  1. Chapter 6 - The Old Forest

    Chapter 6 - The Old Forest

    The Hobbits head into the Old Forest, and it turns out to be just as bad as Fatty Bolger suspected. With ominous vibes, ever-changing paths, and a legitimately murderous Willow, the Old Forest might just be the end of the journey... but then along comes Tom Bombadil. Who is this capering madman? And what do his nonsense songs have to do with the creation of the world? In this episode, we're asking all the important questions, like 'can you think of one single thing to say about bonfires?' And 'where does all the queerness in the Old Forest come from?' Join us as we go on a deep delve into the history of songs in Arda, chat through the chapter, and quiz each other. The episode ends (as always) with an original song, this week inspired by Frodo's song of encouragement as the party struggles against the Forest's dark mood.

    Chapter 5 - A Conspiracy Unmasked

    The Hobbits make it to Buckland just in time, and recover from their frights with a trio of baths and a mountain of mushrooms. Frodo needs to tell his friends the awful truth... but what secrets of their own will be uncovered? Can Frodo trust anyone at all?? Join us again as we delve deeper into the story, chatting thrugh our favourite moments, and pausing (as usual) for quiz questions, 30-second challenges and songs. Will Miles manage to step out of the detail and summarise the chapter in 30 seconds? And what powerful enemy will Hannah make with her own comments under time pressure this week? As always we have an original song inspired by the text as well - stick around to the end to hear Hannah's rendition of the Hobbit's journey song!

    Chapter 4 - A Shortcut To Mushrooms

    The spook factor has reached new heights with sniffing, screeching spectres in hot pursuit of our Hobbit pals this week! Thankfully, we'll be stopping off at Bam Furlong to enjoy a hearty mushroom meal with the Maggots before we head out into the dark. Join us this week as we dive into another fantastic chapter - which character will earn their very own jingle? And who will become Alpha of the Pack when we encounter Farmer Maggot's dogs? As usual, we unpack this chapter with a quiz, a 30-second challenge, and a lot of laughs. And stay til the end to hear our version of the Hobbit's drinking song!

    Chapter 3 - Three Is Company

    And they're off! Frodo and his friends leave Bag End in the nick of time, and come across foes, friends and foxes in this week's adventure. In this episode, we have our first ever deep dive where we learn about the awakening of the elves, and realise that Gildor was totally name-dropping when he mentioned he's from the House of Finrod. And we finish with another song inspired by the text - this week, it's a hymn to the Goddess of Light. Amen.

    Chapter 2 - The Shadow of the Past

    Draw the curtains and light the fire, because we have some serious stuff to discuss this week - Frodo learns that the ring Bilbo left him has a pretty important history, and Sam learns just how curiosity killed the cat. This week, we have our usual book club discussion and quiz, but will Miles be able to identify and impersonate all the characters from the chapter? And Hannah gives us her first "deep delve" of the series - who is this mysterious hottie Annatar, and why is he so good at ringcraft? Make sure you listen to the end, because we have another original song inspired by the text, featuring some very spooky chanting in the black speech!

    Chapter 1 - A Long-Expected Party

    It's party time in Hobbiton, and our pal Bilbo has a few tricks up his sleeve - this week we're gathering at the Ivy Bush for a good gossip sesh, and we'll be covering important questions like do Hobbits know what express trains are, and WHO is Daddy Twofoot?! As usual, we'll round off our discussion with a quiz and a few reflection questions - but what rank will Hannah attain when it's her turn to be put on the spot? And how did we get on with our challenges from last week? Make sure you listen to the end, because we have our very first original song, inspired by the classic The Road Goes Ever On And On.

    Chapter 0 - The Prologue

    Hello and welcome to the Hobbiton Huddle, the brand new Lord of the Rings bookclub that's got all the Tooks, Grubbs, Chubbs and Brandybucks in Hobbiton talking. It's our pilot episode, and we're getting stuck into the Prologue of the Fellowship of the Ring. This week, we share a bit about our own history with Lord of the Rings, before diving into the incredible detail of the Prologue, with a focus on all things Hobbit. How did Tolkien get away with adding so much detail before the adventure even begins, and what was he thinking including so many spoilers?? We round off our discussion with a quiz and a few reflection questions - but what rank will Miles attain with his quiz performance? And what challenges will this week's reading inspire?
