Well good evening little masters and welcome to episode 273 of the Brancing Pony podcast

where the dead are finally behind us and the muster of Rohan awaits.

Let us only hope though that Thad and remembers what that red arrow means.

I always thought it meant no right turn here.

Folks, let's pull up a bench to the common room and join us.

I am Don Marshall, the obscure Lord of the Rings facts guy.

And I am here with the man who despite much of the evidence of people telling me

to the contrary is not my father, the man of the West who is busy mustering what is

left of his memory, Mr. Alan Sisto.

Thank you, Don.

You can't stop even on your way out the door.

Hey, no, no, I never will.

Good. Don't stop because you can't stop folks tonight on top of bidding farewell

and an overdue one at that to Don Marshall.

We're welcoming a few of our patrons to join us for what is stunningly our 21st quarterly

questions after nightfall.

Folks, some of you are hearing this show for the first time.

To you, we bid a warm welcome here at the Brancing Pony podcast.

We are reading, talking and as has been quite evident through my run,

often joking our way through middle earth, a few pages at a time.

We do take a deep dive into the lore.

We explore how the story came to be.
