The Tolkien Professor's Hobbit Lecture Series Airs on Middle-earth Network Radio

Starting this Tuesday Tolkien fans will have a chance to brush up on their Hobbit lore. Middle-earth Network Radio will be broadcasting "The Tolkien Professor's" popular Hobbit Lecture Series every week for the next eight weeks, beginning with Lecture 1, "Took and Baggins". For those of you familiar with Corey Olsen's Hobbit lectures, you know this is exciting news, as the series had stalled half way through lecture 5 for over a year now. In the Professor's own words, "People should tune in from the start for a refresher course, and then they can go right through to the long-awaited end of the series, week by week."  


The lectures are airing at 8 AM & PM EST on Tuesdays, starting this Tuesday, June 28th.
