Day: July 24, 2002
Today on Passport to Middle-earth on CJMQ 88.9 (for those in the Sherbrooke area, Quebec, Canada) we will talk about Hobbits! There is so much stuff to say about these little guys that today will be Hobbits? Part I and next week we will have Part II! We have put together a great show for today. We will explore the origin(s) of the word hobbit. Did Tolkien invent the word hobbit or not? We will review the history of the hobbits throughout the Third Age, from their arrival to the Vales of Anduin to their settling down in the Shire. We will also explore the laws and institutions of the Shire. So make sure you tune in, either on 88.9 FM or via the web at Passport to Middle-earth Also you can check our website:here
Some people just have all the luck! Long time Ringer fan Bri sends us this juicy tidbit:
Just wanted to pass a note…to inform ‘Ring’ fans out there…I stopped by my favorite DVD store, which shall remain secret 😉 , and they had just received their shipment of the DVD. They are the type of place that sells as soon as they get. Long story short, my precious DVD is in my hands….and it looks spectacular!!!
Fans are also reporting that Play.com lists the FOTR DVD available now and shipping in 24 hours. Interesting considering the DVD’s official release is not for 2 weeks. I have a feeling its a mistake…but since I can’t make international calls from my real job…I guess we’ll have to depend on you European Ringers to check up on it. Drop us a line at spymaster@theonering.net if you find anything out! Thanks!
