Ep.09 The Hobbit Ch. 08 - Staying on the Path is Optional 12.12.2023

This week the party goes on a pleasant (terrible), little (long) stroll (terror-march) through Mirkwood. They stick close to the advice of Beorn and Gandalf for a little bit. Also, there are spiders. And Thorin body-shames Bombur. It's not cool. Intro and outro music "Concerning Hobbits" lo-fi by  @ChillAstronaut  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XHdKHPNOpE#TheHobbit #lotr #LordOfThe...

Ep.02 The Hobbit Ch. 1 - We All Need A Gandalf 24.10.2023

Good Morning! This week, Jason and Heather dive into chapter 1. Heather gives a summary of Chapter 1. It is helpful to remember that Bilbo is most likely the author of this text. He is telling us the story from his perspective. There are things that he doesn't know, and so, as readers, we can't know them. This first chapter is a small portion of the tremendous world that Tolkien created. W...
