Chris is solo and we do a soft primer on Sauron. We talk about the series going forward and what all of his names and titles mean. There is a lot of them.

Becca joins Chris for this week's episode, talking about Dwarf magic! They look at the mechanics of how Dwarf magic works in Tolkien and their possible Norse influence.

This week Chris is solo and checks out the different types of magic in Tolkien, and how Elves manifest this. As usual, he went down some deep holes for forbidden knowledge.

Solo episode this week. Chris breaks down Necromancy in Tolkien's works and why Sauron is completely undeserving of his title.

Drunk on polish alcohol and playing a racy drinking game. Join in and have some laughs with Chris and Becca.
