The first episode of this new Tolkien-focused Podcast focuses on the development of the Witch-king of Angmar over the course of Tolkien's writings.  Did you know that the Lord of the Nazgûl, the Witch-king, was once written as a Wizard from Númenor, of the same order as Gandalf? In this episode, I explore the development of this figure from the earliest drafts to the character we recognise today. Why did Tolkien make these changes? Does any part of Tolkien's original idea for this character remain in the finished tale? 

The Red Book is a project I started in 2021 and was created to allow me the opportunity to dive into Tolkien's mythology. If you want to check out more of my content, please visit my YouTube channel. If you want to support this project, you can find me on Patreon.
