Welcome to the Two Retired Homeschoolers! We talk about books and know less Latin than you might expect, but we make up for it by having strong opinions on topics about which we know nothing. Sometimes, in between Holly laughing at her own jokes and following every rabbit trail Rebecca's brain suggests, we even review the books this podcast is purportedly about. This podcast is available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Message us at tworetiredhomeschoolers@gmail.com.

The Fellowship of the Ring by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (ft. Mackenzie Matthews)

Like Frodo, your hosts and guest Mackenzie Matthews form a fellowship and set out on a quest to uncover a fantasy masterpiece. We discuss Tolkien's aversion to allegory, debate the presence of moral implications, and compare the differences between the book and movie. Join us as we delve into the appeal of comfort versus the need for adventure in this classic tale of good vs. evil. Holly comes to appreciate Tolkien's writing abilities from a respectable distance, while Rebecca spiritedly defends Legolas and Mackenzie realizes that the Gandalf of the movie is not the Gandalf of the book...
