Didja miss us? :) We're back going through Appendix A as found in the back of Return of the King! Of course Jimmy has a million more notes and anecdotes to his stories, some that may be familiar to us and a little throwback to Season 1 of the pod...

"I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, listeners".
4 years and one hundred episodes later, we've done it. We've read The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings by Jimmy RR Tolkien chapter by chapter with you all by our side. Thank you for joining us on this grand adventure. While we're not done yet, there won't be another one quite like this.
xoxo,
Tori and Paul of The Sillymarillion
Thank you as always to Molly Knox Ostertag for guesting and being a part of our Fellowship. Follow Molly! https://www.mollyostertag.com/

The hobbits return home to the exact opposite of rest and relaxation. There are ruffians and shirrifs and some no-good-evil-doing guy named Sharkey calling the shots?! This was one of the best chapters in the series, in Tori's humble opinion. It has themes and messaging that I think can still be applied to today and my god do Sam, Frodo, Merry and Pippin stand up for their home!!

This is a short little sentimental chapter where our hobbits + Gandalf catchup with Old Butterbur and give him the best news he's heard in months.

This chapter had nothing and everything at the same time. You have to fight through the "everything sucks and still sucks" before being rewarded with THE Sam and Frodo lines of all time!!

Sam and Frodo are creeping amongst the shadows and trying not to get caught by orcs or trackers or any of the other evil life-threatening creatures that exist in this land. This is fine. Everything's fine!

The Black Gate Opens!!! Battles begin!!! ...Sauron has a mouth? After some war advancements, Sauron's Messenger meets the party and basically offers Frodo in exchange for rulership of all of Middle-Earth...fair trade, right?

And then the Avengers Assemble as Aragorn, Gandalf, Eomer, Prince Imrahil, Elladan and Elrohir strategize and agree to aid in the fight against Sauron, even if it means being bait...

We're doing a charity stream! Details below the episode description.
Apparently not only is Aragorn a ranger, war captain, king or whatever, but he can also add MD to his resume. Dr. Aragorn is here to heal everyone with essential oils and elven magic!

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Happy Wednesday! To celebrate the podcast coming out on Christmas Day, Paul and Tori dive into Tolkien's "Letters from Father Christmas" to get into the spirit. Of course it's 166 pages because Jimmy doesn't know how to keep anything simple.
See you in the new year! We love you!
