The hobbits take a near-disastrous shortcut and find themselves in the fields of a farmer who is serious about trespassing. Danger seems to await them at every turn, but as is often the case, help is found in unexpected places!

As Frodo, Sam, and Pippin set out on their journey across the Shire they will meet several unexpected friends and potential foes. Join us as we examine friendship, adventure, and the wisdom of those who have lived long lives.

A long-planned plot will be hatched, secrets revealed, and spies uncloaked. Join us as we examine a conspiracy, not just a theory, but a died-in-the-wool, bonafide, conspiracy!

Join us to examine one of the most crucial and significant chapters of the entire saga. This is Jake's personal favorite, and is an  episode not to be missed, so grab a book, a drink, and join us to examine the history of the One Ring.

In the first chapter of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien reacquaints us with hobbits, we see our old friend Gandalf, and get a bird's eye view to a party of special magnificence wherein it rains drink and snows food.

In this first episode, Josh and Jake examine the prologue of J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece The Lord of the Rings. This prologue concerns hobbits, pipeweed, geneaology, and even some insight on the power of the law.
