A book launch review and the hippy Hobbity backstory on a one-of-a-kind shoe store.

Good news, Lord Of The Rings fans! The Rings Of Power is / are finally here, with Amazon Prime Video's megabudget adaptation of the events of the Second Age of Middle-earth now streaming - well, the first episodes, anyway. As a LOTR fan who has even travelled to New Zealand to 'climb Mount Doom' (aka 'walk the Tongariro Crossing'), Ali was ready and able and very much willing to speak to some of the cast of this new Hobbity adventure, including our new Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and our new Elrond (Robert Aramayo) and, as they say, many more. So, with every attempt made to avoid spoilers, here's a moderately silly conversation with close to a dozen Tolkienistas, recording just days ago in London - note Lindon, to be clear.

Rings of power, czyli Władca Pierścieni od Amazon Prime - Galadriel, Hobbity i Baldurs Gate. Wspominam premiery filmów z 2002 i komentuję zapowiedzi nowego serialu.

Rzucamy okiem na systemy RPG by wiedzieć, czy warto się nimi interesować. W tym odcinku... (THE ONE RING 2 edycja)---------- Nasze kanały YouTube ----------

Przystroiwszy mikrofon bombkami i kolorowym łańcuchem, z gorącym napojem w ręku siadamy, by powspominać najlepsze z planszowych doświadczeń mijającego roku, polecając garść tytułów idealnych na gwiazdkowe prezenty. Innymi słowy czas na „Świąteczny poradnik prezentowy Pełnej Pary – Edycja 2020”.

Led Zeppelin's 4th album was released in November 1971. Housed in an anonymous sleeve, with no band name and no album title, the record company feared that it was commercial suicide. The idiots. It became the band's best-selling album. Why? The team consider hype, black magic, stairways to heaven, hippy-Hobbity shit and more.

So if you’re listening to this right now in the Long Lent of 2020, we are currently in the midst of a pandemic due to the coronavirus! I hope if you’re listening at some point in the future that things have settled down and everything is just fine and we’ve put this whole thing far, far behind us…But right now, we’re all struggling. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been affected by this.On top of worrying about the actual virus, many of us are also experiencing a sudden loss of income, a dramatic change in our daily routine, some of you I know have been alone in your apartment for weeks and are having a difficult time adjusting to simply being alone all the time. You need a hug. I hope this can be like a virtual hug in whatever way that’s possible.Healthcare workers like my husband and many of our friends are working extra hours under higher stress, and many others are navigating working from home… It’s just all around very stressful for everyone in a lot of different ways.I wanted to share this episode with our current situation in mind but I think it will be useful for any time you find yourself having to stay at home for long periods of time, or honestly whenever you need a little encouragement or inspiration to be a bit more Hobbity.I also wanted to say that staying home, social distancing, self-quarantine… whatever you call it… would naturally be very difficult for Hobbits as they loved spending time with each other, throwing parties, gathering at the pub to gossip about Bilbo and Frodo… and it’s okay that it’s hard for us too.We were created to live in fellowship and we are being asked to make this sacrifice for the time being, and I just wanted to acknowledge that it’s okay if you’re struggling with this. That being said, I hope sharing these ideas will help you feel a little inspired and cheered up and ready to choose well what to do with this time that’s been given to you.Read | This one might seem obvious, but log out of Netflix and pick up a book! Scrolling through twitter for 14 hours a day is not good for you, ask me how I know. Obviously I’m going to recommend reading Tolkien. If you haven’t read The Lord of the Rings yet, now’s your chance. And if you have but you haven’t read The Silmarillion, do it! If you’ll be ordering books online, check if any of your local bookstores offer online shopping, or try getting it straight from the publisher if possible. Smaller businesses are hurting right now, so try to support them if you can.If you need any other book recommendations, visit teawithtolkien.com/bookshelf for all of my book reviews and my to-be-read list. Many of them are available on the Kindle, so you don’t have to worry about going to a bookstore or ordering anything online.Go Outside | I can’t help but imagine a bunch of hobbits sitting on their front porches yelling to one another about potatoes and cabbages. If you have a porch, so sit on it! In whatever way you’re able, even if it’s just opening a window and breathing a little fresh air -- DO IT. I try to take a walk everyday with the kids and it helps so much. So if you’re able to take a walk, take a walk. If you can’t go outside at all, open your windows and let the sunshine in.Pray | Tolkien recommended ‘making a habit of the praises’ in a letter to his son, especially in times of distress. He also wrote, “It is also a good and admirable thing to know by heart the Canon of the Mass, for you can say this in your heart if ever hard circumstances keep you from hearing Mass..." which feels very applicable as all public Masses in the US are currently suspended. The prayers Tolkien recommended can be found at www.teawithtolkien.com/blog/prayers.Be Creative | Spend some time sitting with your own thoughts and then create something! Pick up a notebook and journal, write poetry, paint, or draw. I’ve noticed a lot of artists I follow on Instagram have been teaching mini courses in their instagram stories, and there is an abundance of free information on YouTube as well. Doing something creative can help relieve the stress you’re feeling so I really do recommend giving it a try even if you don’t feel like a “creative” person.Write a Letter | Tolkien writes in the prologue to The Lord of the Rings, “By no means all Hobbits were lettered, but those who were wrote constantly to all their friends (and a selection of their relations) who lived further off than an afternoon’s walk.” Following their example, write a few letters to a few of your friends (and maybe just one to a relative).Cook | With more time at home and many restaurants and delivery services closed, now is the perfect time to learn your way around a kitchen if you don’t already. I know this is tricky because a lot of grocery stores are out of pantry staples like flour and such, but this is another opportunity to be creative. I’ll link to a few Hobbit-inspired food blog posts in the show notes: Food of the Shire, What Hobbits Like to Eat, The Feast Goes on and Ever On, and 7 Shire-Worthy Recipes for National Hobbit Day.)Bake Lembas |If you’re able to get your hands on a few cups of flour, bake a batch of Lembas! I have my own recipe on my blog -- you can find it by searching “Tea with Tolkien Lembas” But maybe just half a batch for now since it does make quite a bit.Become a Gardener | Depending on where you live, it may or may not be time to start planting! If it’s still a bit early, now is a good time to do your research and make your plans for your garden. Even if you don’t have a yard, you can start a little herb garden on your windowsill.Donate Items | While I won’t be dropping off my donations for at least a few weeks, I’ve started going through different areas of the house and bagging up items we don’t use or need anymore. I’m keeping all the bags in the basement until we can go drop them off later. Also, if you do have an excess of any items that people might be needing right now (like, I don’t know, TOILET PAPER?), donate those right away!Sit Beside the Fire and Think | Whether you light a big fire in your fireplace or simply light a few candles, take some time out of whatever else it is you’re doing (scrolling twitter and stressing out?) and read, think, pray, or write in the relaxing, warm glow of the firelight.Do something inconvenient for the sake of another | This really is at the heart of what it means to be a Hobbit. Throughout all of their tales, Hobbits go out of their way to support and care for one another. If you have an elderly neighbor or know someone who is struggling right now, ask them how you can help. And while you’re at it, call your grandparents!Obviously I’m not going to solve all of the world's problems with a podcast episode but I hope this brightened up your day and kinda helped get you thinking about ways to spend your time while stuck at home.If you liked these ideas, I wanted to recommend my eBook, Thirty Days in the Shire! It’s only $6 and serves as a guide for becoming more of a Hobbit at Heart over the next thirty days. You can learn more and order your copy at teawithtolkien.com/30days if you’re ready to slow down, simplify, and grow!Anyways, I’m so happy to be back talking to you all! I hope to have more episodes out for you soon, and if there’s anything you’d like to hear about please feel free to let me know on twitter or instagram @teawithtolkien. Have a lovely day!

Oh boy, our heroes had to record this one late at night, after recording another episode, and their brains were fried. So if you like that kind of Bookening, this is The Bookening for you. But we got in some good talk about Mirkwood, the power of forests and woods, Smaug the dragon, how to make a good villain, and other Hobbity things. Next week, we'll finally get to Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. By the way, Nathan says something confusing about episode order at the end of the episode. What he means is not that Sense and Sensibility Part 2 is coming up next (skipping Part 1). But that we recorded out of order, so Part 2 will contain more compliments. If that makes sense. Support us here! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

O! To się nazywa twórcze rozwinięcie pierwotnego pomysłu. Sporo czasu temu rozmawialiśmy sobie o opartej na mechanice domino grze Sapiens. Okazało się, że autor nie stwierdził, że temat się dla niego wyczerpał i przysiadł nad projektem na dłużej. Co z tego wyszło? Zapraszamy do słuchania.

BONUS EPISODE-- Instead of poisoning a regular episode with discussions of Game of Thrones and its finale, we decided to pare it off as its own episode! Despite our tone, we rather liked the whole series, warts and all! Follow James on Twitter @kislingtwits and on Instagram @kislingwhatsit or on gildedterror.blogspot.com.

Released in consecutive Decembers beginning in 2001, Peter Jackson’s colossal adaptation of Tolkien’s LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy reached its conclusion in 2003 with "The Return of the King" which went on to win 11 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. Despite enjoying the first installment just fine, Adam never made time for "Two Towers" or "Return," which didn't stop him from spending much of the last fifteen years taking digs at the films and the people who loved them (people like Josh). But with 2019's Filmspotting Madness (Best of the 2000s) on the horizon - just past the Misty Mountains, in fact - Adam agreed to knock out his Hobbity blindspots with an epic (re)consideration of the trilogy in which he and Josh discuss the horror elements in the trilogy, the care with which Jackson depicts the cost of war and the greatness of Ian McKellen (and the rest of the brilliantly cast ensemble). Plus a Top 5 Scenes from the trilogy that illustrates how Jackson, in bringing the trilogy to life, was just as attentive to the subtle, quiet moments as he was the epic battle scenes. 0:00-2:32 - Intro 3:08-41:51 - "The Lord of the Rings" Howard Shore, "The End of All Things" 44:07-51:32 - Next Week / Notes 51:32-59:43 - Polls (Best of  Brolin / Taking Over an Iconic Role) Howard Shore, "The Prophecy" 1:01:54-1:42:39 - Top 5: "Lord of the Rings" Scenes 1:42:39-1:46:55 - Close / Outtake         Learn more about your ad choices.

Dzisiaj grubsza sprawa. Taka tam gra, dzięki której mechanika worker placement stała się jedną z najpopularniejszych na rynku. To tak w skrócie. Po więcej szczegółów zapraszamy do odcinka.

Stało się. Przy różnych okazjach wspominaliśmy już od dłuższego czasu jaki to Nippon jest fajny, sprytny i sympatyczny. I w końcu udało nam się usiąść i nagrać odcinek ściśle poświęcony temu tytułowi. Dlaczego jedna z ostatnich gier wydawnictwa What’s Your Game nas urzekła? Zapraszamy do słuchania.

Zarządzanie dużą rodziną we współczesnej Polsce to ciężki kawałek chleba, nawet ze wszystkimi zdobyczami współczesnej techniki. Obstawiam więc, że zarządzanie wielkim rodem w renesansowych Włoszech musiało być jeszcze bardziej uciążliwe i męczące. Czy Signorie w udany sposób oddaje ten mozół? Zapraszamy do słuchania.

Po raz kolejny spotykamy się ze zjawiskiem podpinania nowej mechaniki pod sprawdzony tytuł. „Pokolenia zebrały swego czasu sporo pochwał i wyróżnień, szkoda by więc było, żeby taka marka się zmarnowała”, pomyślał wydawca i wykonał szybki telefon do autorów oryginału. Albo było zupełnie na odwrót, strzelam w ciemno. Tak czy siak: dziś recenzujemy Nowe Pokolenia. Zapraszamy […]

Mury dzielą. Wspólna praca łączy. A co stanie się, jeśli wspólną pracą będziemy budować mur?

Nasze poprzednie spotkanie z grą tego wydawnictwa zakończyło się traumą odciśniętą bezpowrotnie na psychice wszystkich obecnych przy stole. Czy teraz będzie podobnie? Wystarczy kliknąć i […]

Welcome to this week's super-professional well-researched spick-and-span highly-polished episode of the Failed Critics podcast! The main release review this week is Christopher Nolan's $165m space-time-travelling science fiction thriller Interstellar. A film so long, we extended our podcast an extra 15 minutes with the return of our Spoiler Alert section alongside our regular spoiler-free review. Despite that, there was even time for Owen to take in the first two (well, one and a half) Lord of the Rings films... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
