Throughout the summer, there is a radio show on the Bishop’s University radio station ( or 88.9 FM in the Sherbrooke area, Quebec, Canada) concerning Tolkien and everything related to the Lord of the Rings. It is called “Passport to Middle-earth” and it airs every Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m. eastern time. We talk about different aspects of Tolkien mythology, exploring a specific topic on each show.
So far we have looked into Tolkien’s biography, we have shed some light on the various languages of Middle-earth, we have explored the matter of the different kinfolks of Elves, and much more. Next week we will uncover the mysteries of Nùmenor. The music on the show is always related in a way or another to the work of Tolkien; either we play music composed for his mythology or that was inspired by it. Also each week we try to give some news regarding Tolkien or the Lord of the Rings.
Tolkien fans can listen to us via the web here

Eric, who lives in the mid-west USA, writes: I work for a local movie theater, and I just got word from my manager about the TWO TOWERS. I went to ask them if we were getting the new TTT posters, and he mentioned that THE FIRST MOVIE this summer to come with the TTT Trailer is MEN IN BLACK 2. The film reels will have the trailer attached, but the managers can switch the trailers to other movies. SO…if you’re theater has MIB2, then that theater does have the trailer.
