But you may not know why Gandalf chose Bilbo in the first place, or how Gandalf and Thorin met, or how Gandalf received the map and key that he could pass along to Thorin, and still yet how unlikely the whole story is and how the tale is tangled up in the larger fight against Sauron. Today we explore the tale called “The Quest for Erebor” from JRR Tolkien’s Unfinished Tales. Share this episode using this link: ringspodcast.com/221 Who are you?

This episode explores three pivotal moments from the chapter Flight to the Ford in The Fellowship of the Ring. First, Sam Gamgee reveals his hidden depth through an imaginative troll-song, echoing Tolkien’s ideas on fairy stories and the role of poetry in Middle-earth. Then, the hobbits encounter the buried remnants of Bilbo’s earlier adventure, signaling the final narrative departure between Bilbo and Frodo. Finally, the mysterious rider Glorfindel arrives—not Arwen, as seen in the films, but a radiant elf-lord with deep roots in the First Age. With insights into Elvish reincarnation, the symbolism of bells and light, and the layered history behind Glorfindel’s return, this episode highlights Tolkien’s brilliance in mythmaking and the layered reality of his world.

Tolkien, encapsulates the sudden, unexpected joy that breaks through moments of despair. Drawing from Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories", this episode delves into how eucatastrophe shapes his works, from The Silmarillion to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Through key moments of unexpected hope in Tolkien’s stories—like the eagles’ arrival at the Battle of the Five Armies and the destruction of the One Ring—listeners will explore how Tolkien’s concept mirrors the ultimate eucatastrophe in Christian theology: the Resurrection of Christ. The episode highlights how Tolkien’s deep Christian faith informed his view of hope, sorrow, and redemption, and reflects on how these themes continue to resonate today. My Favorite Resurrection Story Two Believers unknowingly walk with the Resurrected Christ, who explains the scriptures about Himself, and eventually, breaks bread—reminiscent of the Sacrament.

This podcast is not affiliated with the Tolkien Estate. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Eucatastrophe, a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien, encapsulates the sudden, unexpected joy that breaks through moments of despair. Drawing from Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories", this episode delves into how eucatastrophe shapes his works, from The Silmarillion to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Through key moments of unexpected hope in Tolkien’s stories—like the eagles’ arrival at the Battle of the Five Armies and the destruction of the One Ring—listeners will explore how Tolkien’s concept mirrors the ultimate eucatastrophe in Christian theology: the Resurrection of Christ. The episode highlights how Tolkien’s deep Christian faith informed his view of hope, sorrow, and redemption, and reflects on how these themes continue to resonate today.

My Favorite Resurrection Story

Two Believers unknowingly walk with the Resurrected Christ, who explains the scriptures about Himself, and eventually, breaks bread—reminiscent of the Sacrament.

Luke 24:13–35

As a fan of Tolkien, you’ve probably heard that question more than once. I know I have! In fact, after three years and nearly 200 episodes, I think it’s hard for me to pin down just one reason why I love Tolkien’s works. Tolkien himself once articulated what makes a really engaging story in an essay called “On Fairy Stories.” We explore that essay some time back, and you can find that in episode #95: What Makes A Good Story | Tolkien's "On Fairy Stories". Today, we revisit that essay, but we also follow Boromir’s advice when he said: “None of us should wander alone!” I teamed up with the hosts at the Booked All Night podcast to explore a few ideas about great storytelling, and why we love Lord of the Rings so much.

Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring. Often overlooked by those who have only seen the movies, this chapter is filled with danger, mystery, and transformation. Join us as we explore how the Old Forest serves as a significant literary liminal space—a threshold between the familiar safety of the Shire and the unknown perils beyond. We discuss the mythological roots that influenced Tolkien's depiction of the forest, its role as a transformative character in the narrative, and the harrowing journey of the hobbits as they navigate its twisted paths. By the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of how Tolkien weaves ancient myth and literary symbolism into this dark and foreboding woodland. Don’t miss our next episodes, where we’ll uncover the forest’s agency and meet the mystical beings that dwell within its depths.

Tolkien. Without "The Hobbit," there would be no "Lord of the Rings" or "Silmarillion." Bilbo's tale, as Tolkien himself insists, is the linchpin, the essential connecting link, of his entire legendarium.

Today, we embark on a journey to unravel how "The Hobbit" stands at the heart of Tolkien's myth as we delve further into the mysteries of the Waldman Letter. Along the way, we'll explore Tolkien's disdain for allegory and dissect the profound meaning he gives the word “Magic”. Oh Hedwig, we’re not in Hogwarts any more!

These songs, "Blunt the Knives," "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold," and "Song of the Lonely Mountain," serve as the lyrical threads that weave together the narrative fabric of Tolkien's beloved tale. They are not merely tunes but portals to the very soul of this legendary world. So, let the melodies carry you away as we explore the harmony between the written word and the silver screen, and discover how these songs remain faithful to the spirit of Tolkien's work.

That line is from the final chapter of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit: The Last Stage. We made it! Congrats, Middle-earth Wanderers!

Today, we embark on a journey of reflection, delving deep into the final chapter of "The Hobbit." It's a chapter that stands as the reflection to the beginning stages of our adventure, where Elrond's House in Rivendell and the unexpected party in the Shire were the heralds of the unknown. Here, in "The Last Stage," we find ourselves at the crossroads of nostalgia and closure, tracing the echoes of Bilbo's diminutive footsteps as they resound through the vast tapestry of Middle-earth.
