A shortie but goodie! Vasilios talks about the shorter episodes to come, covers all the best Tolkien-related news from the last 2 weeks, including a major casting change in the Amazon Lord of the Rings series, then GETS INTO IT: in the Hobbit Hole, he goes all the way back to the first chapter of the Silmarillion to see how Eru Illuvatar has got everyone covered - yes listener, even you.

In the 16th episode, Vasilios broaches that familiar Tolkien topic: eagles! We know they're not a jewelry delivery service, so what are they, actually? Search and rescue workers? Air force? Glorified airbuses? By logging all their appearances in the official canon, Vasilios tries to crack the code of the much-maligned feathered fouls. In the Hobbit Hole: looking beyond the material to discover purpose.
