The Fellowship is forced to leave Hollin early when \u201cno sign of life nearby\u201d turns into \u201cgiant evil crows filling the sky\u201d. Certain they are being watched, they get moving as soon as possible and make for the Misty Mountains, but Gandalf and Aragorn bicker like an old married couple about the best way to get across \u2014 if you\u2019re more familiar with the movies, Gandalf\u2019s choice may surprise you. Barliman brings us a welcome follow-up on a listener\u2019s question about the friend who dismissed Tolkien as \u201cnerdy\u201d, and we seriously try to make \u201cbrupper\u201d a thing, because the alternative is far worse. In memory of Christopher Tolkien, 1924 \u2013 2020.
