About The Lorehounds
Back in early 2022, David approached John about an audio project about Tolkien and The Rings of Power. Like lightning in a bottle, within a week they had a theme song, show art, and outlines. The Lorehounds published their first few months of podcasts under the Bald Move Network before creating their own independent podcast network.
Since then, The Lorehounds have expanded beyond covering Tolkien. While they keep Tolkien on the mic with their monthly Silmarillion Stories, The Lorehounds have provided full recaps and analysis of a wide variety of shows from franchises such as Star Wars to True Detective.
In 2024, Elysia, already a successful podcaster and network affiliate, joined as a full-fledged Lorehound. The Lorehounds Triarchy will continue being your guides to great TV, video games, books, movies, and more.
From Science Fiction to Prestige Dramas

Ap podcast you don’t want to miss
This podcast does a fantastic job of diving deeper into the (sometimes confusing) star wars timeline and canon. Extremely entertaining, insightful, and a must-listen for star wars fans!
Enjoyable Interchange!
I really liked this podcast. The guys are like buds talking about something they know a lot about and excitedly sharing what they know with a good friend. I liked it. Really good job.
