Episode 3 of Riddles in the Dark airs tomorrow at 10am EST on MENet Radio. This week’s topic will be The Battle of Azanulbizar! We will cover what Tolkien tells us about the battle and the dwarves and golbins involved and speculate on whether and how the battle will make the transition to the screen.
