In our FINAL episode covering The Hobbit book, narrator of The Hobbit: Theatrical Audiobook 'Bluefax' drops by to discuss the final chapter, and joins us for a retrospective on the themes, messages, and favorite moments of the book. In it, we dive in-depth into not only the behind-the-scenes creation of his audiobook, but great book moments from the start to the end, like Bilbo and Thorin's character shifts, comparisons to greater mythology, Gandalf's excuse for being absent for half the book, and much much more.

Isabel (@spookyscaryisabeletons) is BACK with me to discuss the most emotional chunk of this story, and the climactic third-act superhero battle that is The Battle of The Five Armies. Also in discussion: Bilbo's bravery (stupidity?) Beorn's drunken T'Challa moment, Thorin's extremely overdramatic death scene, and Gandalf's utter uselessness.

Austin is joined by friend and borderline-obsessive Lord of The Rings nerd Isabel Christie to talk through the first two chapters of The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Topics include Hobbit eating habits, Gandalf's overly colorful word-choice, and Bilbo being the worst group partner in existence. Its a barrel of laughs, and only a taste of whats to come. Hope you enjoy! If you did, please consider giving us a rating, and spreading the word to your nerd friends!

Welcome to the introduction episode! Here, host Austin Civatte lays the groundwork for the adventure ahead, describing why it took him so long to read a world famous children's novel series that is almost a century old. After that, he goes into the very little, probably very inaccurate bits of information he thinks he knows about J.R.R. Tolkien's epic quadrilogy, before reading a single page. So strap in, saddle up, and enjoy The Search For Middle Earth, the not-so unexpected adventures of a clueless fantasy nerd navigating a new world he knows absolutely nothing about.
