0116 - Poetry in The Lord of the Rings
On this episode, we’d like to introduce you to some of the bonus content that we’ve been creating over on our Patreon site. Greta and I have been going through the various poems contained in The Lord of the Rings and having a focused discussion on them. These mini-episodes are normally only available to paying patrons, but we thought you guys might enjoy them. We discuss "The Road Goes Ever On", "Farewell We Call to Hearth and Hall", and "O Wanderers in the Shadowed Land". We hope you enjoy, and don't forget to head over to Patreon.com/TolkienRoad to see what else we have in store among our 30+ videos.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
