In this episode, we discuss The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien, the beloved first volume of The Lord of the Rings. As we follow Frodo and his companions on the first stage of their journey, we explore Tolkien's rich vision of a world where evil leaves its mark on everything it touches, yet goodness, beauty, and hope endure.

Along the way, we reflect on the surprising courage and humility of the hobbits, the power of friendship in the face of darkness, and Tolkien's gift for storytelling. We consider why this story continues to resonate with readers and what it reveals about courage, sacrifice, fellowship, and perseverance in a fallen world.
