Big news from the Shire! We got early access to Tales of the Shire and couldn’t wait to share all the details with you. In this episode, hear our honest review—the good (so much good!), the tiny bit of bad, and a few funny little glitches that honestly just added to the charm. Is it fun for kids? Can you really garden, fish, decorate your Hobbit home, and befriend a duck named Ladle? (Spoiler: YES.) If you’ve been wondering what this cozy little game is really like, we’ve got all the answers—and plenty of laughs—waiting for you!

This week, we’re shifting our focus from Túrin’s forest brooding to a bold new journey—one led by a mother who refuses to sit still while rumors swirl. As whispers from Nargothrond reach Doriath, tensions rise, tempers flare, and long-held restraint begins to crack. Duty, grief, and stubborn determination collide in unexpected ways as new characters step forward and familiar ones surprise us. Let’s just say… the House of Húrin isn’t done stirring things up, and not even Thingol and Melian can keep the storm from brewing.

In this episode, Túrin parts ways with the survivors of Dor-lómin (probably for their own safety) and heads off to rescue Finduilas… a month too late. Along the way, he fakes an army, earns a new nickname ("Wildman of the Woods"—creative!), and ends up collapsing on a grave in peak dramatic fashion. Brandir is not thrilled to have him around, but Túrin decides it's time for a fresh start: new name, new outlook, same old doom. What could go wrong?

In this episode, we’re diving back into the chaos that is Turin's life: a surprise reunion with a long-lost friend (awww), a mysterious marriage that leaves us wanting it's own fan fiction , and—because it’s Turin—a fresh wave of bloodshed, violence, and bad decisions.

Join us as we unravel the drama, despair, and darkly poetic tragedy of one of Tolkien’s most complicated characters. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll probably yell “WHY” more than once. Grab your helm (you know the one) and take a listen!
