Show overview

The Green Door Podcast: All things Tolkien has been publishing since 2018, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 27 episodes. That works out to roughly 30 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 51 min and 1h 26m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Arts show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 5.9 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2018, with 14 episodes published. Published by The Green Door Podcast.

Ep 14Episode 12: Lightly Addicted

We are back in Rivendell this week in order to welcome another very special ringbearer into our fellowship. Please find a seat by our fire and pack your pipe because this episode is as twisty and turny as the road to the last Homely House. In this show, May, Ads and James all agree to agree that Manwë is both terrific and terrible. We look into and assess Bilbo's payment for burglary services rendered. And we take the risk and look into a seeing stone... Special thanks to Jeff (& Sebastian) LaSala from Tor.com *Check out his Silmarillion Primer series!!
