Why were the Great Eagles in War of the Rohirrim? Were these majestic creatures true to Tolkienâs lore, or was their presence an adaptation choice? In this episode, I answer listener Tiffanyâs intriguing question and dive into the use of Eagles in the film.
Weâll explore:
â What Tolkien wrote about the Eagles in The Hobbit and The Silmarillionâ How their role as messengers and divine servants aligns (or doesnât) with their portrayal in the movieâ Why Eagles arenât Middle-earthâs Uber and how their intervention serves a higher purposeYouâll also hear my take on whether their involvement in War of the Rohirrim captured the spirit of eucatastropheâTolkienâs sudden joyous turn of events.

If you love J.R.R. Tolkien, the Christmas season, or both, this episode is for you! Tolkien, a devout Catholic and master storyteller, wrote beautifully about Christmas in his personal lettersâsharing memories, reflections, and even festive notes written in his own invented languages.
We explore Tolkien's earliest Christmas recollections, his thoughts on the true meaning of the holiday, and a special Christmas note written in Dwarvish runes and Elvish script. Whether youâre a longtime Tolkien fan or discovering his works for the first time, this episode will rekindle the light and wonder of the season through Tolkienâs words. Join me as we celebrate Christmas through the lens of one of the greatest authors of our time.

JRR Tolkien described The Lord of the Rings as a "fundamentally religious and Catholic work." When this statement isn't outright ignored, it's wildly misunderstood. John Carswell of the Tolkien Road podcast joins me to explore how and why The Lord of the Rings is indeed a religious work.
