I see fire - The hobbit Remix

This week we begin the end of our series on the Three Great Tales Of The Elder Days with our first of five episodes covering The Tale Of The Fall Of Gondolin! This is the last of the Three Great Tales, and Tolkien's epic story of hope among destruction. It is remembered and referenced multiple times throughout the legendarium, including in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. This Tale is also significant because it is the first Middle-Earth story J.R.R. Tolkien ever wrote! Tune in as we begin by covering the Canon version of The Fall of Gondolin as found in The Unfinished Tales!

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.

Sarah Ifft Decker, a medieval historian, explores how movies, tv, and books depict the medieval world. What did they get right? What did they get wrong? And what do they tell us about how modern people think about the medieval past?
