The Rings Of Power With Mary & Blake: A Rings Of Power Podcast
The Rings Of Power With Mary & Blake is a podcast dedicated to the hit TV show on Amazon Prime Video, The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power In The Rings Of Power With Mary & Blake, hosts Mary and Blake dive in head first on character, theme, favorite moments, production, predictions, and every facet you can think of for The Rings Of Power on Amazon Prime Video. Mary has read The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings while Blake has not. Mary is a major fan of The Lord Of The Rings while Blake is a much more casual fan. Though we know that The Rings Of Power is not necessarily based on a book written by J.R.R. Tolkien, we firmly believe in the separation of book and show. We do, of course, invite book knowledge, but we are analyzing this story from the television show on its own accord.
