    Banger
    A podcast for True Sons of Gondor by a True Son of Gondor. No need to learn the meaning of haste when listening to this podcast. 10/10 banger

    Very Good
    I am only a few episodes in, but I love taking the time to really dig into the meat of the books to understand what is truly being said. As a Tolkien fan I have read The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, The Children of Hurin, Beren and Luthien, and am currently in The Fall of Gondolin.

    Fantastic content, highly recommend!
    Incredibly enjoyable to listen to, great content, and super knowledgeable. You can tell there is solid research behind each episode. If you’re a Tolkien fan, you will love this podcast. It’s very informative without the extra fluff podcast banter - it’s all content, love it!

    Let’s leave the Christian morality out of it.
    Evan does “kill it” … except when he uses Tolkien as a foil for his own Christian conservatism. Then, for brief periods, he gets preachy, to me, and makes Tolkien advocate a particularly modern Christian morality, strongly dualistic in nature, otherworldly, one that assumes there’s an easy, uncritical connection between Tolkien’s fantastic and very layered literature themes and some vague and undefined godlessness in today’s world. Instead, Evan, please keep some things quiet. I, an ordained Christian minister, do not need, or want, a Tolkien Sunday School class. Let Tolkien speak through you, and not you through Tolkien, please.

    Killing it
    Followed you here from your Twitter threads. Just amazing. I haven’t read the books, so your deep dives, without over killing it, have been amazing. Keep up the good work. I really hope the amazon series is good but even if they’re not, I know we’ll have you to tell us the true lore and background.
