Another special for Hobbit Day (which is in two days from this episode posting)! Here we give our own special treatment to those much talked about people and things, Tom Bombadil and the Barrow Downs' Barrow Wights, as well as Goldberry and the Old Forest. What we liked, who they are, why it's okay that they weren't in the movies, and much more. Grab a pint and a pipe and enjoy! Image: we were going to sneak in an awesome Barrow Downs image, but we couldn't get the right (we don't want to steal copyright if we can help it). We've also used pretty much all our book cover images of Tom. So here's a picture of James' Hobbit Day celebrations from 2018.
