  1. Another great episode Father! If you want another LOTRO podcast to listen to visit me at http://ringcast.org/ I play LOTRO and my husband and I have started our own podcast about the game. I love all your shows here on SQPN. Keep up the great work here! ~Liz

  2. Can your podcasts be republished in their entirety on other websites?

  3. I always liked the Story of Toma and actually had the kids singing “Old Tom Bombadil is a very merry fellow…” I will have them record it an send it in.

  4. This show improves with every episode. Amazing. I didn’t think it could get much better than last time, but I was way wrong. I’m dazzled. I think what makes this show so unique from everything else out there is you, Father. You are an excellent story teller. You make the show worth listening to. Sure, the online game adds an impressive dimension, but without an amusing travelling companion it’s of little interest. Of course, content matters, but the host is equally important. Look at that ghost professor who teaches history in the Harry Potter books. I’m sure his lessons are accurate and possibly compelling, but nobody cares enough to notice.

  5. The soundseeing tour through the old forest was excellent ! And even providing some very interesting info while doing that, very well done ;).

  6. Father, I very much enjoy your podcasts on LOTR. What you have been doing is very interesting. you have made me want to once again read LOTR, and anything from the world of Middle-earth. I am currently reading “The Children of Hurin” and I would be happy to give you a reveiw. I also enjoy listening to you play LOTRO, I also play it and it would be awesome to meet up with you.

    Keep up the good work, Your friend in Christ, Patrick

  7. Wow, what a great episode. The music of the game is so awesome and fits really well into the podcast! Thanks!

  8. Hello Father Roderick,
    Congrats on the new “Secrets” show. I am interested in helping gather information on “Lord of the Rings” and especially “The Hobbit.” Email me if I can help out.
    Thanks
