I'm Alan Sisto, the man of the West, here at the Prancing Pony Podcast.

And I'm Sean Marquesie, the real-life Lord of the Mark.

Every week here at the Prancing Pony podcast, along with Sean or other co-hosts,

I explore the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings,

bringing along lots of pop culture references, plenty of nerd humor, and the occasional bad pun. It's just a couple of friends hanging out at the pub talking about our

favorite books. We cover just a few pages every episode, reading important sections of the books

and having a chat about what we've read. Now, we do a ton of research for each episode so that we

can bring as much background information to our conversation as possible. We do all the heavy

reading so you don't have to. It's a great way for first-time readers to learn the basics of Tolkien's world.

Well, for Middle Earth veterans, it's a deep dive into their favorite stories.

Now, the Tolkien fandom is like no other,

so we spend time in the community giving talks at Tolkien events, recording live episodes,

and hanging out with our listeners on Discord to engage with our audience every chance we get.

So if you're ready to dive into the most beloved world

in fantasy literature and become a part of a vibrant active community of listeners, then look for

the prancing pony podcast wherever you listen. Hey listener, it's Zach Harper, Amina al-Hasson,

and Anthony Mays of Cynophobe. You may be asking yourself, what is Cynaphobe? I mean,

would you like to fill in the people? Cinephobe? I mean, would you like to

fill in the people? Cinephope is the podcast for Zach and I watch movies that are poorly rated

on Ron Tomatoes and try to ascertain. You're trying to ascertain? Yes. Okay. Asertain. Whether or not

they're accurately poorly rated? Or maybe they didn't get a fair shake. Cinepho produced by this guy, Anthony Mace. Hey, that's me. I produced this show.

I also watched the movies,
