Lord of the Rings Lorecast - J.R.R. Tolkien's World & Writings Explained

There's so much we still don't know about Tolkien's world. If you had a chance to ask him a single question, what would it be? What do you want to know more than anything else?
Some of our VIP Patrons share their questions and we discuss how Tolkien may have answered them.

There's a moment in chapter 3 where Frodo overhears a conversation between the Gaffer and a mysterious individual. A serendipitous moment that changes Frodo's plans for leaving Bag End, and possibly saves the mission before it even begins.

What was it like when you left home for the first time? Frodo's experience is much more dangerous than most of ours, but Tolkien himself seems to share some things in common.

Chapter 2 comes to an end. It feels like the darkest chapter yet (in comparison to the Hobbit and chapter 1) but ends on an unexpected high note. Something that feels designed by Illuvatar himself.

When we think of the One Ring we think of words like "precious" and descriptions like "perfect" but there is another word used in this section of the book that relates to something... or someone... we discussed a while back.
