Today in our Inn we have an honor to host hne of the most distinguished contemporary Tolkien scholars Professor Michael D. C. Drout! It’s time for another English-language episode featuring a guest from the distant corners of Middle-earth! Among other things, Prof. Drout is a co-founder and one of the main editors of the prestigious annual journal “Tolkien Studies,” which publishes the most significant achievements in global Tolkien scholarship.

His latest book, which is one of the main topics of our conversation, was published at the end of 2025: “The Tower and the Ruin.” Join us and listen to the great discussion!
