075 – Tolkien Reading Day Special 2018

Happy Tolkien Reading Day! On March 25 every year – the date of the fall of Barad-dûr – Tolkien lovers worldwide celebrate by reading the Professor’s works aloud. The theme for 2018 is Home and Hearth: the many ways of being a Hobbit. From the Shire to Cirith Ungol and back again, Alan and Shawn rattle on like Gaffer Gamgee at the Ivy Bush, reading passages from The Lord of the Rings that illustrate Hobbit ways.

Help send the Pony to Mythmoot! Buy a PPP T-shirt today to help send The Prancing Pony Podcast to Virginia for Mythmoot V in June. All proceeds will be used to help cover travel costs for Shawn and Alan to attend MMV and host a live episode broadcast. Available here until March 31, 2018! Thank you!
