    Silmarillion Readthrough 2026 » Episode 26 » Chapter 22 » Of Túrin Turambar (EP302 REVISITED)
    Jun 24 2026
    In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 22, “Of the Ruin of Doriath”
    After the devastating tragedies of Chapter 21, we get…more devastating tragedies! Chapter 22 picks up with Húrin, now old and worn out by Morgoth’s tortures. Set free to wander aimlessly in the wasted regions of Beleriand, he inadvertently sets in motion a series of events that will lead to end of the kingdom of Doriath, once the hidden heart of Beleriand’s free regions.

    The Fall of Númenor Pt 38 » The Third Age (A Brief Chronicle) (EP364 REVISITED)
    Jun 22 2026
    My new book, Tolkien's Tragedy, is now available for PRE-ORDER! Visit TolkiensTragedy.com to learn more!
    With Sauron having been defeated and disembodied at the end of the Second Age, and a time of peace settling in upon the free lands of Middle-earth, how do we arrive at the events of The Lord of the Rings, some 3,000 years later?
    The account we’ll be looking at in this episode is taken entirely from "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," and describes the major events that lead up to "A Long-Expected Party," and the forming of the Fellowship of the Ring.
