072 - King Name-Not-Appearing-In-This-Book

Published: March 4, 2018, 4 p.m.

The rest of the Dwarves are taken by the Elves in the first half of Chapter 9 of The Hobbit. Bilbo avoids capture thanks to his ring, only to get stuck hiding for weeks in the Elvenking\u2019s halls. Fortunately, Mr. Invisible Baggins keeps busy with more than just pilfering food, and soon an escape plan begins to take shape in the king\u2019s impressive wine cellars. A listener question leads us to consider the difference between burglars and thieves, and Tolkien\u2019s unfinished poetry offers another classic tale of Elves under the influence.
