So enjoy my thoughts on these episodes as I talk about the overall feel, the production design, as well as some high-level thoughts on the cast and characters.

Episode 44 - Season 2 Soundtrack Reaction (00:46:16)
Welcome to the forty-fourth episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast! Today's episode is a very rough and ready reaction to Bear McCreary's soundtrack album for Season 2, which was released at the end of last week. This will be a similar episode to the two-parter I did for the Season 1 album, in that it won't be a detailed analysis of the individual tracks and all the musical nuances contained within. However, I hope you enjoy my joyful and enthusiastic review of these 25 tracks.

Episode 43 - How to Siege Eregion with Sarah Westvik (03:10:58)
Welcome to the forty-third episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast! We're back with another special episode, as I am joined by Sarah Westvik for an unprecedented deep-dive into of the Siege of Eregion, comparing Tolkien's own limited account of the battle with what we know about how The Rings of Power is approaching the siege. Our discussion gets into the nitty gritty analysis of the books' account of the different faction's objectives and outcomes, before we use every frame from the show's trailers and promo to try and piece together how the siege will play out on screen.

Episode 42 - Final Trailer Discussion with Anna (03:41:26)
Welcome to the forty-second episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast! On August 14th the final trailer for Season 2 was released and to mark the occasion, I decided to host the first ever DailyRoP livestream on YouTube. I was joined as usual by Anna to discuss and analyse the trailer, with the added bonus of getting to interact with the viewers in the liver chat offering their own insights. As I know some of you don't use YouTube or instead prefer an audio-only format, I have put together the recording from the livestream as the latest episode. Please bear in mind this is not a tightly-edited episode like you're used to, but all the same for those who have been waiting for this, I hope you enjoy the discussion. The link to the YouTube recording of the livestream is in the show notes below.

Episode 41 - Soundtrack Speculation (00:39:50)
Welcome to the forty-first episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast! We're back for another solo episode as I take a look at the Season 2 Soundtrack Album announcement, and do some speculation about the 25 titles that were revealed on the album Today, we're analysing the titles themselves rather than the music yet to be released, and trying to work out what scenes, characters or thematic beats they might correspond to.

Episode 40 - Medieval Musings with Geo (02:57:21)
Welcome to the fortieth episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast! We're back today with a rather special episode, as it marks the return of the format where I invite guests on from the Tolkien community to come on and chat about a topic of their choosing. Today I am bringing you a conversation with my good friend Geo (@kingslayars), who is a font of knowledge when it comes to all things medieval literature. We spent a good 3 hours talking about all things Medieval, the influence of that time period on Tolkien's work, and how The Rings of Power has continued to draw upon Medieval tales and ideas. We cover everything from the role of oaths, to the significance of swords, and the place of rings in the tradition of gift giving. On top of that, we also touch on some of the Medieval influences we see in The Rings of Power's costumer, set, and prop design.

Episode 39 - SDCC Trailer Breakdown with Anna (04:18:16)
Welcome to the thirty-ninth episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast! San Diego Comic-Con arrived, and with it came the best trailer we have ever seen for The Rings of Power. Nearly 4 minutes long and every second of it filled with incredible scenes to pour over and analyse. And the DailyRoP podcast is up to the task, as Anna and I breakdown every single line, every single shot in the trailer! Come for the detailed analysis and stick around for the usual nonsense stories of my obsession with rocks, fans getting caught thirsting by an actor's father, and Anna barking at Elendil.

Welcome to the thirty-fourth episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast! We're finally back to begin our coverage for Season 2, as I'm joined by the ever wonderful Anna. With the first teaser trailer for Season 2 only weeks away, Anna and I spent three hours discussing our hopes, expectations and fears for this upcoming season.

Episode 33 - Interview with Alex Disenhof (01:01:58)
Welcome to the thirty-third episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast! We're back for a surprise episode to end the year, as we have our first ever interview with one of the crew from The Rings of Power! Alex Disenhof is the cinematographer for Episodes 6 & 7 of Season 1, and returned to the show as Lead Cinematographer for Season 2. My conversation with Alex covers everything from his own journey watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy in the cinema, to joining the production of The Rings of Power, and everything that went into making such an epic season of television. We also cover some previously unanswered questions about Season 1 and see if we can't get any hints about the next season!

Welcome to the thirty-second episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast! The podcast is back again... for a second return from the dead! This episode is slightly different than our usual format as I dive into a comparison between Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and Tolkien's legendarium, taking aim at the theme of creators and their creations. We explore what parallels exist between Nolan's depiction of Oppenheimer and Tolkien's own mythical creators, seeing where they fit the Promethean model, and how all creators lose control over their creations. I hope you enjoy this diversion from our usual format, but we'll back in the future with our usual analysis of The Rings of Power as we look ahead to Season 2!
