Good evening, little masters, and welcome to episode 276 of the Brancing Pony podcast,

where the hosts will suffer no living man to come to their hidden recording booths.

But at Wilds, we may ourselves be seen passing amongst the world of the living.

Well, I hope so. Yeah. Folks pull up a bench in the common room and join us.

I'm James Tower, the sage of the south, and I'm here with the man of the west who seems

greatly changed since I saw him first. Alan Sisto. By which you surely mean only that I am grimmer

and not older, James? Yes, of course. Good answer. Folks, join us as we listen to

more legends about the powers of the dead and await the inevitable arrival of the red arrow.

In the second of three episodes on The Master of Rohan, the third chapter in the return of the

king and not to be confused with the mayonnaise or ketchup of Rohan. Yes, the condiments of Rohan.

That's the trilogy. Folks, some of you are hearing this show for the very first time.

To you, we bid you a warm welcome. Here at the Brancing Pony podcast, we are reading, talking,

and often joking our way through Middle-earth, a few pages at a time.

Yeah, we take a deep dive into the lore, we explore how the story came to be,

talk about our favorite themes and a whole lot more. But it a lighthearted and fun way,

like friends chatting at the pub. And we're glad you've joined us.
