Just discovered your podcast and I wanted to say thank you for the effort you put into it. Well done!
I can not wait to listen to all of the episodes.
Is it just me or does Bilbo seem like a jerk for taking Gollum’s ring? He knew it belonged to him and how badly Gollum wanted it but he kept it anyway.
Anyway, keep up the great work!
