Customer Reviews
Love it!
It's great to hear what's going on with everyone's favorite fantasy radio station!
Thank you
Amazing show, I was listening while playing LotRO and had a great time. The hosts are all great, as were the guests. I felt as if I was in a cozy hobbit hole sitting by the fire, listening in on a great fellowship. Thank you.
Love the Founders
Wonderful podcast!
love hearing the Founders of My Middle-earth talk and the interviews they have done been great and diversivified..
I appreciate that it is posted on iTunes for the ones I can't get to live- having the option of listening and participating in the chat room or online in LOTRO game add to the enjoyment and involvement.
Thanks again for an enjoyable listen!
