Middle-earth is the legendary setting of J.R.R. Tolkien’s most beloved stories, filled with ancient kingdoms, distant lands, and a history spanning thousands of years. This episode explores the geography of Middle-earth, its peoples, the different ages of its history, and the enduring mythology that shaped one of the most influential fantasy worlds ever created. Along the way, you’ll hear about hobbits, elves, dwarves, men, wizards, and the places that have captivated generations of readers. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
