About The Lorehounds
Back in early 2022, David approached John about an audio project about Tolkien and The Rings of Power. Like lightning in a bottle, within a week they had a theme song, show art, and outlines. The Lorehounds published their first few months of podcasts under the Bald Move Network before creating their own independent podcast network.
Since then, The Lorehounds have expanded beyond covering Tolkien. While they keep Tolkien on the mic with their monthly Silmarillion Stories, The Lorehounds have provided full recaps and analysis of a wide variety of shows from franchises such as Star Wars to True Detective.
In 2024, Elysia, already a successful podcaster and network affiliate, joined as a full-fledged Lorehound. The Lorehounds Triarchy will continue being your guides to great TV, video games, books, movies, and more.

Fun & Informative
Love the One Piece coverage! So much fun listening to John explain the anime to Elysia. I learned a lot too.
Elysia IS the Lorehounds.
David is fine, John is so pessimistic it’s hard to listen to. He sounds like he doesn’t want to be there. John constantly rushes others’ analyses along and more often than not laments how long the podcast has been recording for. Elysia on the other hand is very easy to listen too. Cultured. Diverse. Intelligent. She’s ...

Great show, but in need of an audio makeover. I have to crank my volume about 25% more than any other podcast I listen to in order to hear what they are saying. Then, when they break for an Ad, or their theme song comes on, I end up damn near blowing my ear drums out. Get an engineer.
