The Hobbit, Smaug, & Weak Power w/ Gregory Walter
Who doesn’t love J.R.R. Tolkien, the mythology of Middle Earth, and getting to see Smaug (the most EPIC of all dragons) on the big screen? If Led Zeppelin can sing about it and nerds can roll 12 sided dice about it, then it must be pretty awesome.

Who doesn’t love J.R.R. Tolkien, the mythology of Middle Earth, and getting to see Smaug (the most EPIC of all dragons) on the big screen? If Led Zeppelin can sing about it and nerds can roll 12 sided dice about it, then it must be pretty awesome. On Thursday February 6th we hosted a live video streaming podcast with Gregory Walter to nerd out about Tolkien’s world. It was an amazing conversation in which you get convo about the book, movie, and all the Middle Earth mythology.
Our guest is Dr. Gregory Walter, a professor of religion and Pro Grade Hobbiter. He is a professor at St. Olaf College and was recently on the podcast to discuss his new book Being Promised: Theology, Gift, and Practice. At the end of the podcast we realized our mutual love for the Hobbit and this podcast idea was born!
