About this listen

In this episode, Andie and Kali cover the chapter, "On the Doorstep," and it's comparable section of Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy. This covers the point from when Thorin, Bilbo and company – more or less in the movie’s case – leave Lake-town to the moment when Thorin opens the secret door on the side of the mountain. The discussion includes:

  • Wait – how do we pronounce the dwarves names?
  • Taking a moment for the ponies of The Hobbit
  • When exactly is Durin's Day?
  • Gandalf, Thrain and Thrain's ring
