There's a podcast done by a well known Tolkien nerd in which he reads The Silmarillion and explains it along the way. I've been slowly making my way through it while driving to work and falling asleep.

My goodness, falling asleep while you drive is dangerous!

Well I always wake up where I'm meant to be. When that stops happening I'll stop doing it.

You can't introduce that without name dropping! I need a good long nerd fix

Sorry! The name of the podcast on Spotify is simply, "reading and explaining the Silmarillion".

Please share the podcast name! That sounds like something I'd enjoy.
