Lyra, the powerful and terrible Namer who called her husband Lanre from beyond the doors of death, is this week's character! Join me as I probe what I think are two of the most interesting questions about her story: how did she resurrect Lanre, and, how did she die?? I also touch on the fan theory that Lyra is the Lady Lackless, and how Lyra and Lanre could parallel Kvothe and Denna.

I welcome The Trio onto ETRSOP as we discuss everyone's favorite pixie-faced gaelet, Devi!

We had a great time talking about Devi's lust for the archives, my hope that Devi and Mola are dating (and my hope for more queer content in all things), who Devi's clients are, if she might betray Kvothe, what Devi may have done to get kicked out, how women are treated differently than men at the University, and a WHOLE lot more. Thanks so much to Jeremy, Jordana, and Nick for joining me for this one!

What's in the Lackless box?? What's behind the Lackless door?? In this episode, I talk a bit about Meluan Lackless, and the tantalizing theories that she has inherited. We cover rhymes about the Lackless box; the similarities between the box, the Cthaeh, and the thrice-locked chest; the "doors of stone;" and more.

This episode is about two very important swords -- one we meet at the beginning of Name of the Wind, and one we meet toward the end of Wise Man's Fear. I talk about if Folly is Cinder's sword -- or perhaps is Caesura, remade; I ponder why these swords are given feminine pronouns; I read a bit from the books; and much, much more!

I know you have been as patient as two stones together, dear listeners! Will and Phoenix of podcast Tales from the Waystone join me this week via Zoom to talk about the enigmatic Auri. We have a wonderful chat about Auri's power, if she really could be Princess Ariel, and how she brings out some of the best in young Kvothe. 

SPOILER WARNING as usual this week, with the addition of "Slow Regard of Silent Things," which we get into! 

Find Will and Phoenix on Podbean or wherever you get your podcasts.

Our resident El'the and physicker is the subject of this week's pod! I talk about Mola's relationship with Devi, how she may lead Auri into danger, and an interesting theory I found on reddit that says Mola is the one who tries to kill Kvothe. 

I am now on Facebook and on Apple Podcasts! Thank you to my first reviewer for the five talents (stars)!

Only that which records can podcast.

Luckily, we don't need several weeks of "run, Ketan, walk, discuss" to reach Haert for this episode. I talk about Vashet, Ademre, kings, poets, poet kings, king killers, and grandma issues. 

SPOILER WARNING if you have not finished The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss! Also, my apologies for cat litter noises in the background. It adds a certain special something...

Marked as explicit content for some discussion of sexuality and how musicians are viewed by the Adem.

Next up is Fela!

SPOILERS for NotW and WMF! Please do not proceed if you haven't finished both books.

On our character profile journey, we'll start with "dark Laurian, Arliden's wife." Here I discuss the common theory that Laurian is really Netalia Lackless, talk about the Cthaeh's comments on her death, and more!
