very long history.

This guy is like 4000 years old, and we only see him for a short time in Lord of the Rings. Criminal. Let's look at why he was the chief of Sauron's servants.

We discuss the various economies of middle-earth this week. From Hobbits in the Shire, to the slaves of Mordor, and everyone in between!

We're joined by Aleks Pointyeared from the Fellowship of the Readers book club. A tight-knit discord community currently reading The Fall of Númenor. Come join us! Links below.

We put the elves' favourite badlad on trial for his actions. Becca is the judge, our guest is the defence and I am the outnumbered prosecution. We look at Fëanor's life and actions, as well as digging into some deep lore such as very petty behaviour in relation to language.
