Introducing Prancing Pony Ponderings!

Beloved listeners – we hope you are as excited as we are to hear about the debut of a new section of our website: Prancing Pony Ponderings!

Before Alan and Shawn embarked upon the Prancing Pony Podcast, we were discussing our ideas in a Facebook group through short essays focused on specific themes in Tolkien’s work as illustrated in favorite passages from the books. We’ve always wanted to take this idea to the next level, and now we’ve decided to do just that.

New podcast episodes are released every other week, so follow this blog and our social media feeds to catch Prancing Pony Ponderings on the weekends between episodes! The first essay is by our Man of the West, Alan Sisto, and will be released this Sunday, October 2.
