Delightful.

Right now we're doing the deep dive.

That comes a couple days later.

That's right.

You can email us, hobbitsanddragons at gmail.com if you have thoughts on the episode that you would like us to address.

The inbox is always open.

We will be digging into text and lore and all of that, but not spoilers.

That's right.

until the very end of the episode.

We did get an email from someone who said they got very scared by the spoiler warning last week.

Okay, so we want to talk a little bit about some things that are going on in the world really quickly.

I know that some people listen to this podcast to escape that, and that is an absolutely fine way to listen to this podcast.

So if you want to skip ahead...

go for it.

This sort of speaks to that.

We got an email from our listener, Elsie in Minnesota, living in Minnesota, who wrote, how you both speak about the hero's journey and the big stakes, not just character death and paying attention to things, how we care.

And every fucking thing a hobbit ever said is really helping me get through this dark time and to find the courage and the strength to protest and donate and be active in my community.

So that's something that Elsie said that like,

our podcast was sort of a good escape for her.

We got an email from our listener, Paul, as well.
