    The Tom Woods Show (25 November 2014)

    Great conversation today with Jay Richards, co-author of The Hobbit Party: The Vision of Freedom that Tolkien Got and the West Forgot, about Tolkien as a writer and thinker, about themes in his work, about his views on liberty, religion, localism, and more, and about why he hated allegories. Have a listen! YouTube version below.
