Episode 502: Talkin Tolkien, as we chat about the Lord of the Rings Franchise!

The Blasters & Blades Podcast
We snuck out of the shire for a fun chat about the OG fantasy guru J.R.R. Tolkien. We gathered an awesome cast to enjoy second breakfast with as we blew smoke rings and pontificated. This time we’ve got Jana S Brown (aka Jena Rey), Jesse James Fain, JF Posthumus, Melissa McShane and Teri Kay Jobe on to talk nerdy with us. We roved far and afield on the wide world of Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings universe. We stayed on topic, so I’ll call this one a win! This was a fun interview, so check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!
Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.
Co-Hosts:
JR Handley (Author) (Grunt)
Nick Garber (Comic Book Artist) (Super Grunt)
Madam Stabby Stab (Uber Fan) (Horror Nerd)

Wow. Hot chocolate. When Jesse mentioned it, I had to pause the video and go make something. It's Jan 21st in East Texas, and SNOWING. That's officially a hot chocolate kind of day.

Insanity!

Was not expecting a Chilton's manual reference. Hobbit was first, in 5th gr. Didn't even know about LOTR until high school.
