In this episode, Toby and Steve cover the much revered first book in the LOTR series, The Fellowship of the Ring. We discuss the pacing of the book, the social implications, Tolkiens meaning and purpose in writing the book, and pick out themes and moments that personally interested us.
There are spoilers, and there are references to some other texts such as The Silmarillion and The Hobbit.
Examples of what we talk about are the backstory of Gandolf, how the release of the movies changed the crowd from social warriors to nerds, and the role of good and evil etc. It was a complex topic to cover, but it is an episode we are very proud of, and we hope you enjoy it.
