All snuggled up in your Hobbit hole? Let’s get into some Hobbit Trivia for this week’s show. We covered The Lord of the Rings way, way back in Episode Four, so it’s high time we got to the original work by JRR Tolkien.

As always, it’s three rounds of ten questions each. Miss too many and there’s no second breakfast for you.

Also: 150 episodes! Seems like the episodes are just flying by.

There’s still time to check out the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Shop. Get something nice for the hobbit, elf, or dwarf in your life.
