Part 9: Dunharrow
Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) muster what forces they can at Dunharrow, though it's less than half of what they expected.

We welcome our friend Wilf (@socialaskan) to discuss the study of history and the various pedagogies that inform how we conceive of the past, and how that plays out in JRR Tolkien's framing of the The Lord of the Rings and Legendarium, as well as the Peter Jackson's "end of history" take for the films!
