The Tolkien Experience Podcast


The Tolkien Experience Podcast (TEP) is an attempt to bring the fan and scholarly communities together around our shared passion: the works of J.R.R. Tolkien! Each episode features a notable scholar or member of the fan community sharing their responses to the original Tolkien Experience Project questions.

The podcast is only possible because of our supporters and patrons. Please consider supporting the us on Patreon!

Since 2018, Luke Shelton's Tolkien Experience Project has been collecting stories from scholars and fans. Now, I have partnered with Dr. Sara Brown and Sarah Westvik to create the TEP!

The podcast is available from all of your favorite streaming services, including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and YouTube! Please subscribe and leave us feedback on your streaming service to help others find the podcast!

We also have an RSS Feed available, if you would like to use your own podcast player!

We are also on social media! You can find our official podcast accounts on Facebook and Twitter, and also follow the hosts on Twitter: Sara Brown, Sarah Westvik, and Luke Shelton.

For this week's episode of the Tolkien Experience Podcast, I am very excited to share our interview with the creator of Diverse Tolkien!

While she does not want me to use her name, the creator of Diverse Tolkien can be found on Twitter and Tumblr where she focuses on discussing anti-blackness in Tolkien's work and in the fan community. She wanted me to let you know about her exciting event: Diverse Tolkien Week! This event will be on Twitter and Tumblr during the last week of February. Please listen to the episode to find out more and join in the event later this month!
