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

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

the prancing pony podcast wherever you listen. Am I the Jerk is a show where we talk about real

stories like my stepdad found out that I have a four million dollar inheritance and tried to steal it from me when my mom died.

Am I the jerk for how far I took my revenge? Or you might even see a story like this. My mother-in-law

photoshopped my wedding photos to change my nose. Am I the jerk for what I did in response?

So, Am I the Jerk is the perfect show to put on in the

background while you're driving, studying, drawing, or just chilling out. And the best part is,

you can send in your own stories from your own life to be featured and discuss on the show.
