J. R. R. Tolkien and his work came up across several podcast episodes. On The Joe Rogan Experience, a guest referenced Peter Jackson, who directed the film adaptations of The Lord of the Rings, while another guest discussed the book as a powerful story concerning the relationship with power. On The Daily Stoic, the host compared the look of an old-growth forest in New England to something straight out of The Lord of the Rings. Christine Emba mentioned on The Ezra Klein Show that she had just started rereading the trilogy and recommended it to others. Dr. Peter Kreeft appeared on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast to compare Harry Potter's quest to the journeys of Frodo and Bilbo in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, noting how they overcome evil through self-sacrifice. On the Lex Fridman Podcast, Po-Shen Loh noted that he was generally inspired by fictional and true stories of campaigns, specifically citing The Lord of the Rings. Manolis Kellis used the same book on the Fridman podcast to illustrate how enemies are portrayed as inhuman monsters, and Karl Friston mentioned The Hobbit on a different episode of the Fridman podcast while discussing the narratives of his youth.
