'I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam.’
We have reached the very dramatic conclusion of the greatest fantasy trilogy ever written. It's been a long road to Mordor, but the adventure doesn't stop there. Heroes will arise, wars will be fought, perils will be faced, a king will return.
In this episode: How Sauron used propaganda to do his dirty work for him, can Merry go from zero to hero(?), and Tolkien's thoughts on Frodo's actions on Mount Doom. Plus, a lot more!
