About this listen

When the evil dragon Smaug sleeps in his stolen kingdom and treasure, a group of Dwarves seek out the help of wise Gandalf the Grey to help them retrieve it. Little did they know that Gandalf's plan all along was to leave the chances of regaining their home back to the most unassuming of all of Middle Earth's creatures: A Hobbit. Jason Crockett joins us today as we look back on this literary classic by one of our all time greatest writers. We're asking the tough questions. Why did Gandalf choose the Hobbits? Do we all have a side of the Hobbits inside of us? Will Jason take Benedict Cumberbatch's place as the actor of Smaug?


Thanks for listening!
