065 - Lobbest Thou Thy Holy Pine Grenade

Published: Jan. 14, 2018, 4 p.m.

b'We pick up Chapter 6 of\\xa0The Hobbit\\xa0with our heroes literally up a tree. Gandalf keeps the wolves at bay by playing with fire, but when the goblins arrive, things quickly heat up for Bilbo and his friends. Just as the situation begins to go up in smoke, unexpected help comes from above. We talk about the Eagles, their role in the legendarium, and the dangers Tolkien saw in using them too much in his stories. We also do a quick background check on Gandalf and recite some more goblin poetry bad enough to make a Vogon (and your hosts) cringe.
