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 by Galadriel in the chapter "Farewell to Lórien" in "The Lord of the Rings". (All the lyrics are on the youtube page of this)

J.R.R. Tolkien sings 'Troll Sat Alone On His Seat 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 writing 'The Hobbit'.

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

J.R.R. Tolkien reads from 'The Hobbit: Riddles in the Dark'. Very good for blind people, or people who want to bring awesome memories back.

Starting with information on Tolkien about the war, to the end, where fans art is shown.

This is an audio clip of J.R.R. Tolkien reading from 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Chapter IV: Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit'.
