I've been having email problems lately so Hawke's first attempt to advise me that the episode is available for download did not reach me.

As we recorded the fourth episode tonight, Hawke informed me that the second episode can now be downloaded from Middle-earth Radio.
Hawke's description of the show reads:

Michael Martinez and Hawke discuss J.R.R. Tolkien on this weekly broadcast/podcast. Overview of this show * Introductory music by The Starlit Jewel - Elvish Lullabye * Search for Gil-galad's car * Actors and New Line Cinema lawsuit settlement * Bruce Hopkins (PJ LotR Gamling) and Bernard Hill (PJ LotR Theoden) * Christopher Tolkien and J.R.R. Tolkien aerograms * News and commentary on the upcoming Hobbit movie with del Toro * And much more. * Ending music by Glass Hammer - "Dwarf and Orc"

If people would like to suggest topics or ask questions for us to discuss, please feel free to do so. You can send email to middleearthradio at gmail dot com.

Hawke will also start asking people to hang out in the MERP chatroom starting at 9:30 PM Pacific Time each Sunday to suggest questions, even though we're not yet ready to broadcast the shows live.

You can listen to a broad selection of Tolkien-related music at Middle-earth Radio.
