About this episode

In this episode of the I Can't Sleep Podcast, fall asleep learning about J. R. R. Tolkien. He's a pretty interesting individual and has been very influential in the literary world. However, just reading the date range people lived is enough to put me out. I hope you enjoy this episode. Happy sleeping!
