Drunk Tolk - That Irish LotR Podcast
Drunk Tolk Podcast
Imagine a Lord of The Rings read-along podcast/bookclub.. but where all the discussion takes place in a cosy nook of an Irish pub! All the same topics as a normal LOTR podcast, but with about as much depth as a pint of Guinness. Come for the books, stay for the craic and the lovely, lovely cans! Each week, a group of Irish lads discuss a new chapter of LOTR over a few beers. Whether you haven‘t read the books yet, or are a first time reader of LOTR or are re-reading it for fun, this podcast is for you! We guide you through each chapter with some content-relatable shite talk and delicious hot takes about LOTR along the way!

Chapter 22 - The Breaking of the Fellowship
Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of Season 2 comes the breaking of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Do not weep; for not all tears are an evil!  We are back again later with another episode where we recap our favourite bits of the Fellowship. For this episode though, expect chats about Saurons binoculars, floating oars and drowning, as well as a new concept to the pod: "What If" questions! (This starts around 40mins in, after our discussion about the chapter so you can skip the waffle if you aren't arsed listening to 30 more minutes of hot takes!)   Bonus Paddys Day Release special: Take a sup of your favourite drink every time Bull says "What if"      If you could be so kind as to review and share the pod, wherever you can, that would be awesome! Hope you enjoy this episode! Drunk Tolk - A Lord of the Rings Read Along Podcast You can also check us out on the socials here : Twitter, Instagram, Patreon, Apple Podcasts, etc etc

Error 404 - Chapter 19 not found (We lost part of The Mirror of Galadriel!)
As the title states, we actually lost part of this episode so we can't publish it without it making no sense to the listener! We have decided to skip this chapter and move onto Chapter 20 as there isn't really anything we can do about it now without rerecording it... which is...effort! (and you would lose the pizazz of the original take!)  Feel free to get in touch and voice your disgust at us! Let us know what you would've liked to hear our opinion on in this chapter..maybe we can do a little yoke later on down the line to fill this awful gap!   You can check us out on the socials here : Twitter, Instagram, Patreon, Apple Podcasts, etc etc

Chapter 20 - Farewell to Lórien
Disclaimer: If you are confused as to why Chapter 20 is out before 19, please note that we lost part of Chapter 19! Explanation coming soon! So we couldn't release it unfortunately so we just have to skip it if we want to finish this book!  In chapter 20 we discuss how Celeborn plays second fiddle to Galadriel, the Fellowships indecisiveness, how Gimli is no regular dwarf,  Galadriel and her magic pedalo, her gifts to the lads, elven magic, warebears and amazing river names.    If you could be so kind as to review the pod, wherever you can, that would be awesome!

Chapter 18 - Lothlórien
We take a trip into Lothlórien theme park, blindfolded and belligerent We delve into the forest and Tolkiens amazing legendarium including his amazing creation of several elven languages. However, it wouldn’t be a Drunk Tolk episode without outrageous questions so on this episode we ask; What was Gimli’s job in his hometown? How does Gollum walk and did the movies get it wrong? What can’t Galadriel do Is Celeborn her Galadrielad? And are her elves trapped on all sides or just self-isolating (like Ross)?   Credits: Celtic Impulse Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   If you could be so kind as to review the pod, wherever you can, that would be awesome!

Chapter 17 - The Bridge of Khazad-Dúm
Are Dwarves the original creators of fake news? Can Uruk-Hai blend into society as accountants? Is Ted Sandyman the true dark lord? Is Frodo Eru Illuvatar? Is a Balrog just a giant plate of noodles? All this and more in this episode as we strafe our way clumsily over the Bridge of Khazad-Dúm!   If you could be so kind as to review the pod, wherever you can, that would be awesome!

Chapter 16 - A Journey in the Black Stuff
AKA Book 2 Chapter 4 - A Journey in the Dark Life imitates art in this episode; We take our own journey in the dark in this episode as our own glorious leader Ross is nowhere to be seen! Join us as the stalwarts Eoin "The General" Duffy and Oisin "the posh brother" Pryle leave Bill the Pony and lead Seán the Bull through the Mines of Moria. As always, we chat about iconic moments that made it to the film (and the ones that didn't). Some important discussions this week; Gandalf is a rage-quiting arsonist with a possible drug problem, likely induced by everyone telling him he might die soon.  Boromir is an insolent oaf from the Irish midlands. Sam has a dilemma over Bill the Pony and Frodo the superhuman. Pippen may have dormant evil tendancies, and there may be some super sexy, silver mithril covered orcs roaming around Middle Earth!We finish the episode with our own journeys in the dark, which is staunch reminder to Be Drink Aware, folks! Like , share and subscribe if you're still with us! We really appreciate it!

Chapter 14 Part 1 - The Council of Elrond
We had to split this one into 2 parts because there's too much meat on them bones! We followed the same structure as Tolkien for this one so we have discussed each council member (and their history) as they stand up to speak at the council. Specifically, the dwarves and elves and their history, Isildur's actions and motives, Boromirs dream, Aragorns poem and Sarumans Technicolour coat!    You can also check us out here: Twitter, Instagram, Patreon, Apple Podcasts, etc etc
