So much respect for Matt and absolutely love how much effort he puts toward his content. Truly made me love the world of Tolkien.

I am a big fan of the YouTube channel and watch every episode. On a long drive I decided to check out the Podcast and the first one I chose was the JRD interview. John Rhys Davies is so interesting, his voice is so good it truly feels like Gimli. It gave me goosebumps and had me in my feels. I loved how genuine and complimentary he is of what Peter Jackson pulled off. And he also just has some amazing advice and some special things I'm not going to spoil that I know you will love because you love the books like I do.

I’m such a fan of the YouTube channel and was delighted to find the companion podcast. It does not disappoint.

Listened to the more recent episodes after taking a break to listen to other LOTR lore-casts. This pod was one of my favorites but after the Maxim Baldry and Lloyd Owens episode, I can see their obsession of the characters in the stitched together in script, instead of learning Tolkien’s character. No true, versed Tolkien fan enjoyed Rings of Power with the mind to see these stories played out and was extremely frustrating to see. On top of this I just see Amazon trying to pander to LOTR fans who listen with the intent to learn more about Tolkien by getting on this cast, but all I heard personally was “me me me me” from Maxim.

It’s quite interesting that this show is about talking with actors, but I only give it four stars Because I think that something is missing it you barely updated it much

Excellent production. Well thought out. Enjoyable and fun. Something for everyone.

Love the YouTube channel and this podcast. I only wish the podcasts were more frequent.

Matt has been my go-to guy for all things LoTR on YouTube and now he has a podcast. How cool is that! Fascinating interviews with lots of behind the scenes extras. This is not just another podcast going thru the books page by page analyzing every detail to be found. Don’t get me wrong, some of those podcast are great too, but this podcast is for fans (or geeks) that want more.

Truly incredible. As a reader of the books, I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. It provides a accurate and on occasion comedic outlook on questions that many LOTR watchers may have. Keep up the good work!!

Nerd of the Rings is as good as it gets! Enjoy these quality and entertaining conversations between NOTR and his various guests about all things Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings. While you’re at it, if you haven’t seen his full YouTube channel, you need to go and check it out!

Been following NOTR on YouTube for a bit and so happy he now has an official podcast channel!! His stuff is always amazing and he’s quite knowledgeable on the subject of Tolkien. Keep up the great work Matt!
