Episode 2.3 - Spotlight on Classics: The Hobbit

For our second spotlight episode, we’ve chosen another popular classic: J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Join us as we follow Bilbo Baggins along his journey, debate his motives, scrutinize his supporting cast, and, ultimately, tell you why this little “children’s book” is one of the greatest stories ever told. This episode discusses elements of Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey and seeks to understand how The Hobbit follows in old literary paths, but manages to tread many new ones along the way as well.
