Who is Tom Bombadil? This is a topic we’ve covered several times on the Tolkien Road, but it’s an undying enigma for Lord of the Rings fans, and we’re always hungry for new insights into the mysterious nature of The Old Forest’s Master.With the inclusion of Tom Bombadil in Season 2 of The Rings of Power, we're in a Tommy kind of mood, and will be revisiting a few episodes we've done on the engimatic fellow over the next week or so.Today, it's an interview from back in 2022 with CR Wiley, author of the book In the House of Tom Bombadil.View the show notes and video here: https://www.tolkienroad.com/0275-in-the-house-of-tom-bombadil-c-r-wiley-interview/Pick up a copy of the book here: https://amzn.to/3tO3LhMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.

Hey there, Fellowship!We interrupt your week to revisit this bonus episode from a few years back called "The Rings of Power » Why the Details of Middle-earth Matter". It came out a few months before The Rings of Power Season 1 debuted. In it, I offered my thoughts on the controversies surround the show, and, well, I think they probably still apply today, with the arrival of Season 2.So sit back and enjoy this episode of The Tolkien Road Revisited!Video and original notes can be found here: https://youtu.be/NClozGJUbmcBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
