Show overview
Mythgard's Exploring The Lord of the Rings has been publishing since 2017, and across the 9 years since has built a catalogue of 380 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 810 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 50m and 2h 26m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Arts show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 months ago, with 21 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Mythgard Institute.
