Podcasts about hobbits

The Lord of the Rings is a profound parable about letting go—and the perils that befall those who refuse to do so. Allow Tolkien to illuminate the Gospel invitation to detachment and trust.

“Fellowship” is an outdated term that doesn't get used much unless you are working at a University or are really into Hobbits. But it was a concept tightly woven into much of church life in past generations. Join us as we examine the concept of Fellowship, unpack how it has been used for harm in the past and think about what it might mean to reclaim the concept of Fellowship for the Church today.

In this revisit of one of our episodes of The Manly Catholic, James sits down with self-educated philosopher, entrepreneur, and author Paul List to discuss his fascinating book, Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed (co-authored with Ali Ghafari). Paul shares how his own background in Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophy unlocked a hidden layer of Tolkien's mythology—one that standard academia completely misses.James and Paul pull back the curtain on a little-known piece of history: Tolkien's recruitment to Bletchley Park alongside Alan Turing, the father of modern artificial intelligence. Paul argues that Tolkien foresaw the rise of the "machine" and the ultimate devaluation of the human soul. Together, they break down the profound scholastic allegories hidden within Middle-earth, revealing how characters like Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, and the Hobbits represent the human will, intellect, and the four cardinal virtues fighting against the binary grip of Mordor.Grab your coffee, settle in, and get ready for a heavy dose of metaphysics, philosophy, and Catholic theology.More information on our July 18th retreat: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/be-not-afraid-tickets-1990722085346?utm_experiment=test_share_listing&aff=ebdsshios&sg=971f65d335cc9833bf189251f7767799fa6cacd230acbd302d443b330259422f51146961ef2616ab3ef4b161e3d7dba5070d12f53ad8efb154cb339fce0a9f707edfb84be6b6cc2d4a209600b0Subscribe to our Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ Check out our website (themanlycatholic.riverside.com/)Shop our https://the-manly-catholic-store.checkoutstores.com/ Get delicious coffee from https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/ Download https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/ to access the incredible TAN Library!

Où l'on parle des Hobbits, mais aussi de modélisation 3D.

Not just Independence Day, but all month long, American citizens are celebrating our nation's semiquincentennial called “America 250.” Other fans from around the world are joining in! But some folks, of course, feel uncertain about such patriotism. Don't our countries have a lot of problems? Isn't our eternal citizenship in Heaven? Let's explore how Scripture endorses “the glory and honor of the nations.” And let's recall how fantastical stories illustrate this good love of our country.[1.

Why some struggle to love their homeland We'll disclaim illegitimate hatred or homeland, called oikophobia. Some prefer imaginary or opposite “homes” rather than real ones. Still others are rank traitors for bad reasons, and can be rejected. Yet more legitimately, “home” has a bad stigma for some people. We must not let “home was bad for me” turn into “it's bad for all.” Nor should we let this impulse turn into “the nation is bad for all.” Yes, a few countries are built on truly wicked foundations. But most are not—certainly not those with listeners to us now. Even if people do like America, however, they may feel guilty. A similar impulse occurs to Christians who like other earthly gifts. “Our treasure is in heaven, so nothing here on Earth matters.” Subtle gnosticism: if it all burns, why value these temporal places? 2. How stories remind us of good homelands Naturally we begin with the classics by authors who loved England. Lewis and Tolkien saw bad battles and offered critiques at home. But their stories remind us how good heroes fight for their peoples. Hobbits foresee the danger to the Shire and leave home to stop it. Aragorn loves his people and his country, despite their flaws. Faramir doesn't love weapons but “that [land] which they defend.” Narnia's kings and allies fight for her and for other good countries. The Horse and His Boy is about the good country of Archenland. Even harsh Calormenes, opposed to Narnia, have good qualities. Classic sci-fi by the French Jules Verne honors American spirit. Japanese stories adore American heroes, and we return the favor. On this side of the pond, stories show America's flaws and heroes. Independence Day (1996) shows a pulpified-U.S. fighting aliens. Transformers and Top Gun movies tend to follow that tradition. Overtly “patriotic” stories are more about flavor, not philosophy. Back in the UK, Stephen thinks Harry Potter shows this differently. Spoilers: Harry learns Prof. Dumbledore made a lot of mistakes. Yet the grown-up Harry chooses to stay on his mentor's side. And really, such open-eyed loyalty is the root of good patriotism. 3. And yes, good countries could last forever. These are good enough reasons to love even temporal gifts. But let's add more. I believe great nations are in fact eternal. Why? Because of direct promises about eternity in Scripture. By [the city's] light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. Revelation 21: 24-26 John could have said “earthly kingdoms get destroyed.” He didn't. He clearly means us to think that earthly authorities can continue. And he specifically says “the glory and the honor of the nations.” It would appear that nations (groups of people) are not sinful. New Earth is the fulfillment of God's original purpose for Earth. So why not New Israel? New India? New Britain? New America? Could the “glory and honor” include fireworks? Hot dogs? Ideas? Jesus is King of all eternity. Yet other “kings” will also be known. Other verses refer to saints having leadership in the New Earth. Could some lands try different models? Monarchy? Democracy? Perhaps in the New Earth, we'll see the best of all those systems. Voting could continue, in some ways, certainly at smaller scales. If this seems weird, recall that nations are just large people groups. No prophecy implies a removal of today's diversity of humans. Nor does it imply that everyone will love everyone else the same. New Earth will not sanctify “everyone belongs to everyone else.” Surely, after loving Jesus most, we'll also love others differently. You'll love your own family “more” than other people's families. And if you were married, you'll love him or her more than others. So it is with countries. It's okay, even good, to have preferences. We want people to like their own spouses/families/countries most. So if that impulse will be right forever, it can also be right today. For more, read this: Why I Look Forward to America 250,000. Com station Top question for listeners Have you ever struggled to love your homeland? Next on Fantastical Truth Lots of folks have said plenty about Christopher Nolan's controversial retelling of Homer's classic The Odyssey. We might see the movie. Or we might not. In either case, this book is an absolute cornerstone not just of human literature, but of fantastical fiction. How did this hero's journey change the course of all other heroic legends after him?

How do we hold on to hope and a sense of meaning when life is difficult? We'll explore what the psychiatrist Viktor Frankl discovered in his search for Meaning and look into how it can be relevant today in our everyday lives.Dr. Frankl was imprisoned in a concentration camp during WWII and fascinated by the power of hope for humans as meaning-seeking beings and Professor of Sociology, Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org. The library contains over two thousand lectures and discussions that explore questions about the reality and relevance of Christianity.

Gandalf the wizard as an Old Testament prophet? Hobbits as intercessory priests? Aragorn as a messianic king? Dr. Philip Ryken, president of Wheaton College, joins Brian in the studio to uncover the rich Gospel themes in J.R.R. Tolkien's iconic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. While Tolkien famously insisted his work was not an allegory, Dr. Ryken explains how the author's faith and theological imagination imbued the text with profoundly Christian motifs—most significantly, “the threefold office of Christ” depicted through several of the story's central characters.Check out Dr. Ryken's book, The Messiah Comes to Middle-Earth: Images of Christ's Threefold Office in The Lord of the Rings:https://www.ivpress.com/the-messiah-comes-to-middle-earth-ebook?srsltid=AfmBOoqIanzXkiPyRO2X4rIxKb0kBGrYOE-fWxYlRUj0R3WN1_0knL92Dr. Ryken has published more than 50 books and he serves as president of Wheaton College: https://www.wheaton.edu/about-wheaton/leadership/president-rykenDr. Brian Doak is an Old Testament scholar and professor: https://www.georgefox.edu/academics/undergrad/departments/religion/faculty/doak.htmlIf you enjoy listening to the George Fox Talks podcast and would like to watch, too, check out our channel on YouTube!

Estamos seguros que, al igual que nosotros, alguna vez se plantearon de donde surgieron seres legendarios como los Dragones, el Kraken, o incluso los Hobbits. O por que la gente de mar es tan supersticiosa con olas y tormentas.

Where were you, when we did our Movie Reviews #62?!
Right here apparently.Sorry that's the tag line for American Graffiti in case everyone didn't get it.
Movin on, 8 movies today 
 1.(Traffic 1971)
Here we have a film by the Famous French director Jacques Tati. I guess Jaques did some amazing and ground breaking films in the 40's 50's and 60's, annnnd then there's this one about people goin on a road trip to promote a vehicle that can do it all, I think, memory is foggy. 
 2.(The Front Page 1974) Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Carol Burnett, and the guy who works for Doc Hopper in the muppet movie star in yet another movie based off of a play.
3.(A Very Natural Thing 1974) This is not a documentary about the early gay liberation front movement in the early 70's, but it is close. Movie has real protest and Pride footage, and you can basically see the meetings and discussions that took place to create the narrative that we see on the screen. Amazing film unburied after all these years.
4. (Between the Lines 1977) Here Jeff Gollum is young and on speed or something. Film takes us through some time with a radical newspaper as it is about to be bought by a major label, can these rads keep their street credit, and will Jeff take a well needed nap.
5. (A Bridge too Far 1977) Oh Mylanta they chucked a lot of dough on the screen, it's like 300 extras parachuting at the same time oh my. We all liked this war movie very much but this is NOT based off of a play, but based off of a war!Almost every male actor working at the time appears in this for at least 30 seconds.
6. (The Hobbit 1977) Don't think you need 7 hours of a blurry cgi mess to tell us what this tells us all. Hobbits are the shit! Love your home, protect your home. Love your friends, protect your friends, AND that war is flipping Stupid and gross!
7. (The Special Olympics 1978) You tube copy of this is astoundingly unwatchable, listen and we'll tell you all about it. It is a shame and should be fixed, because this film is quite worthy of being seen, and not just for Charles Durning fans like us.
8. (Sooner or later 1979) Terrible ending to what I thought was a very charming and campy coming of age film. Gross pervy studio executive strikes again I think. Michael Skye band though!
as always thanks film fans!

In this episode of WCAT TV's discussion of Mount Doom, author Paul List and Tolkien scholar Joseph Pierce discuss their interpretations of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" through a Thomistic lens.Paul emphasizes the book's themes of original sin, mortal sin, and the fear of death, linking characters like Tom Bombadil and Goldberry to the rational will and intellect. Joseph praises the book's comprehensive analysis but cautions against reductionism, suggesting that Tolkien's work is broader and more nuanced. They also discuss the potential impact of artificial intelligence and the importance of preserving Catholic tradition. Both agree on the significance of Tolkien's work in addressing contemporary spiritual and technological challenges. The discussion explores the connections between J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and the themes of technology, artificial intelligence, and Christian faith.Paul highlights Tolkien's prescience, particularly his understanding of Alan Turing's concepts, which influences the portrayal of Sauron and the Eye of Sauron. Joseph emphasizes the importance of reading Tolkien's work as a story and of recognizing its deeper Christian themes, such as the long defeat and the ultimate victory of good over evil. Both agree on the need to return to faith and the dangers of worshiping technology.Concerning the book under discussion:In Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed, Paul List and Ali Ghaffari present a bold reinterpretation of J.R.R. Tolkien's mythology, arguing that a hidden philosophical and spiritual framework underlies The Lord of the Rings. Drawing from Catholic theology, Thomistic philosophy, psychology, and cultural criticism, the authors explore Tolkien's legendarium as a prophetic warning about technology, artificial intelligence, idolatry, and the crisis of the modern soul. This provocative study challenges readers to see Middle-earth—and themselves—in an entirely new way. Concerning the speakers:Paul List is co-author with Ali Ghaffari of Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed. Drawing on years of study in philosophy, theology, mythology, and Tolkien's legendarium, Paul has developed a bold and deeply original interpretation of Tolkien's work—one that connects The Lord of the Rings to questions of metaphysics, technology, artificial intelligence, and the spiritual crisis of modern civilization. His work challenges readers to reconsider Tolkien not only as a master storyteller, but also as a prophetic thinker speaking directly to our own age.Joseph Pearce, one of the world's leading Catholic literary scholars and biographers. A prolific author, editor, and speaker, Joseph has written extensively on J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and many of the great literary voices of the Christian tradition. His work has helped countless readers rediscover the spiritual, philosophical, and theological depth embedded within great literature.

Our biggest local con starts today, Fan Expo Denver. Over the past 10+ years, it has become a juggernaut. Some highlights this year, for me at least, include a pretty comprehensive Scream and Goonies reunion, most of the cast of The Boys, all the Hobbits, and a huge amount of voice actors, including Michael Bell, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, and Matthew Wood. It has ballooned to a 4-day event. We'll do our shopping early today, then we do panels most of the time, and we'll squeeze in the exhibit floor as we have time. One of our favorite things to do is hit up celebrity row. Or I should say rows, nowadays. Since we're not big autograph people, we're too cheap, we love just walking that area and seeing our favorite celebs interacting with fans, hanging out, or even just being on their phones.

The Medieval Revival of the 1960s and '70s coincided and communicated closely with the LOTR books' surge in popularity at that time.Hippies and other sects of 1960s counterculture adopted the Shire and the Hobbits as their own, and produced expressions of art and culture that Tolkien was really kind of a curmudgeon about. In this episode we explore how medievalism (or MODievalism) permeated 1960s pop culture, in art, literature, media, and fashion. We also look at how different versions of Middle Earth were envisioned by various artists, from those influenced by the hippies' love for the books, to the artist Alan Lee, whose work reflected a reverence for Tolkien's particular preferences and went on to influence the aesthetics of the Peter Jackson films.See the images we reference on our Instagram.Further Reading:LitHub article on Alan Lee's illustrationsAmerican Cinematographer article on visualization in the Jackson filmsCollection of Tolkien's own drawings and paintingsSampling of LOTR book coversHobbits and Hippies article from BBCAnti-War Adoption of The Lord of the Rings paperMedieval revival of the 1960s and 1970s blog post

Aviation Week editors discuss the increase in projected Golden Dome costs and what the fiscal 2027 Pentagon budget request may tell us about the umbrella program.

We're starting a new season and a new series, looking at all things "handed down." How do heirlooms, heritage, inheritance (and the like) play into Tolkien's world (and specifically into his stories)? We start out this week looking at the Hobbits and all of the things Bilbo hands down to Frodo (his home, his ring, his adventuring gear, and also his 'Tookish' adventuring spirit).

Luxury calculators and something doesn't add up in the new Spider-Man trailer

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle kicks things off by recounting a recent trip he and Luke took to San Antonio for a horror festival—an event packed with eerie atmosphere, strange encounters, and plenty of inspiration for the unexplained.From there the show dives straight into a series of chilling listener stories. One woman shares a disturbing encounter deep in the woods of West Virginia, where she claims to have stumbled upon what appeared to be a clan of feral people living far from civilization. Another strange report comes out of rural Arkansas, where a witness describes a large, Bigfoot-like creature sneaking onto her property and stealing chickens in the dead of night.After the break, Kyle explores a far more unsettling corner of folklore and legend—the terrifying side of the world's little people.Most people imagine these beings as harmless figures from fairy tales: gnomes beneath toadstools, fairies dancing in moonlit glades, pixies darting through the trees like sparks of light. Across many cultures, these small humanoids are said to dwell in hidden corners of the world, quietly watching from forests, caves, and ancient hillsides. But not all of the stories paint such a gentle picture.Kyle examines darker legends of mysterious tiny beings reported across the globe. From the eerie tales of the Ebu gogoon the Indonesian island of Flores, to the clawed, nocturnal river creatures of Cuba known as the Guije, and the mysterious underground builders of Hawaii called the Menehune.Along the way, the discussion even touches on the real-world discovery of Homo floresiensis, the tiny ancient humans uncovered on Flores—nicknamed “the Hobbits”—and the unsettling possibility that some legends may have deeper roots in reality than we once believed.From strange sightings in Epping Forest to bizarre wartime encounters on the windswept cliffs of Orkney Islands, tonight's episode explores the darker side of a legend most people think they understand.Sponsors:IQBAR: Right now, IQBAR is offering our special podcast listeners 20% off all IQBAR products, plus get FREE shipping.

Welcome to the first game review of 2026, and it’s a doozy. Fantasy Wargaming: The Highest Level of All, edited by Bruce Galloway, and published in 1981, is famous (notorious?) for clunky rules, odd premises, and far too much about how terrible the Dark Ages were. Despite no Halflings or Hobbits in the game, your Fab 4 Halflings review the game and blame DM Mike for choosing it after years of threats to do so. Come for the Lions with one head and two bodies, stay for the Devil Worship! No PCs were harmed in the making of this podcast, though female PCs are pretty ticked off!

*VIDEO AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY AND YOUTUBE*This week on The Sisters of the Shire Podcast, we're still riding the high from an absolute blast at Fan Expo Portland — because yes, we met the Hobbits in real life and we are not emotionally recovered. We're sharing what the convention was like, the moments that made us lose all composure, the unexpected highlights, and why Tolkien fans might just be the best people on the planet. From celebrity encounters to nerdy joy overload, this episode is a cozy, chaotic recap of a weekend that felt straight out of every Tolkien Nerd's dream. Settle in, laugh along with us, and relive the magic of Fan Expo Portland through our very excited, very hobbit-struck eyes.https://linktr.ee/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/sistersoftheshirepodcast/https://www.patreon.com/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/1HIhmdeX6761vi7RyOjl8f?si=_qwdGdP7SbmAP2RWlji54w

The Shameless Plug is never late. Nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to, roughly halfway through the on-sale cycle of the latest issue of Empire. To which, after all, this show is dedicated to shamelessly plugging. And once again, the Fellowship of the Plug — Chris Hewitt and Empire editor, Nick de Semlyen — have assembled in the Podmines of Moria for that plugging. You have Nick's microphone, and Chris' copy of Adobe Audition, and if the deluge of Lord Of The Rings references hadn't already clued you in, the duo are here to talk about issue 450 of Empire, which is dedicated to celebrating 25 years of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Rings. Nick regales us all with tales of reuniting the four Hobbits and Sir Ian McKellen, virtually collecting the rest of the Fellowship, plus Cate Blanchett, Liv Tyler, Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, and getting Andy Serkis to write a piece for us. It's not all LOTR, with tales of Raimi-wrangling, a bit of Gore, and a Gollum impression you will never be able to unhear. Simples. Enjoy!

What if The Lord of the Rings was never just a story?What if Tolkien was encoding a spiritual map for men living in the modern war for the soul?In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James Caldwell speaks with author and philosopher Paul List, co-author of Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed, to expose what Tolkien was really writing about: original sin, virtue and vice, artificial intelligence, and so much more.Paul reveals how Tolkien's mythology is a Catholic psychological map of the human soul. Hobbits as habits. The Ring as addiction. Sauron as AI. Middle-earth as the mind. Vice as Orcs. Virtue as the Fellowship. Faith and reason as elves and men.Temperance, fortitude, prudence, and justice as the cardinal virtues sent on a mission to destroy the Ring.This conversation connects Tolkien to Aquinas, Aristotle, St. Augustine, and how prophetic his beloved stories really are for the modern man.James also issues a direct challenge to men:Stop living passively. Clean up your habits. Reject pornography. Reject the virtual world. Build competence. Build virtue. Cultivate discipline. Become dangerous in holiness.This is not entertainment.This is formation.And neutrality is no longer an option.Push play if you're done being comfortable and ready to become dangerous for Christ.

Tiny Terrors (Part III) - Elves! Leprechauns! Imps! Goblins! Green Goblins! Hobgoblins! Hobbits! and Halflings! Just in time for the annual Halloween-Christmas special, Snobby Bobby and CRD reunite to discuss a more traditional tiny terror - the Rumpelstiltskin - more specifically the 1995 straight to video (probably) Mark Jones directed version. But before all that, they sensually express their love and friendship through gift giving and banter about movies people have already talked about on the internet.
