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.

Good listen
Nice to have podcasts that discuss the books. I loved the books and I’m still learning more. Thank you for good coverage. I’d love more podcasts.
Fascinating ritual perspectives
Ritual serves as a lens through which the Rings of Power tv show can be viewed, resulting in thought provoking commentary and insightful realizations. The conversation also illuminates connections between the Amazon series and Tolkien’s written corpus which might otherwise have gone unnoticed. Changes are not necessari...

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.
