Ez has an actual encounter with a Black Rider! It's dark and rainy as we discuss Chapter IV of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring. Pippin, Frodo, and Sam take a shortcut and end up running into someone from Frodo's past. The Bywater Post is still flooded with mail. We love it and we share it!

The reread will continue on March 11th! Make sure to read Chapter V, A Conspiracy Unmasked. We'll see you in a fortnight! Keep your eyes peeled for a special surprise coming soon. You won't want to miss it! If you can't wait then head over to Patreon.com and listen to The Appendices - Chapter 2 for a silly teaser :)
