LOTR Chat: Discussing "Queer Readings of LOTR Are Not Accidents"

You don't have to have read the article first!

We have a blast with this discussion of Tolkien's context for Sam and Frodo's romance (that is thoroughly textual). The discussion centers around Molly Ostertag's amazing Polygon article called "Queer Readings of The Lord of the Rings Are Not Accidents" and although we highly recommend reading it, you don't have to have read the article to listen to the episode. We hope you are as inspired as we are by her impressive (and entirely canonical) analysis and artwork!
