392 – Help!

Aldarion watches everyone celebrate and party from the sidelines; Alan painfully recalls his awkward teenage years, while Sara isn’t sure those are over. Join The Man of the West and the Shieldmaiden of Rohan as we begin the eighth of what is now eleven episodes on the story of Aldarion and Erendis in Unfinished Tales. Aldarion gives Ulbar’s wife a kingly gift meant for someone else, Gil-galad writes the best letter ever (and doesn't even use AI!), and Meneldur finds himself not so self-assured. We agree that looking for a ‘seat of power’ could be a problem, decide the question of Gil-galad’s parentage seems to vanish in the haze, and conclude that “follow your dreams and tread on anybody who gets in your way” might not be good advice. Also, Alan’s sports analogies still don’t help. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
