In this episode, Sarah and Caity have a very special guest on - Caity's sister Anna! Anna is a professional opera singer and bona fide music nerd, so we had her on to discuss Howard Shore's gorgeous score to Peter Jackson's LOTR Trilogy. We also discuss recent news, as usual, and our Shadowfact this week answers the question "Why do I have to read so many songs when I read The Lord of the Rings??" Sorry for any Khuzdul singing attempted in this episode
