A Return to the Shire: Why We Ought to Be More Like Hobbits | Fire in the Hearth (Ep. 31)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we return to LOTR and the Shire, and discuss why we ought to live more like hobbits in various ways. We discuss the virtue of ordinariness, the simple wonder of hobbit children, the proper role of government, and the beauty of hobbit-work. While they are not a utopian model for living (they have their vices, which we also discuss), there is still a beauty to their way of life that we can strive to imitate. Join us around the fire, wherever you may be.
