The Incomparable Mothership

596: Tom Bombadilification

Listen Later

More than three decades since the Wheel of Time book series began, it’s arrived as a TV series on Prime Video. We discuss the first season with the help of our resident Wheel of Time book expert and three non-book-readers. How much is or isn’t it the “next Game of Thrones?” Why would it need to be be? And how does a book series that was wildly progressive for the 1990s approach a modern audience?

"The Wheel of Time" season 1

Moisés Chiullán with Glenn Fleishman, John Siracusa and Kathy Campbell
