(You can also read a weekly column on <em>The Alabama Take</em> site every Thursday afternoon.)</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>After a short news break, the gang does as deep of a dive as they've ever done and this one is on <em>The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power</em> from Amazon Prime with two actual Tolkien scholars (31:14)!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Listen on the this site with the player above or in any podcast app by searching for <em>Taking It Down</em>.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
