Xenite.Org Gets A YouTube Channel


After years of people asking me if I'll ever create a YouTube channel (for Tolkien and Middle-earth fans), I've decided to experiment with an AI-generated podcast.

This is a risky step but the reason why I don't just create videos completely by myself is that I'm too busy to spend much time on such projects.

On the other hand, I've noticed more than a few YouTube videos that appear to mirror many of my articles very closely.
The new channel is @MiddleearthBlog.

These podcast episodes share AI-generated discussions of older blog posts (for now). There are over 1,000 articles on the Midde-earth Blog, so I'll never be able to generate discussion videos for all of them. But hopefully I'll pick good articles about topics that interest people.

Here are the first view videos that are already available.

1. The Mystery of King Bladorthin In The Hobbit


This podcast discusses the article Who Was King Bladorthin In The Hobbit?

2. The Origins Of Hobbits In Middle-earth


This discussion is about the article Where Do Hobbits Come From In Middle-earth?

3. Who Made The Rings Of Power?


This podcast discusses the article Who Made The Rings Of Power?

4. Why Did J.R.R. Tolkien Write So Little About The Second Age?
