The show is on again today, and the topic this time is Wizards. You can listen to it on air or online. There’s only one more show after this, so don’t miss out. [More]
Here is what is happening on Passport to Middle-earth, on Wednesday August 14:
Today on Passport to Middle-earth on CJMQ 88.9 we will talk about the Istari (Wizards such as Gandalf and Saruman) and the Ents. We will demystify who are these wizards and explore their history, but we will also say a great deal about Gandalf since he is such an important character in the mythology of Middle-earth.
As for the Ents we will explore the mysteries of their arrival in Middle-earth, how the Elves came to “wake them up” and investigate the matter of the Entwives. So if you would like to know more about the Wizards of Middle-earth and the Ents, remember to tune in between 4pm and 6pm eastern time and listen to us either on the radio; CJMQ 88.9 FM in the Eastern Townships (Quebec, Canada) or via the web here
