Erendis’ mom gives her some pretty questionable relationship advice; Alan and Sara give you a pretty questionable podcast episode. Join The Man of the West and The Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we near the halfway point of our 10-part series on Aldarion and Erendis from Unfinished Tales. Aldarion tells Erendis to try to see it his way, but Erendis reminds him life is very short, and there’s no time; the stars of this rom-com finally get betrothed; and Meneldur gives his wayward son some hard truths. We talk about Tolkien’s incredible ability to write two sides to a debate, discuss the importance of contentment and agree that once you’re 300, you’re too old for wheelbarrows at dawn. Also, we spot a Temu Elendilmir.
