Summary
After the joy of LEP3, we’re taking a moment to reflect on just how powerful and inspiring that celebration was. It felt like a shadow was lifted, and our hearts were truly healed by the laughter, fellowship, and love of Tolkien’s world.
In this episode, we share how that experience reignited our passion and inspired us to bring this podcast into its full glory. And with fresh energy and new light, we’re setting our course for the next great adventure: The Silmarillion. Discord is BACK! Patreon exclusive Podcast is BACK!
