Join John and Patrick as they dive into the rich, agricultural tapestry of Middle-earth in this episode focused on the symbolic significance of fresh produce and farming in Tolkien’s world.
Explore how the idyllic Shire, with its abundance of gardens and homegrown foods, contrasts with the industrial blight of Isengard and the barren wastelands of Mordor. Through these contrasts, Tolkien reveals deeper themes about the battle between good and evil, and the moral compass of Middle-earth’s inhabitants.
We’ll also uncover how Tolkien’s own life experiences shaped these landscapes and delve into the surprising connections between iconic scenes and simple, everyday vegetables.
Whether you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, or The Rings of Power, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how food and farming are central to the moral fabric of Tolkien’s universe.
