Dominic Monaghan’s Top 5 Podcasts
This week saw the launch of The Friendship Onion, a double act podcast with Lord of the Rings hobbits and real-life friends Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd. Of the many celebrity podcasts coming out, I am pretty excited about this one for a couple of reasons:
- I was such a big fan of The Lord of the Rings films when I was growing up, I listened to all the cast commentary of the extended cuts of the films. They were basically podcasts with a good film in the background.
- Dominic Monaghan has been into podcasts for a long time.
How do we know? Well, he says it in the first episode of The Friendship Onion. But Dom was also our celebrity podcast fan in our For The Love of Pod article from Issue #002 of the Pod Bible magazine. We’ve pulled his suggestion out of the archives…
