108 - Ain't Gonna Walk on Maggot's Farm No More

Published: Jan. 13, 2019, 4 p.m.

b'The second half of \\u201cA Short Cut to Mushrooms\\u201d finds Frodo almost as scared of Farmer Maggot as he is of the Black Rider following him. His fears are quickly eased, however, and he finds a good friend in an unexpected place. We discuss the hospitality of hobbits (and their mistrust of outsiders), talk with our North Wing guest about the value of finding one\\u2019s tribe among the Tolkien community, and answer questions from Barliman\\u2019s Bag about Sauron\\u2019s tactical decisions. Also, how to make mushroom soup sound even less appetizing.
