Austin is joined by friend and borderline-obsessive Lord of The Rings nerd Isabel Christie to talk through the first two chapters of The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Topics include Hobbit eating habits, Gandalf's overly colorful word-choice, and Bilbo being the worst group partner in existence. Its a barrel of laughs, and only a taste of whats to come. Hope you enjoy! If you did, please consider giving us a rating, and spreading the word to your nerd friends! Also, feel free to follow @MiddleEarthPod on twitter, where I'll be sharing behind the scenes photos, notes, and updates about future episodes.
