Episode Details

This episode dives beneath Middle Earth's surface to reveal the profound historical and philosophical foundations Tolkien embedded as an Oxford professor of Anglo-Saxon literature. What appears as a "silly fairy tale" actually represents both a perfect exemplification of its era AND timeless wisdom that transcends even Tolkien's intentions. Prepare to be shocked by its true depth.
