Summary

The minstrel’s voice rises like silver and gold, and all men were hushed; except for The Man of the West who just won’t stop talking. Join Alan and Sara as we find a golden ring that can’t be melted in our second episode on The Field of Cormallen. Frodo and Sam have done the impossible, and that makes them mighty; Aragorn is humble; and Pippin is… well, Pippin. We talk about this being the eucatastrophe, peer into Legolas’ future, and listen to the best song you’ll never hear. Also, Alan butchers some Old English.

1:04.0	Or is that all my wishes have come true?
1:08.0	I think it's that.
1:09.0	I'm Sarah Brown, Shield Maiden of Rohan, and I'm here with the man of the West who really ought to leave the lay singing to the professional minstrels, Alan Sisto.

1:39.6	Rings. No matter how you arrive folks you are all welcome here in the common room at the
1:45.1	prancing pony podcast we are reading and talking our way through Middle Earth with
1:49.5	plenty of speculation and bad jokes along the way. Now we do love our deep dives into the
1:55.2	lore we love talking about our favorite themes and a whole lot more. Yeah but we
1:59.2	try to keep it light and fun like a couple of old mates chatting at the pub and we're really glad you joined. Are you calling me old?

2:11.0	Say nothing. Yeah, exactly.
2:13.0	Now, we're pretty sure you're going to be glad you joined us as well, but before we get to tonight's
2:16.7	chapter discussion, it's time to welcome one of our listeners to The North Wing.
2:20.8	Well, today I'm pleased to bring you a new installment of The North Wing.
2:28.0	Now, we know that Barlem and Butterbur had a room or two in the North Wing at the Prancing Pony Inn that he made special for
