One Episode to Rule Them All!!! Having completed a chapter-by-chapter walkthrough of The Silmarillion (which spans over 30 hours of content), we decided to do an episode where we cover the whole of The Silmarillion in less than an hour. With this one episode, you get the whole enchilada, from "Ainulindalë" to "Eärendil" to the end of the Third Age. If you've always wanted to read The Silmarillion but have never succeeded, then this is the episode for you! You can also find some helpful resources for The Silmarillion at TrueMyths.org/Silm.    Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
