Welcome to Episode 19 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "Gandalf's Worst Mistake". 'The murder of Déagol haunted Gollum, and he had made up a defence, repeating it to his “Precious” over and over again, as he gnawed bones in the dark, until he almost believed it.' In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as Gandalf explains how he began to track Gollum but made a critical mistake. SECTION START: “You have seen Gollum?” exclaimed Frodo in amazement. SECTION END: “...down at last to the land of Mordor.” EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: - Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien - John R - KG - Eärendil Hope WATCH THE VIDEO » https://youtu.be/SzlQPpN21Kk WATCH AD-FREE » https://www.patreon.com/posts/111572956 LISTEN AD-FREE » https://www.patreon.com/posts/111622468?pr=true FOLLOW & SUPPORT THE TOLKIEN ROAD: PATREON » SUPERFANS!
