No one likes nasty surprises. Like when your favourite artist brings out a concept album, but on listening should probably have been kept as just an idea. That's why with Quick Check, you can check if you're eligible for a Capital One credit card without affecting your credit score, and you'll always know the API you'll get before applying. Credit with no nasty surprises. That's one good

thing. Search Capital One. 34.9% APR representative variable. T's and Cs apply. Being a marketer is no sweat.

You just have to manage dozens of channels, launch hundreds of campaigns, score thousands of leads and

okay fine, it's a lot of sweat.

Unless you have HubSpot's AI-powered marketing tools to help you do all that and more.

Good evening, Little Masters, and welcome to episode 350 of the Prancing Pony podcast where the stewardship became hereditary as a kingship.

Well, it's a good thing. That's not the case here on PPP with your co-hosts, Alan.

Actually, maybe it should.

I mean, I'm not going to... Are you going to be dying as one of the childless stewards there, Don?

Well, when you put it like that, I don't want the job anymore.

Folks, pull up a bench in the common room and join us.

I am Don Marshall, the obscure Lord of the Rings Facts guy, and I am here with the man of the West

who is thoroughly enjoying the days of the watchful peace, Alan Cisto.

That's right, eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow. The Uruks take Goss Gileath.

Folks, join us as we finish Appendix A14, this time looking at the nearly 1,000 year period

of the stewards ruling in Gondor,

and I promise the episode won't take a thousand years.

And yet we will still have even more letters and numbers after the appendices that I can't

keep track of.

No matter how you arrived here, you are all welcome here in the common room at the Prancing

Pony podcast.
