Our Trip to New Zealand To See Middle Earth ft. Derek - Part 2 of 3

This is episode two of three special (AKA self-indulgent) bonus episodes designed to accompany our Lord of the Rings buddy-read discussions. Back in 2016, before 'the friends' became 'The Friends,' we went on a road trip through picturesque New Zealand to see filming locations for The Lord of the Rings movies directed by Peter Jackson.  This episode features another lifelong friend, Derek, the third member of our fellowship we call "The M-Crew." We're excited to introduce him to you, as we discuss events such as visiting the The Shire, climbing Mt. Doom, and much, much more! We highly recommend viewing this episode on our YouTube channel, as a big part of the conversation focuses on discussing photos and videos taken on our quest in a video chat.
