Bilbo loses the comfort of his home and finds that the Tookish side of his mind is starting to overcome the Baggins side

We discuss:

* The three things that pushed Bilbo over onto the Took side of his personality.
* How the Dwarven song of the Misty Mountain helps us glimpse the greater world of Middle-earth that Tolkien hadn’t integrated into The Hobbit yet.
* Golf! (and Tolkien’s philological jest)
* How Tolkien took the 3 things that defined him and created the Hobbit from it.

In our extended episode (available for our members [https://theonering.com/members]) we talk about:

* Did Tolkien explicitly establish Middle-earth as part of our own Earth’s past anywhere outside of The Hobbit?
* How little Tolkien changed The Hobbit from the earliest manuscript he wrote (that we know of).
