Fictional FrontiersAs many of you know, TheOneRing.net has been contributing bi-weekly Tolkien updates for ‘To Be Continued… with Sohaib and Stuart,’ a pop culture show on WNJC 1360 AM, Philadephia. For a variety of reasons, not the least of which was the content of the show before ‘To Be Continued…,’ TheOneRing.net will now be providing that same segment on a new show called ‘Fictional Frontiers with Sohaib,’ featuring host the very same Sohaib Awan. This show will air in a more family friendly time slot, 11AM-NOON ET on the same station, WNJC 1360 AM, Philadephia. The first show will be this week and we hope you can join us for some interesting talk about Tolkien, The Hobbit, maybe some prizes and more! As always, the show will be streamed live for those of you who live outside Philadelphia. [Fictional Frontiers] [Netcast]
