The Fëanor piñata takes some more hits as The Man of the West welcomes Don Marshall, the Obscure Lord of the Rings Facts Guy, to the Prancing Pony Podcast just in time to answer some really obscure questions! From Narya's chain-of-custody to Goldberry growing tired of trochaic tetrameter, our listeners do their best to trip us up.

The Tolkien Professor joins us to discuss a book 18 years in the making, and Alan invites KnewBetta back even after their Gandalf v. The Witch-king debate. On a serious note, this episode comes with a content warning: suicide is discussed at length.

Eagles, Gorcrows, and Crebain…oh my! Throughout the works of J.R.R Tolkien, including Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Fall of Gondolin, The Simarillion, and Beren and Luthien, birds feature prominently.  Some, like the Eagle, play a big role while other birds are more obscure. In this podcast episode, three life long friends and LOTR nerds discuss nearly every bird reference made in The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, Return of the Ring, and The Hobbit. They also explore birds throughout Tolkien's many other works. Using a mixture of books and movie depictions, your dorky hosts have a lot of laughs and raunchy jokes while discussing the feathered folk of Middle Earth and the Undying Lands. Whether you've only seen the movies or can fluently speak elvish this episode will keep you smiling and learning. Find out more about the Eagles ancestry and deeds, Ravens relationship with dwarves, bird spies of Sauron, and the majestic swans of Ulmo and their relationship to Galadriel. Also learn a deep cut about Tom Bombadil and Kingfishers, Aragorn's relationship with birds, and the possible meaning of the black swans. ..Also special shout outs to Podcasts that help pave the way for this episode including The Tolkien Road Podcast, The Prancing Pony Podcast, and The Lord of The Rings Minute Podcast. ..Intro Music By Ricky Pistone and Outro music by the Sidewalk Slammers.

The hobbits take a quick rest stop before the last leg of the journey down into Mordor, and in a moment of contemplation, Sam imparts some newfound wisdom about the nature of adventures and the stories that inspire us. But while he recaps the first season of the Prancing Pony Podcast, Gollum slips away unnoticed for some reason that can't be good. All this, plus we consider Frodo's pity towards Gollum as a parallel to Bilbo's, offer word-nerdery on “man” and “human”, and break down Samwise Gamgee's biggest mistake.

Be hasty to tune in as Alan and Shawn welcome Clifford Broadway to The Prancing Pony Podcast! Clifford (also known as Quickbeam) has been on staff at TheOneRing.net since 1999, nearly from the beginning. We catch up with him for a conversation about the history of TORn, his work co-writing and co-producing the documentary film Ringers: Lord of the Fans, and the enduring legacy of Peter Jackson's adaptations. Plus, a look ahead to Amazon Prime's The Rings of Power series and the changing face of Tolkien fandom.

Connor & Jon are joined by Alan Sisto and Shawn Marchese of The Prancing Pony Podcast to talk about the Middle Earth Masterpiece: The Return of the King. The four ponder the strange filmic history of The Lord of the Rings. Shawn and Alan use Tolkien's letter to Ackerman to evaluate whether Jackson did a good job of adapting the books. Connor gushes over the sound design and Jon's mind is changed on the ending of the film. WARNING: Major spoilers for The Lord of the Rings, minor spoilers for Star Wars: Episodes 6 & 9, Follow Alan & Shawn:Prancing Pony Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2VarjDoOdeWCYjCtLLdkSM?si=66def0323adb4571The Rings of Power Wrap-Up: https://open.spotify.com/show/6D6NcEveliOPgaimYYzJbI?si=4696ddd1b8614f41Website: https://theprancingponypodcast.comSocial Media:https://www.facebook.com/theprancingponypodcast/https://instagram.com/prancingponypod?utm_medium=copy_linkhttps://www.facebook.com/ringswrapup/https://instagram.com/ringswrapup?utm_medium=copy_link Link to Anything You Can Imagine: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/anything-you-can-imagine-ian-nathan/1126335643 Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featured Films mentioned in this episode:---------------------------------The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) | Dir.

Gondor 3/5: Faramir and Denethor. Today we hear a theme on the pan flute! We also get to learn about Faramir's quality.. from none other than the Man of the West! Alan Sisto!

Alan and Shawn welcome John Howe to the Prancing Pony Podcast! Over the past several decades John has established himself as one of the most enduringly popular Middle-earth artists, and his work has appeared in numerous books and calendars (including the Tolkien Calendar 2021), and earned him a role as a conceptual artist for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movies. We talk to him about artistic inspiration, capturing reality through fantasy, and his new not-a-how-to book, John Howe's Ultimate Fantasy Art Academy.

It's time for another live Q&A episode, this time with more questions than ever before heard on a single episode of the Prancing Pony Podcast! Join Alan and Shawn as we field questions on Entish names, thralldom in Valinor, the unbearable vagueness of Gandalf, and the powers of the Elven Rings. A conversation about the importance of refuge in Middle-earth stirs our hearts, and a thought-provoking question about Rivendell in the Fourth Age gets us into speculation mode. Plus, another chance to look back on PPP Moot 2021… and much, much more!

If you missed out on the PPP’s first-ever digital moot, here’s a chance to hear what you missed — or relive it, if you were there — in this episode recorded live during the second day of the moot! Alan and Shawn invited all attendees to join and ask any question, and they did… from fate and free will in Tolkien’s works (again), to underwater SPBMI, to the future of the podcast, and much, much more! There’s even a surprise question from a familiar guest who now holds the new record for most appearances on The Prancing Pony Podcast.

In this episode, we are reunited with Will, picking up from where we left him at the end of the Subtle Knife: with Lyra lost and in the company of two angels called Balthamos and Baruch.Join us as Amy damages Iain's ears, Iain explains his glorious artistic vision for Metatron's spear and we speculate about the Angel Alethiometer Switchboard system.------The chapter quote for this week is from this section of the Book of Job.Very high level information on the hierarchy of angels here.More on the delicious history of Kendal Mint cake here!Here is the great picture of Metatron as interpreted in Islam - as a great and powerful scribe angel.You can learn more about names of god in Judaism here - or more about Yahweh, El and the Canaan Late Bronze Age.We highly recommend The Prancing Pony Podcast to any Tolkien fans - one of our big inspirations for starting our own podcast journey!------Music by: Jaymen Persaud, performed by Claire Wickeswww.thedarkmaterialpodcast.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/darkmaterialpodcastTwitter: @darkmaterialpodInstagram: @thedarkmaterialpodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/thedarkmaterialpodcast
