Episode 40 - Medieval Musings with Geo

Welcome to the fortieth episode of The Daily Rings of Power Podcast!
We’re back today with a rather special episode, as it marks the return of the format where I invite guests on from the Tolkien community to come on and chat about a topic of their choosing.
Today I am bringing you a conversation with my good friend Geo (@kingslayars), who is a font of knowledge when it comes to all things medieval literature. We spent a good 3 hours talking about all things Medieval, the influence of that time period on Tolkien’s work, and how The Rings of Power has continued to draw upon Medieval tales and ideas.
We cover everything from the role of oaths, to the significance of swords, and the place of rings in the tradition of gift giving. On top of that, we also touch on some of the Medieval influences we see in The Rings of Power’s costumer, set, and prop design.
