In this episode, Túrin parts ways with the survivors of Dor-lómin (probably for their own safety) and heads off to rescue Finduilas… a month too late. Along the way, he fakes an army, earns a new nickname ("Wildman of the Woods"—creative!), and ends up collapsing on a grave in peak dramatic fashion. Brandir is not thrilled to have him around, but Túrin decides it's time for a fresh start: new name, new outlook, same old doom. What could go wrong?

In this episode, we’re diving back into the chaos that is Turin's life: a surprise reunion with a long-lost friend (awww), a mysterious marriage that leaves us wanting it's own fan fiction , and—because it’s Turin—a fresh wave of bloodshed, violence, and bad decisions.

Join us as we unravel the drama, despair, and darkly poetic tragedy of one of Tolkien’s most complicated characters. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll probably yell “WHY” more than once. Grab your helm (you know the one) and take a listen!

In this fangirl-fueled episode of The Sisters of the Shire Podcast, we’re joined by the one and only Miranda—better known in the Tolkien fandom as Exlibrismir! From heartwarming meet-and-greets with Tolkien actors to her deep love for her ultimate Middle-earth hero (yes, it’s Faramir), Miranda brings the kind of infectious joy that reminds us why we love this fandom so much.

In this cozy and inspiring episode of The Sisters of the Shire Podcast, we sit down with Kaitlyn—artist, content creator, and the heart behind Tea with Tolkien! Known for her enchanting, fairy-tale-like illustrations and beautifully thoughtful study guides, Kaitlyn brings Tolkien’s world to life in a way that feels earthy, whimsical, and deeply meaningful.

We talk about her creative journey, how she transforms Tolkien’s works into lessons for everyday life, and why she believes the stories of Middle-earth can shape how we live and love in the real world.

We had so much fun recording this one, and we know you'll feel the same listening!

This week on The Sisters of the Shire Podcast, we had the absolute honor and joy of interviewing none other than Don Marshall — yes, The Obscure Lord of the Rings Facts Guy himself!

From deep Tolkien lore dives to delightfully random hypotheticals, we asked Don everything — the insightful, the silly, the wildly obscure — and he met it all with his trademark warmth, wit, and passion.

We even had an entire conversation about who we would cast in a Silmarillion movie, and it was as epic (and chaotic) as you’d expect.

Don’s love for Middle-earth is not only incredibly deep, but beautifully genuine. You’ll laugh, you might learn something new, and you’ll definitely feel the fellowship.
