Snow-white! Snow-white! O Lady clear! We are overcome by song as we discuss Chapter III of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring. We leave Bag End and travel through the Shire. Pippin, Sam, and Frodo enjoy the countryside, sing a few songs, and try their best to avoid a mysterious Black Rider. The Bywater Post is flooded with mail and we can't wait to share it all with you. Join the discussion at https://www.facebook.com/uptalkintolkien

The reread will continue on Feb. 25th! Make sure to read Chapter IV, A Short Cut to Mushrooms. We'll see you in a fortnight!

The "white spaces" are coming into view as we discuss Chapter II of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring! During this discussion, we'll stop in at the Green Dragon, discuss the history of the RING, and learn a little more about Gollum. There will be "shadows of the past", shadows to come, and shadows that "lie". The Bywater Post is SNOWED UNDER!!! We have volunteers to help us sort through it all.

The reread will continue on Feb. 11th! Make sure to read Chapter III, Three is Company. We'll see you in a fortnight!

Welcome to “An Unexpected Podcast: Talkin’ Tolkien”. We invite you to join us on an adventure as Ezra and Lane delve deep into Middle Earth. Each fortnight we will gather for a book re-read, show speculation, and much more! So grab your book, a highlighter, cup of coffee, and keep a pocket-handkerchief close at hand. Remember, “Not all those who wander are lost” and we intend to let our imagination wander far and wide.
