Not sure which one the OP had in mind but if you're into more theatrical audiobooks / podcasts check out "An Unexpected Journey" by "Samwise Gamgee" on Spotify. Absolutely top-tier audiobook of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Thank you so much! I started listening yesterday and cannot put it down. I am not certain how long will it stay up, but it is gold.

Tangentially related, the BBC published a pretty solid radio adaptation of LOTR in the 80's:

(no sign of Tom Bombadil here either though, IIRC)

Just seconding this request. Any and all podcast recommendations on the LoTR would be welcome.
