Faramir continues wowing the hobbits with his knowledge of Gondorian history, prompting Sam to one-up him with a recitation of his new spoken word piece “Fifty Things I Love About Galadriel”. But the talk of Lórien opens the door to a conversation...
Too soon? Probably so, because Frodo's just learned that Boromir is dead — oh, and the guy interrogating him is the brother of the deceased. He questions Faramir's vision of the funeral boat, but Faramir has no doubt of what he's seen...
Alan and Shawn welcome Verlyn Flieger back to the Prancing Pony Podcast to finish out our fourth season! We catch up with her on Beowulf, free will, the mistakes of Túrin, and her new book Arthurian Voices…
Galadriel says farewell with a few extra-special gifts for the extra-special members of the Fellowship while the others sit back and grumble about their belts and stuff. We also interview James Tauber of the Digital Tolkien Project.

The Fellowship comes to Caras Galadhon — the city of Lothlórien. Celeborn’s welcome is warm at first, but cools when he learns the Company awoke something very warm (and wingless) in Moria. But when the Lady comes to their defense, even Gimli starts...
The Fellowship are led through Lothlórien blindfolded, and yes, Legolas is still complaining. Deprived of his sight, Frodo’s heightened senses take in the sounds, the smells, and the feel of the world around him. We ease up on our criticism of...
Haldir of Lórien greets the Fellowship (the less beardy fellows, at least) as friends and invites them to spend the night in his magic treehouse. Poor Gimli is deemed a spy just for being a Dwarf in an Elvish forest, but nobody tells him. We expose...
