About this episode
The hosts discuss their favorite selections from Tolkien's poetry in the Lord of the Rings and evaluate the collection's representation.
With all of our hosts back together, we take one (final?) swing at the collection of Tolkien's poetry. This time we look at their selections from the Lord of the Rings. Which were our favorites? Do we think they did a good job choosing a representative collection? Also...why do Sauron and Bombadil write poetry the same way!?
