Five new online lectures on Tolkien and his interest in languages, from Oxford, with one per podcast. I have no interest in the intricacies of his invented languages, but in this case it’s real languages such as Old Norse.

Regrettably they’ve only put up the videos, and they’re over a Gb each to download and there’s no plucking torrent so the download speed can’t be throttled back. We don’t all have gigaspeed Internet like Oxford does.
