Retold: A Fantasy Podcast

Welcome to Retold! A podcast where I retell you my favorite stories of all time like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

Every week, my guests and I do a chapter by chapter retelling of the Potter books and we discuss our favorite lines, lore, and love for this series.

We have also just started discussing Lord of the Rings and the world of Middle Earth!

New Harry Potter episodes every Monday!

New LOTR episode every Thursday

We look at the many monsters and beasts of Tolkien's Middle Earth and select who we would think would be the best fighter, the best mode of transportation, and the best pet.

Gandalf vs Dumbledore? Basilisk vs Smaug? Shelob vs Aragog? These matchups and more in our fantasy fight night! Hope you enjoy the first every solo episode of Retold as I nerd out and attempt to deduce who would win in all of these matchups! Did I get any wrong? Do you agree? Let me know what you think in the comments!
*OOTP chapter 20 will come out later this week.

In this episode, I try to convince Jonathan and Hunter that there are SOME things that the Hobbit movies do really well, so well in fact, that they even do them better than the Lord of The Rings movies. Wish me luck!

WE LOVE THE MOVIES! That can't be stated strongly enough, but there are some things that we think they may have flubbed. Hey, no adaptation can be perfect. In this episode, Jonathan, Hunter, and I talk about Isildur, Faramir, Treebeard, and more things that were just better in the books.
