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.

What the people say about us
OMG!
This group of people are hilarious and my kind of folk. It’s like being in a room with family and friends. Each personality and prospective is necessary to make this podcast work. I too wonder about AIRBAGS, POLAR BEARS, and CRABS IN A BARREL.
By Far the Best of the Silo Podcasts
I found Elysia and Luke after listening to another Silo podcast that wasn’t that satisfying. I have since listened to every one I could find and Wool-Shift-Dust is my favorite. Elysia puts in so much work preparing for each episode. Luke’s political and military insights are great. This is the first time I’ve ever com...

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!
