The Green Door Podcast: All things Tolkien

Thanks for joining us for another Second Breakfast. In this episode we explore the chapter 'The Old Forest and the Withywindle' from The Return of the Shadow, Volume Six of the History of Middle-Earth. We see the hobbits enter the Old Forest along with the first musical appearance of a certain Tom the Bomb! The fire, as usual, is crackling so do come in, pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink and isolate with us in the hobbit hole. Most importantly, stay safe! 

In search of mushrooms! Seriously.... where are the mushrooms? Thanks for joining us for another Second Breakfast. In this episode we explore the chapter 'To Maggot's Farm and Buckland' from The Return of the Shadow exploring how the meeting with Farmer Maggot and his smaller yappier dog started out as well as a 'merry' meeting in Buckland! The fire is crackling so do come and isolate with us in the hobbit hole. Most importantly, stay safe!  

A slight detour or maybe a shortcut to more information about that pesky magic ring! Once more our thanks for joining us for another Second Breakfast! In this episode we explore the chapter 'Of Gollum and the Ring' from The Return of the Shadow and witness how The Professor built on the already established character of Gollum and developed the backstory of the Ring. The fire is crackling so do come join us in the hobbit hole!

Please join ads and James as we discuss the Sun and the Moon. We saved several seats by the fire as we sit around Bag End and discuss heavenly bodies. Special thanks to beyond the guitar and Harry Murrell for the EXCELLENT intro and outro music!

We do hope you enjoy this special and unique episode celebrating how the Professor's storytelling continues to inspire and bring lifelong enjoyment to adults and children alike! They are most certainly books and characters that will pass down generations! XXX  

A storm is brewing both outside the hobbit hole and in the pages of The Return of the Shadow! Thank you for joining us for Second Breakfast.

Pour yourself a hot beverage and come join us by the fire!

**WARNING** THIS POST CONTAINS BAD RAP MUSIC. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED   This is NOT a regular episode of The Green Door Podcast.   it is an older project created by James O'Flaherty and Rob Wade (of Talk Star Wars Podcast and Emotionally 14 and Crazy Train...check out his stuff on youtube) We thought it would be fun to embarrass ourselves and share here.

Come and Ramble on with Ads and James through Chapter 10 of The Silmarillion;Of The Sindar. Special thanks as always to Harry Murrell and Nathan Mills from Beyond the Guitar for the excellent outro and intro music! Be sure to like and subscribe to their Youtube channels!
