  What podcast is that? I'm just reading the books for the first time.

    Not sure which one the OP had in mind but if you're into more theatrical audiobooks / podcasts check out "An Unexpected Journey" by "Samwise Gamgee" on Spotify. Absolutely top-tier audiobook of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

      Wow, just listened to the beginning of chpater 1. This is really, seriously good. Thanks you. I was just thinking what's next for my morning commute...

      Thank you so much! I started listening yesterday and cannot put it down. I am not certain how long will it stay up, but it is gold.

    Just seconding this request. Any and all podcast recommendations on the LoTR would be welcome.

    Tangentially related, the BBC published a pretty solid radio adaptation of LOTR in the 80's: https://archive.org/details/the-lord-of-the-rings-bbc-radio-drama https://archive.org/details/the-lord-of-the-rings-bbc-radio-... (no sign of Tom Bombadil here either though, IIRC)
