39 – Back and There Again: Hompen Podcast Trilogy

December 9, 2014

The age of hobbits is about to end, as Jake, Tim, and Phil go through their own experiences in the past three years of Middle-Zealand’s most extrapolated, abused story from a book that should have just been one nice little movie. Join us on an overtly long and split-into-three-parts December special to debrief ourselves of this masterpiece of the art of dillydallying.
