Welcome to the Lord of the Rings lore cast,

the show that explores the background of Tolkien's, and I thought I would do something very different this week.

Welcome back to the show, everybody.

We're taking a break from The Hobbit, and this break will actually extend a few weeks. We're thinking

this week I'm going to do a Q&A. I posted some, I posted up on the Patreon and on the Discord

and just asked for people to post their questions. Got some really great questions we're going to

go over. And then next week is the holiday Robots Radio Network holiday special where me and some of the other hosts

from across the network are getting together to talk about some of our favorite things from the

year. So I hope you enjoy that and kind of changing it up a little bit here at the end of the

year. I, I, you know, I get in this pattern and I'm going through and doing things and it's

really nice to just kind of change

things on occasion. And I get to answer some questions and talk about some things that I normally

don't talk about. Some of these kinds of topics come up on like the patron bonus episodes,

but I don't always get to talk about them in the main episodes. So this week, I'm going to spend

probably an extra amount of time. I think that's what we'll do. We'll do kind of an extended

episode instead of a normal episode plus a bonus episode. We're just going to do one big,

long episode for everybody to enjoy and have a conversation about, oh, and by the way, if any

of these questions I respond to are things that you have thoughts on as well, then definitely jump on the Discord and jump on the Patreon.

Even the post on the Patreon is available for everybody.

You don't have to be a subscriber to see that post or to comment.

So all of that stuff is up everywhere and available for you to

respond and share your thoughts as well. So please join in the conversation. It's always fun
