Where the Shadows Lie: A Rings of Power Podcast
An analytical, fannish space for all things Rings of Power, with Kat and Wren.
Join us as we delve into the world-building, art and design, and character development of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. On this podcast, you'll find in-depth discussions of both canon and original characters, meta analyses of the show's thematic choices, and thoughtful engagement with the series' transformational choices, which often build on and interrogate the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Most of all, we hope our discussions inspire your own interpretations of the show and deepen your experience of the series’ content and themes, all while appreciating the artisans, performers, and crew whose labor has made this return to Middle-earth possible.
Subscribe for notifications about our hiatus episodes, where we'll be taking deep dives into specific characters, themes, and aspects of the lore.

In this episode, we analyze all the released promos, cast panels, and behind-the-scenes featurettes to try to parse what we might be in for in Season 2. Please note, this episode was recorded on August 1st, so we don't include every up-to-date piece of information in our discussion. There have been several new reveals in the interim, including photos of the Stoors and track titles from Bear McCreary's soundtrack. This episode will also not include information from the August 14th trailer. We're so excited to dive back into our favorite show and we hope you'll join us on all our Season 2 adventures!
