A chronological chapter by chapter exploration of the greatest literary series by two wholly underqualified friends. Strap in for some fantastical banter, hot takes, and bad jokes!
008 - Quenta Silmarillion "Of the Sindar", "Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor" (Tolkien, The Silmarillion)
While Feanor is in Aman being Feanor, here's what popping in Middle Earth! King Thingol and Melian have a daughter, The Valar take another chance at lighting Arda, Morgoth hates everything, and I guess here's the beginning of time (again). Thanks to Andy from joining me this week! deadbroetspod@gmail.com!

007 - Quenta Silmarillion "Of the Flight of the Noldor" (Tolkien, The Silmarillion)
This week marks the return of co-host Josh who joins to chat about Feanor being, well, Feanor. The Valar once again live in darkness, Melkor gets a name upgrade, The Noldor take up arms against their seafaring bros, and more. Drop us a line at deadbroetspod@gmail.com!

006 - Quenta Silmarillion “Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor”, “Of the Darkening of Valinor” (Tolkien, The Silmarillion)
This week we unpack the darkest (no pun intended) chapters so far. Melkor continues to be a pain to literally everyone, Feanor shows what an elf with a fancy red plume can do, and Tolkien unknowingly gives out metal band names. Thanks again for the return of Drew! I feel like I should warn you, we set a record for profanity on this one! For questions/comments/corrections: deadbroetspod@gmail.com

005 - Quenta Silmarillion "Of Eldamar and the Princes of Eldalie", "Of Feanor and the Unchaining of Melkor" (Tolkien, The Silmarillion)
Another week and another guest, this week me welcome Drew (are you sensing a name theme?) to the pod. We chat about Ulmo moving islands, Osse being a pouty ex, Elf lineage, and Melkor finally breathes fresh air. As always, thanks for listening and thanks for putting up with my Elvish name butchery!

004 - Quenta Silmarillion "Of the Coming of Elves and the Captivity of Melkor", "Of Thingol and Melian" ( Tolkien, The Silmarillion)
Hey kid, want to see a chained Melkor? This week our favorite baddie gets tossed on his face by some demi-gods, Iluvatar's good kids wake up first, I find out what "sundering" means, and what happens when an elf goes for a walk and finds true love. Big thanks to Andy for the guest spot, all of you experts will enjoy hearing a worthwhile opinion!

003 - Quenta Silmarillion "Of the Beginning of Days", "Of Aule and Yavannah" ( Tolkien, The Silmarillion)
This week we begin the Quenta Silmarillion and get through the first two chapters ("Of the Beginning of Days" and "Aule and Yavannah"). We get a little more info on the habits and interests of the Valar, as well as a warning of what happens when you don't invite Melkor to your wedding. Middle Earth is formed and neglected, The Valar just can't get over themselves in the West, is Melkor in "the upside down"?

002 - Valaquenta (Tolkien, The Silmarillion)
This weeks chapter, Valaquenta, through the lore of the Eldar we are introduced to The Valar (formerly Ainur), The Maiar, Morgoth, and a familiar character to those who are acquainted with the films! Andrew and Josh talk about comparable gods, evil, and why Melkor hates water.
23 Dec 2020
001 - Ainulindale ( Tolkien, The Silmarillion)
The Silmarillion Chapter One begins with Eru, The One, and the creation story of Arda (The Earth) through Music. Andrew and Josh talk about omniscience, Iluvatar's sad boy phase, and the War of Sound among other things in this weeks episode.
