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.

Is LANTERNS Worth Watching (plus another ridiculous debate)
The fellas are back with a new show. HBO's Lanterns Season 1 Episode 1 is on the chopping block, with special guest star David Erickson from The Lorehounds. Is the show as good as the comics? How close is it to the comics? And how many times can Ron put his foot in his mouth in one episode? All ...

What the people say about us
Great recap and analysis
Recently had a second child so have been half falling asleep during some episodes of Silo. This is great to help fill in the blanks. A lot of research into every podcast and appreciate that the hosts while clearly fans of the show are also objective about a show that I like, despite its flaws!
Really want to love this pod
Been listening since the beginning when they started ROP on Bald Move. Some of the hosts have become really annoying. David is too pretentious and talks too much about how podcasting interferes with his life. Stop podcasting if that’s the problem. Eleysia gets so upsets when anyone/anything disagrees with her point of ...

How does one host say the character’s names exactly how the show says them, and the other mispronounce ALL of them? I know they hear each other 😂. But it’s fine. The pod is fine.
