In this episode, we set forth that the Lord of the Rings is the greatest work of fantasy ever written. We discuss it's nature as an epic, delve into why it is so real and so transcendental (in other words, why it is so true), and bask in the aspirational beauty of Tolkien's writing and understanding of the human heart. Join us around the fire, wherever you may be.
