Ok, once and for all ARE SAM AND FRODO AN ITEM??? Frodo is lookin slim and trim after his close brush with death. Arwen is briefly introduced, she has nothing to say for herself, but Frodo is quite taken. Gandalf is back and as sassy as ever! 

What's Taters? - A LOTR Podcast

Frodo at the Pearly Gates

The episode in which Arwen is not featured. (We attempt to mask our disappointment) Frodo is trying to recover from his slicing, and the only thing that helps is to spill the tea. And the caress of an elf...? Are Aragorn and Santa Claus one and the same? The answers to these and more questions lie within the minutes of this episode. BTW we're back for good. 

"Wait, Where's Arwen?"

There's a damsel in distress, and it's Frodo (again). Pippin is deciding between a career in beer pong or Hobbit law, better start studying for that LSAT, bruh. Emaciated Strider proves his worth by sniffing stones and once more proving that Frodo is the apple of his eye. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatstaters_lotr/

Cutlery in the Dark, Part II

All ye with down pillows, beware! Not all creatures wish well for your plump bolsters. In other news, the hobbits venture out of Bree with hot stuff, long shanks, Strider. What ever happened to not talking to (or traveling with) strangers? Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatstaters_lotr/

Cutlery in the Dark, Part I

Welcome to our 10th episode of What's Taters! In this chapter we learn a little bit more about our mysterious Strider, including that he may not be quite as hot as we thought! Lots of secret chats make Frodo and the hobbits the center of Bree gossip. Gandalf breaks his silence, leaving Frodo's heart torn. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com

Strider

Our Hobbits finally make it to Bree - but what they're not expecting is who they meet there. Frodo gets a little carried away and gains a reputation for himself, and an embarrassing one at that! Join us as we discuss the most fabricated love story you've ever heard. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatstaters_lotr/

At the Sign of the Prancing Pony *love story*

Ok, ok, TECHNICALLY it's "Fog on the Barrow-Downs." But a lot goes down in the trouser department in this episode. We get an intimate insight into Sam's persona...at least that's what we like to believe. It's a straightforward kidnapping gone a little awry, but never fear Tom is STILL here.

Fog on the Tighty-Whities

Were you insecure in high school? (is that even a question?) We hate Friday Night Lights! Elijah Wood is not highly educated, but he is highly loveable. Join us as we do NOT discuss LOTR. (oops!) 

The House of Tom Bombadil (but not rly)

Is Tolkien a user? Is this willow tree an abuser? Trees are groping while Tolkien is toking. Tom “The Bomb” Bombadil comes barrelling into the story. Apparently, he’s hiding quite the hottie back at home. 

The Old Forest (LSD trip)

Somebody get these hobbits a rubber duck — its bath time! Frodo is about as good at keeping a secret as Kristen Stewart is at acting. Thus commences the saga of Frodo’s “betrayal”. Although Frodo dreams of a Cabo Spring Break, he’s actually setting off for Mordor; he just doesn’t know it yet. 

A Conspiracy Unmasked

In this episode of What's Taters, Krista and Mikala are joined by their very first guests! Simeon and Emily Willard are long time friends, a newly married couple, and most importantly, Lord of the Rings aficionados. Join us as we boisterously discuss Chapter 4, A Shortcut to Mushrooms, in which we learn about Frodo's delinquent past, and the hobbits reveal their true passion...can you guess what it is?Also, we really hope you've watched The Heat by now... 

A Shortcut to Mushrooms

Frodo makes poor real estate choices. The hobbits get skeeved out by a couple of shady dudes. Sam meets his idols, but they turn out to be major smart-asses. Join Krista and Mikala as they discuss Chapter 3 of The Fellowship of the Ring, whilst fan-girling over Sandra Bullock. (what's YOUR favorite Sandra movie??) 

Three is Company (and Sandra makes four)

Gandalf gives us a history lesson, second only to a Professor Binns' "History of Magic" lecture. Frodo has ants in his pants about the whole Mordor thing. Sneaky Sam gets rebuked by Middle Earth's most savage wizard. Frodo is a contestant on Hobbiton's own Fear Factor, when Gandalf disregards all safety precautions related to molten metal. Learn two thousand years worth of history in under one hour in this CliffsNotes narrative. 

The Shadow of the Past

After planning a bday bash for literally months, Bilbo dips out early and totally disses all of his guests. They are not super chill about it, but at least they have beer to drown their sorrows. Some of them are hauled away in wheelbarrows, aka medieval Lyft. Btw, welcome to What's Taters, listen at your own leisure, like any good hobbit would. 

A Long-Expected Party

Why is Frodo so pig-headed sometimes? Is Gandalf ghosting him or is he just really busy? How do I get a friend group like Frodo's? Half-baked answers to these and more questions lie within the minutes of this podcast, hosted by two MN based sisters. Krista and Mikala will lead you through LOTR, chapter by chapter, and enthrall you with their insights and personal quandaries.
