Happy Hobbit Day! Let\u2019s explore what makes JRR Tolkien\u2019s original children\u2019s novel so iconic to this day. In episode 242, Luke & James return to Hobbiton and Middle Earth for one more journey that starts with the written word, but will cover all three of Peter Jackson\u2019s films. Topics include the greatest fantasy song of all time, what Father Christmas might have in common with Gandalf, a philology professor\u2019s single line, the changes made to the "Riddles in the Dark" chapter, a raven with an unfortunate lineage, and what we all can appreciate about Thorin Oakenshield\u2019s final words.
