This is the audio of a 1971 interview with J.R.R. Tolkien on the BBC 4 radio program 'Now Read On...'

Very self explanatory, and very well done. He pronounces Tolkien (toll-keen) as Tolkin (toll-kin), which really bugged me, and his voice is nasal.

This is a rare recording of J.R.R. Tolkien from 1952, in which he recites the Quenya poem "Namárië", famously sung द्वारा Galadriel in the chapter "Farewell to Lórien" in "The Lord of the Rings". (All the lyrics are on the यूट्यूब page of this)

J.R.R. Tolkien sings 'Troll Sat Alone On His सीट Of Stone'.

Tolkien reads an excerpt from his book. I believe this recording is from the original LP released after the book.

Wow, very fascinating. This tells how Tolkien started लेखन 'The Hobbit'.

J.R.R. Tolkien recites the Ring Verse.
