I'm excited to announce the first cross-promo for The Westerosi Primer. It is Lore of the Rings. If you love LOTR, check this amazing podcast out!
What happened?
Imagine my surprise when I was checking my e-mail on the morning of July 1. It was a notification from Red Circle that someone sent me a cross-promo request. I was delighted to receive a nice message from Aaron, the host, about doing a cross-promo with him.
He pointed out there was some audience crossover between the two fandoms. After thinking about it, it does make sense. George R.R. Martin, like many fantasy authors, was influenced by one of the great masters himself: J.R.R. Tolkien. Naturally I agreed.
If you haven’t noticed already, the promo to his show is currently playing in my episodes. It’ll be running for at least a few days!
Final Thoughts
I’ve started listening to some of the episodes of this show. I have been enjoying them. I enjoyed the Peter Jackson movies. I’m not a die hard fan of the series, but I enjoyed watching them. I’ve only read The Hobbit. I think I need the time and the right headspace to dive into the actual novels.
Lore of the Rings is definitely a show you can listen to even if you’re new to that series. Just as importantly, you can definitely hear Aaron’s appreciation of Tolkien’s work in his episodes. So whether you’re a die-hard fan or new to Middle-Earth, give Lore of the Rings a listen. And feel free to let Aaron know I sent you his way!
