Episode 122 - Tolkien Mysteries 3 (Halloween Special 2025)

Keep on Tolkien is a podcast that takes you on a sarcastic and passionate journey through the Tolkien Legendarium. Our aim is to provide quality information about Tolkien lore while keeping a fun-loving and casual atmosphere. It's like hanging out with your buddies...if your buddies were three foul-mouthed nerds with a rather unhealthy obsession with how terrible the hobbit movies are.

Have questions, comments, or suggestions? Shoot us a message on your favorite social media site!

We want to hear from you!
