Episode 04: A Middle Dearth of Horses

NOTICE: There is some weird audio stuff in this episode because Joey accidentally recorded with their built-in computer mic. We're very sorry, and it was fixed before we recorded the next episode. Thanks for bearing with us!

 

Join Joey (@joeytheprince) and Caitlin (@celloandbehold) as we journey through the Lord of the Rings, horse by horse.

Next episode will cover chapters 1 through 5 in Book 1 of The Two Towers and the film section from the beginning of Two Towers until minute marker 01:12:40

 

Crucial protests against police brutality and broader issues of racism continue. Please find ways to participate/contribute as you are able. Also check out this document for a few resources on racism in fantasy:
