  • Lock In Lock In Lock In Lock In

    I am that kind of person where Epic Poetry just kind of Works on me, so when the Shelob discussion turned into Michael going through a brief history of the Epic and reciting the openings of a half-dozen poems, the effect was akin to someone finding the “Lock In” button in my brain and slamming it over and over. Five star podcast, five star runtimes.
