Meet Michael and Nick for the ninth time as they descend into the haziness that is the Barrow-downs. They quickly recap the hobbit's journey so far before establishing exactly what a barrow-wight is, as well as another perilous situation Frodo finds himself in after a foolish error in judgement.

Meet Michael and Nick for the sixth time as they make their long expected return from their three-year hiatus to finish this story (albeit with some difficulty). Discussions are had about the usefulness of supposed close friend Fredegar Bolger, Frodo's anxiety-inducing build up of courage to tell his friends his true purpose of leaving The Shire, and what the Ringwraiths had been getting up to as the hobbits eluded them.

Meet Michael and Nick for the fifth time as they discuss the appetite of Hobbits (Pippin especially), Sam pronouncing his loyalty and commitment to Frodo, and the character of Farmer Maggot, is he anything like the farmer we see in the films? Nick also starts a theory of a class dynamic in Middle Earth, and Michael has a go at giving the Ringwraiths new voices with their wealth of speaking lines.
