What is it Like Being a Tolkien Artist? An Interview with Graham Judd

Episode 60

Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 48:37

I had the good fortune to interview Graham Judd, the illustrator of The Flora of Middle Earth (a book he worked on with his father Walter Judd). We talk about how Graham developed his artistic style, Tolkien as an artist, the challenges of illustrating plants that don't exist in our world, and the upcoming 2nd edition oh his book! Be sure to check out his website!

Who are the Haradrim?

Episode 59

Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 33:33

They ride into battle on their great Mûmakil, their ships sail from their havens in Umbar, and their cavalry under the banner of the Black Snake wreaks havoc on the fields of the Pelennor. They are the Haradrim, Gondor's oldest and bitterest foes. But who are they, and why did they align themselves with Sauron in the days of his might? Find out all this and more on this week's episode!

We're cracking open the mailbag to answer your questions!

Tell Me All Your Thoughts On God: Who is Eru Ilúvatar?

Episode 56

Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 48:06

He is the creator of everything in Middle Earth, the Author of the Story, He whose words brought the world into being. No, I'm not talking about JRR Tolkien, I'm talking about Eru Ilúvatar, the monotheistic God of Arda, who created the Ainur and with them sang the Great Music that brought Eä into existence. Plus, we're revisiting a question from the very first episode of the show! Along the way we dive into the theology of Middle Earth, consult official philosopher of the show Peter to help us with some tricky metaphysics, and get to know the highest of Powers.

Is Lord of the Rings Sexist? An Interview with Dr. Sara Brown

Episode 54

Monday, July 27, 2026 • Duration 59:27

This week, I turn to Tolkien scholar Dr. Sara Brown to answer a question that critics of Tolkien's works have leveled at the Professor since the Lord of the Rings was first published: Given the relative lack of female characters in his stories, but taking into account their prominence and achievements in the narrative, is it fair to say that Lord of the Rings is sexist? We dive deep into that topic while also spending some time getting Dr. Brown's Hot Takes and Opinions! Plus: Updates on Rings of Power Season 3 from San Diego Comic Con and a new response to our question: Proudfoots or Proudfeet? It's all happening on this week's episode!
