Join Alan and Shawn and an all-star panel of guests in an episode recorded live at PPP Moot 2022! Matt from Nerd of the Rings, Luke Shelton from The Tolkien Experience Podcast, and Corey Olsen, the Tolkien Professor, all join our hosts on stage to talk about their favorite moments from the legendarium that reflect perseverance, boldness, and courage in the face of impossible odds and waning strength. Or, as we finally decided to call it, “incredible stubbornness”. ‘What-if’ scenarios, Viking invasions, and a mithranium sighting — all in this very special live episode!

Greetings, Allan & Shawn! I recently got introduced to your podcast thanks to Matt (aka Nerd of the Rings) and now I am on a PPP marathon, trying to listen to every single episode – currently making my way through The Hobbit. 🙂 Anyway, I wanted to thank you both for producing such a fantastic podcast packed with knowledge, humour and nerdery of all kinds. I happen to be a bit of a word nerd myself. 😉
Your love of Tolkien, your laughter and your sense of humour are totally infectious and I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the episodes (though it may take some time for me to catch up!).
All the best,
From a Tolkien-obsessed high school student

Ett panelsamtal om konferenstemat ”’As Our Might Lessens’: Perseverance, boldness, and courage in the face of impossible odds and waning strength” spelades in och kan avlyssnas här. […]
