Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of Season 2 comes the breaking of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Do not weep; for not all tears are an evil!  We are back again later with another episode where we recap our favourite bits of the Fellowship. For this episode though, expect chats about Saurons binoculars, floating oars and drowning, as well as a new concept to the pod: "What If" questions! (This starts around 40mins in, after our discussion about the chapter so you can skip the waffle if you aren't arsed listening to 30 more minutes of hot takes!)   Bonus Paddys Day Rel ..read more

Expect our usual hot takes, this time about logs with eyes, pod-racing dragons and floating heads. We revel in our own boat stories at the end of the episode so join in and let us know your own river stories on our socials   If you could be so kind as to review and share the pod, wherever you can, that would be awesome! Hope you enjoy this episode! Drunk Tolk - A Lord of the Rings Read Along Podcast You can also check us out on the socials here : Twitter, Instagram, Patreon, Apple Podcasts, etc etc ..read more

As the title states, we actually lost part of this episode so we can't publish it without it making no sense to the listener! We have decided to skip this chapter and move onto Chapter 20 as there isn't really anything we can do about it now without rerecording it... which is...effort! (and you would lose the pizazz of the original take!)  Feel free to get in touch and voice your disgust at us! Let us know what you would've liked to hear our opinion on in this chapter..maybe we can do a little yoke later on down the line to fill this awful gap!   You can keep up to datealso check us ..read more

Disclaimer: If you are confused as to why Chapter 20 is out before 19, please note that we lost part of Chapter 19! Explanation coming soon! So we couldn't release it unfortunately so we just have to skip it if we want to finish this book!  In chapter 20 we discuss how Celeborn plays second fiddle to Galadriel, the Fellowships indecisiveness, how Gimli is no regular dwarf,  Galadriel and her magic pedalo, her gifts to the lads, elven magic, warebears and amazing river names.    If you could be so kind as to review the pod, wherever you can, that would be awesome!

We had to split this one into 2 parts because there's too much meat on them bones! We followed the same structure as Tolkien for this one so we have discussed each council member (and their history) as they stand up to speak at the council. Specifically, the dwarves and elves and their history, Isildur's actions and motives, Boromirs dream, Aragorns poem and Sarumans Technicolour coat!    You can also check us out here: Twitter, Instagram, Patreon, Apple Podcasts, etc etc ..read more

We chat about the Fellowship, how Pippens a gowl, Bill the pony's nameday, how to close toilet doors, marching orders, demon-mountains, meth-juice, how elves are cheating, Middle Earth climates and the usual outrageous hot takes.   Drunk Tolk - A Lord of the Rings Podcast You can also check us out here: Twitter, Instagram, Patreon, Apple Podcasts, etc etc ..read more

AKA Book 2 Chapter 4 - A Journey in the Dark Life imitates art in this episode; We take our own journey in the dark in this episode as our own glorious leader Ross is nowhere to be seen! Join us as the stalwarts Eoin "The General" Duffy and Oisin "the posh brother" Pryle leave Bill the Pony and lead Seán the Bull through the Mines of Moria. As always, we chat about iconic moments that made it to the film (and the ones that didn't).  Some important discussions this week; Gandalf is a rage-quiting arsonist with a possible drug problem, likely induced by everyone telling him he might die soo ..read more

We take a trip into Lothlórien theme park, blindfolded and belligerent We delve into the forest and Tolkiens amazing legendarium including his amazing creation of several elven languages. However, it wouldn’t be a Drunk Tolk episode without outrageous questions so on this episode we ask; What was Gimli’s job in his hometown? How does Gollum walk and did the movies get it wrong? What can’t Galadriel do Is Celeborn her Galadrielad? And are her elves trapped on all sides or just self-isolating (like Ross)?   Credits: Celtic Impulse Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Comm ..read more

We are back for Season 2 of Drunk Tolk! (This is chapter 1 of Book 2 of the Fellowship of the Ring but for continuation reasons we are calling it Chapter 13) In this chapter we discuss Frodo being a sturdy beast of a chap, Sam and Frodos relationship, the many many meetings with some great new characters, and the origins of "good read". Prepare for lots and lots of exposition but janey mac, it's good gear!   You can also check us out here: Twitter, Instagram, Patreon, Apple Podcasts, etc etc ..read more

We fit quite a bit into part 2 of this chapter! We discuss Gandalf, his story about Gollums imprisonment and his sketchy chat with Saruman. We also delve into a hot take about who is really handing out dodgy new rings, rocket-horses, keeping secrets, Bilbos addiction and recovery, why Tom Bombadil wasn't included in the Council, Greta Thunberg aaaaand Boromirs great horn.  You can also check us out here: Twitter, Instagram, Patreon, Apple Podcasts, etc etc ..read more
