Nov 11, 2022

For this episode, we were honored to welcome a very influential figure in the Tolkien fandom: Brian Sibley!

Brian is the recipient of the Tolkien Society's award for Outstanding Contribution in 2022. He is an honorary member of the society, and is perhaps best known to the Tolkien community because of the radio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings he created for the BBC. His newest project The Fall of Númenor is a book that pulls together Tolkien's writings about the island civilization and promises to be an insightful and essential text! We hope you enjoy the interview!
