188 – Questions After Nightfall 13

While Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli look for their horses, we welcome listeners to the common-room for our last live Q&A episode of 2020! As always, the questions are unrehearsed, so hearing us muddle through head-scratchers like “Do Orcs have free will?” is as entertaining as expected. We speculate on what Lobelia might have done if the One Ring had fallen into her hands along with Bilbo’s spoons, get into chains and bondage with Beren and Lúthien, and more. Plus, what were the guys hoping to do if they actually caught up to the Uruk-hai?

  • When are the episodes made and uploaded. I just found you guys a few days ago. I listened to the most recent episode and I liked it very much.

  • Hi, Joseph –

    We typically release episodes every Sunday, but we take major holiday weekends off (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, etc.), so episode 189 will come out next Sunday (Dec 6) as we start three episodes on The Uruk-Hai. Glad you’re enjoying the show!
