    E102: Appendix B-ish & C-ish & D-ish

    Ie in which we kinda sorta talk through Appendices B, C, and D! Which has a timeline of events, family of trees, and a history and breakdown of the Middle-earth calendars. Jimmy was so thorough in everything and I imagine him writing this with a red-string board behind his desk.

    E101: Appendix A

    Didja miss us? :) We're back going through Appendix A as found in the back of Return of the King! Of course Jimmy has a million more notes and anecdotes to his stories, some that may be familiar to us and a little throwback to Season 1 of the pod...

    S5 E19. At The End of All Things

    "I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, listeners". 4 years and one hundred episodes later, we've done it. We've read The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings by Jimmy RR Tolkien chapter by chapter with you all by our side. Thank you for joining us on this grand adventure. While we're not done yet, there won't be another one quite like this. xoxo, Tori and Paul of The Sillymarillion Thank you as always to Lee Knox Ostertag for guesting and being a part of our Fellowship.

    S5 E18. The Hobbit Rebellion

    The hobbits return home to the exact opposite of rest and relaxation. There are ruffians and shirrifs and some no-good-evil-doing guy named Sharkey calling the shots?! This was one of the best chapters in the series, in Tori's humble opinion. It has themes and messaging that I think can still be applied to today and my god do Sam, Frodo, Merry and Pippin stand up for their home!!

    S5 E17. That's What You Missed in Bree

    This is a short little sentimental chapter where our hobbits + Gandalf catchup with Old Butterbur and give him the best news he's heard in months.
