Happy Holidays, everyone! Caity and Sarah are back with a festive lil episode; a gift in the darkest time of the year. In November, we got to see each other in the flesh in the lovely city of Boston, MA, where we plotted the new season of the pod and shopped for old books (of course). We're so looking forward to being back regularly, but until then, we've got a bit of Christmas cheer for you.This episode features a round-up of some Amazon casting news (dubious at best), why we ourselves can't be cast (a disappointment for all), a seasonal Shadowfact on the calendars of Middle-earth and Yule in the Shire, and a reading of one of Tolkien's Father Christmas Letters. So grab a mug of hot chocolate and a cozy blanket and spend a bit of the Christmas holiday with us! 🧝🏻‍♀️🎄🧝🏻‍♀️
