A slight correction of one comment of Dr Jewell’s. He said Owen Barfield was an editor for Oxford UP, but that was Charles Wiiliams, who worked for OUP from 1908 till 1945. Barfield met CSL when they were both students in Oxford–though at different colleges–in 1919. He tried to make a living as a writer, but in 1934 he joined his father’s London law firm as a solicitor and worked there till he retired in 1965.
Thanks for an informative and enjoyable podcast!

We investigate the Hobbit settlement of Staddle, east of Bree. In the footsteps of the Fellowship of the Ring we trek east to Weathertop through the Midgewater Marshes and the Midgewater Pass.
What can we learn from hobbit hospitality? What purpose do the numerous ruins we see have? Why did Gandalf refer too the poem “All that is gold does not glitter”?
