THE LORD OF THE RINGS Stars Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd Launching LOTR Podcast Titled THE FRIENDSHIP ONION
The Lord of the Rings stars Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd have announced their podcast The Friendship Onion, a LOTR themed show that will include “banter, stories and comedy,” “each week digging into the latest in pop culture, put fans’ Lord of the Rings knowledge to the test, reveal exclusive stories from filming and maybe even welcome surprise drop-ins from famous faces.”
Monaghan, who is also known for his role on Lost, played Meriadoc ‘Merry’ Brandybuck in the films, close friend to Frodo Baggins, along with Peregrin ‘Pippin’ Took, who was played by Boyd.
The pair said of this podcast:
“I am contractually obliged to make a glowing comment here in regards to the podcast Billy and I are making together. This is proving difficult as Billy has abducted me and is holding me for ransom to the price of 44 bananas. Please, send bananas,” said Monaghan.
“Dom took a little persuading, it’s true, but this podcast is going to rock. He is such a joker, you have to love Dom. Ha….but you also have to love bananas, so….yes, send bananas,” said Boyd.
It sounds like this is going to be a really fun podcast for all fans of The Lord of the Rings. The Friendship Onion is set to premiere on May 18th, and will be available weekly on Spotify and across all podcast platforms, including video simulcast episodes on YouTube.
