As we get into the first chapter of The Hobbit, we discuss how coming at The Hobbit from a how does this fit into the Middle-earth cosmology perspective is probably not the best start.

We discuss:

* How The Hobbit wasn’t really in Middle-earth in the beginning.

* How “Good Morning” is used so expertly by tolkien
* How Bilbo’s Tookish side is starting to take over
* The BEST cover art for any edition of The Hobbit (see link below)

In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:

* Why Gimli doesn’t have an instrument.

* How Tolkien described Hobbit ears.
