Summary

This is the first entry in our four-part journey down the J.R.R. Tolkien rabbit hole that so many of you wanted us to journey down. Andrew and Craig have both already read The Hobbit, the shorter, lighter prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so Craig's sister Jillian joins us for the ride.
Join us for a talk about Tolkien, bedazzled dragons, and one weird trick that giant spiders will HATE.
