    The Hobbit 19: Quite A Little Fellow
    Dec 24 2025

    This week, we return home to Bag End and consider the consequences of Bilbo's adventure in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Is the Shire different now? What are the signs that we're back in the normal world? What has tired the Tookish part of our hero, and strengthened the Bagginsish?

    The Hobbit 18: The Kindly West
    Dec 17 2025

    This week, the aftermath of the Battle of Five Armies in Chapter 18 of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Why don't we see Thorin's moment of redemption? Is his heroism enough to break the dragon-sickness for everyone else too? Is wisdom the right word for Bilbo's Baggins side?
