By-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienIt Seems Like It Sucks Up ThereJared, Oriana and Ned discuss Ned’s choice of topic: Arnor and Angmar. Only half-referenced in the Jackson adaptations, the long-gone realms of Arnor and Angmar don’t have much place in the original Lord of the Rings text itself – in fact, Tolkien didn’t fully introduce either of them by time and set a firm sense of what exactly they were until much later in the overall revision process, including the development of the appendices. Arnor was the northern equivalent of Gondor, a realm in exile founded by Númenor’s refugees, but one that slowly fractured and then faded...2025-07-0753 minRiriro.com - Short StoriesRiriro.com - Short StoriesHow The Child Of The Sea Was Made Knight | Folk TalesThe story recounts the journey of King Lisuarte, who becomes the king of Great Britain after his brother's death, and his young daughter, Oriana, who is left in Scotland due to her seasickness while traveling. In Scotland, a young boy known as the Child of the Sea serves the queen and later becomes devoted to Oriana. Despite their mutual yet unspoken love, the Child of the Sea aspires to become a knight to prove his worth and win Oriana’s esteem. With encouragement from Oriana and the help of her cousin Mabilia, he petitions King Perion to knight him, who fu...2025-07-0414 minBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienYou’re Always Left On Read by Manwë!Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Oriana’s choice of topic: monarchy, through the lens of Aragorn as king. It’s an interesting tension throughout Tolkien’s legendarium that while his foundational stories of Middle-earth have kings and queens, princes and other ruling monarchs at the core of organized societies, whether men, elves or dwarves, his ideal society of the Shire lacks them entirely. Further, as king, Aragorn not only honors their desire for relative isolation but even forbids himself from entering as the ruling monarch from the line that granted the land to the hobbits to start with. It’s equall...2025-05-0557 minBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienDon’t Misgender the Eagle!Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Ned’s choice of topic: the 1981 BBC radio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. It wasn’t the first time through when it came to a radio version of The Lord of the Rings, even on the BBC itself, but Brian Sibley’s magisterial 13 hour version of the book became the most acclaimed adaptation in general of Tolkien’s work until Peter Jackson’s film sequence, and it remains for many both a generational marker and a gold standard for translating the text into another medium. Performances by the likes of Ian Holm, Michael Ho...2025-04-071h 19By-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienThis Is Not a Political PodcastJared, Oriana and Ned discuss Oriana’s choice of topic: despair and hope. It is a remarkably stupid and cruel time in the world lately, for reasons we need not spell out. (And indeed in the week since we recorded this episode, it has somehow gotten worse.) So granted our mood hangs heavy, but then again, as Tolkien himself said in one of his letters, he was conditioned by the idea of ‘the long defeat’ in his own Catholic perspective from the start. Despair is certainly something Tolkien had a sense of how to portray, whether via Gandalf’s famed de...2025-02-0353 minBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienIt Was Like a Looney Tunes Ham!Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Ned’s choice of topic: The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. Announced three-and-a-half years ago as a fast-tracked theatrical production by Warner Bros., the Kenji Kamiyama-directed anime film resulted from a combination of factors: a desire by the studio to maintain certain rights building off their release of the Peter Jackson-directed theatrical films, an interest in working in the increasingly familiar and popular world of anime well outside of its Japanese origins and the participation of Phillippa Boyens and others from the original Lord of the Rings theatrical trilogy.

As personified most clearly by three key members of its royal family – the elderly but reenergized king Théoden, his passionate, driven niece Éowyn and his equally loyal and fearless nephew Éomer – the people of Rohan come across in The Lord of the Rings as a noble people, proud but warm-hearted, willing allies to both surviving members of the Fellowship after its breaking and to their long-time geopolitical partner Gondor, whose Stewards long ago gave the land that became their kingdom to them. Yet more than once in the na...2024-05-0652 minBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R. TolkienTolkien Dropping BarsJared, Oriana and Ned discuss Jared’s choice of topic: Beowulf. The famed Old English poem, the longest extant poetic work in general preserved in that language, almost accidentally survived over the years until it became more widely recognized in the 1700s, including surviving a fire. It has since become a cornerstone of studies of English literature, telling the story of a heroic Geat warrior who defeats two monstrous presences on a visit to an afflicted Danish kingdom, and who in later years as an aging king slays a dragon at the cost of his life and, it is st...2024-03-041h 00All\'Ora di Amadeus PodcastAll'Ora di Amadeus PodcastMarco Corrao - 2100 il Futuro Prossimo Venturo“2100” è il nuovo singolo di Marco Corrao, cantautore siciliano con alle spalle tour internazionali in USA, Svezia, Danimarca Inghilterra e collaborazioni, tra gli altri, con Eugenio Finardi, Moni Ovadia, Jono Manson, Bocephus King, Delta Moon, Michele Gazich.

It’s been twenty years since the conclusion of Jackson’s three-film effort to adapt the entire Lord of the Rings was released, and it was easily the biggest profile release of the series, coming in with massive interest and attention, setting a variety of box office records in the process along with gaining widespread critical acclaim.

To say that there was almost immediate speculation about whether or when Jackson would also adapt The Hobbit following the smash critical and commercial success of his Lord of the Rings films is to understate; over the following years there were further lawsuits, broken agreements, studio questions, planned directorial choices that mysteriously fell through and more besides that seemed to indicate it would be the biggest case...2023-05-011h 06By-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R.

When Rankin-Bass’s 1977 adaptation of The Hobbit was shown on American network TV, the animation studio was already well into planning a further effort adapting The Lord of the Rings in some form as a sequel; the positive attention and ratings success of their Hobbit doubtless made them think they were on the right track.

As a literal citizen of the British Empire at birth in a colonial holding of what would eventually become South Africa, Tolkien’s life was directly shaped by both the seeming omnipresence of empire and its simultaneous retreat and reshaping over the course of his life.

Briefly featuring in The Return of the King as a leader of ‘Wild Men’ who offers to help the Rohirrim on their ride to Minas Tirith, Ghân-buri-Ghân is on the surface seemingly little more than a caricature on several levels: a stoic ‘tribesman,’ perhaps even a noble savage with all that implies. But in both his sharp, sometimes very darkly sardonic responses to the Rohirrim and in the further backstory that Tolkien then created for Ghân-buri-Ghân’s culture as a whole, Tolkien explores some very...2019-10-2255 minBy-The-Bywater: A Podcast about All Things J.R.R.
