Don't miss out on half the fun—hit play and let's dive back into Middle-earth!

The Rings of Power is Amazon's epic fantasy series set thousands of years before the events of The Lord of the Rings. Set during Middle-earth's Second Age, the show chronicles the rise of evil forces that threaten to plunge the world into darkness. The story unfolds across multiple locations and follows several key characters, including the elven warrior Galadriel, who is determined to hunt down the remnants of Sauron’s forces, and a young Elrond, who navigates political intrigue among the elves.

As the threat of Sauron looms, the series delves into the forging of the titular Rings of Power, artifacts that grant immense power to their bearers and play a crucial role in the eventual rise of Sauron. Alongside these events, we witness the struggles of humans, dwarves, and even the Harfoots (ancestors of the Hobbits) as they all play a part in the unfolding drama.

The series is known for its stunning visuals, expansive world-building, and its exploration of themes like power, corruption, and the endurance of hope in the face of overwhelming evil. The Rings of Power is a rich addition to the Tolkien universe, offering new perspectives on the legendary tales that shaped Middle-earth.

Sorry for the pleasure delay... for a few great laughs and a chat about Sauron's latest meat suit, Galadriel's flushed cheeks and self-deceits, the Red Flower of peril, Sam Gamgee, the goodness, mentions to The Witches, ET, Star Wars, Ghostbusters... ectoplasm is in Star Wars gaff, gravy boats and touching balls. A final episode worth waiting for - wouldn't you say?

How many ROP pods have you listened to that identified the Macbeth references? None, right?

This is a balanced Rings of Power podcast. We find the beautiful in this show, while having a good laugh at the foibles. Hopefully the dreadful foibles will give way to the great art we have seen so far in this incredible series. More caviar. Less turd. In this episode...

Some heavy breathing, Galadriel humbled, an amazing and disturbing Irish synchronicity, regrets: sorry Nori; sorry Elendil; sorry Galadriel; sorry Theo; sorry Elrond; sorry Durin... who is Greenwood the Great... Is the Stranger Radagast? Let us pick lettuce plants. 3 witches. 

Lady Macbeth and the ornament of life, the cat and the shiny fishes, elfishes, dwarfishes, riddles in the hollow mind and secrets in the hollow 'mind' [read - mine]..... "Is this a digger I see before me?"

You will not find another Rings of Power podcast quite like this one. We specialize in revealing that which other podcasters and writers don't see, and entertaining you along the way. From the creators of Saul Rewind, the popular Better Call Saul podcast. From the creator of Proper Full-On Gay Crisis - the popular Heartstopper podcast.

Sorry we're a bit late - a balrog ate our homework. Plenty more shenanigans and deep, dark, inky thoughts. Enjoy!
