    Considerations for Class 238

    I can't seem to pull much out of the next section, but that may be because I'm so tired! Danger Will Robinson!- Obviously the birds are a danger. Strider seems to notice that immediately and we can see that all of his strange behavior earlier on is completely warranted. The continuing silence...

    Racist Harfoots?

    So I read an article from the Irish Times, link below, where the author had real concerns that the Rings of Power were being racist towards Celtic people, the Irish in particular because of the accents of the Harfoots. Is there anyone in Ireland who felt similar...

    Disagreements on WoT, Episode 11

    Call for Volunteers!

    Matthew Hoffmann. No technical skills, but I do have a desire to help however I can, whether it's transcribing, or digging into the sessions to find specific points or even just proofread.

    Red Brick in the Shire

    As we are traversing through the Yondershire, and may be seeing more examples of brick, I wanted to point out something that seems to have been missed. While it is true that red brick was prevalent during the Scouring, we do know that it was used before that. Farmer Maggots farmhouse we are told...

    Point of View

    Well after over a year of not only listening to the podcast but also bringing my character in LOTRO up to speed with the class, I finally have caught up! Something I noticed way back in Chapter 2 was the point of view that the story as a whole takes, specifically how little we get of Gandalf's...
