No Tacos For Tyrants

Vacay Ep: JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion, Part 1


Listen Later

I'm on vacation for a couple weeks, so I pre-recorded a couple of episodes unrelated to my normal news and politics content! 

Do you love JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit, but have been intimidated by the Silmarillion? Then this is your series! I love the Silmarillion and I simplify it for you here without losing the core of its multiple stories.

In Part 1, we cover the creation of the universe and the original rebel - Melkor - and then go through some of the major 'gods' of Tolkien's world, all of which is setting us up for the epic and tragic mythology that follows.
