#9. LotR - Pre-Two Towers Interlude 08.03.2014 30:00

Craig and Ryan discuss what they liked about the Fellowship of the Ring, and what they expect from The Two Towers. Ryan turns the tables on Craig for this round of Craig's Lord of the Rings Trivia. Craig speaks Elvish. Not kidding.

#8. LotR Ep.7 - Craig. Loves. Cate Blanchett. 24.02.2014 1:07:00

Book 2, Chapter 6-10 Wrapping up the Fellowship, we delve into a timid discussion on religion, and Craig makes a controversial claim: Tolkien saw the future and imagined Cate.

#7. LotR Ep.6 - Hello Balrog, Goodbye Gandalf 24.02.2014 44:18

Book 2, Chapters 3-5 Finally, we get resolution on the biggest cliffhanger from The Hobbit: What in the world happened to Balin, son of Fundin? We’ll also say a tearful farewell to our trusty guide, Gandalf the Grey.

#6. LotR Ep.5 - The Council of Elrond and other Elvish Nonsense 24.02.2014 40:00

Book 2, Chapters 1-2 Welcome to Rivendell! We don’t go anywhere, but we hear a lot about many far away places, from many new and old characters. Elves count by twelves, and anyone who has been to Salt Lake City in the winter has seen Isengard in the flesh.

#5. LotR Ep.4 - Striders and Riders 24.02.2014 46:00

Book 1 Chapters 9-12 Picking up the pace, we go from Bree to the Ford of Bruinen, meet Strider, and run away from Black Riders–a lot.

#4. LotR Ep.3 - The Happiest Weirdo in all of Middle-earth 24.02.2014 38:00

Book 1 Chapters 6-8 O Tom, Jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Discussion includes the singing weirdo, barrow wights, and “mastery” vs. “domination”. We’ve left the Shire, and we’re now in the wide world, just like leaving real life and entering wild world of Fairy Tales. This is not Ryan’s best week as a contestant in CRAIG’S LORD OF THE RINGS TRIVIA.

#3. LotR Ep.2 - The Shire Goes Ever On...and On...and On... 24.02.2014 39:00

Book 1, Chapters 3-5 Hitting the road, getting our first glimpse of Black Riders, and lots of first glimpses of what’s to come: poetry, themes, and elves. A salute to the worst accidental innuendo in all of fantasy literature. We also try to answer the question: Why on Eru’s green Middle-earth do we care about the origins of Brandy Hall?

#2. LotR Ep.1 - Birthday Parties and Birthday Presents 24.02.2014 39:00

Book 1, Chapters 1-2 We discuss the ways of hobbits, Bilbo Baggins as one of the 1% (doggone rich people!), and the setting of the massive story to follow.
