Swords & Space Radio originally started as part of the Restoration Radio network before moving to AMDG Radio.  This episode was recorded prior to that move.

This week we discuss one of the all-time classic tales of fantasy fiction, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. We will be focussing on the novel, and its roots in Anglo-Saxon mythology, but some mention of the recent Peter Jackson film will no doubt be inevitable.

Your host Nicholas Wansbutter will be joined by Matthew Zepf of Brav’s Index, a newly launched science fiction and fantasy website. He holds a degree in Rhetoric and Literature at the University of Waterloo and is a passionate writer of sci fi and fantasy.
