WELCOME TO SAD KITCHEN. WE'RE ALL SAD HERE.

Transcript

​We're on the HIIIIGHWAAAY TO HELL. Or Caemlyn, or whatever. This week we're joining Rand and Mat as they spread the gleeman's gospel with a bunch of farmers and inn patrons. There's cow whispering. There's deus ex machina. Most of all, there's the power of friendship.

Transcript

We're finally wrapping up Perrin's points of view, which means we get to ditch the Whitecloaks! At least until book two. Discussion topics include Nynaeve seducing Lan via woodcraft, That's How We Do on Game of Thrones, and Byar as Hannah Arendt's "banality of evil."

Transcript

Sorry for the long episode, folks. We just got so caught up in our discussion of steddings, statues, Sting, and Galad's tight, tight bod. Downright captivating stuff.

Transcript

We were both sick when we recorded this, so please excuse any coughs, sneezes, or tears that slipped through the editing process. Fittingly, we spent most of this episode talking about mercy-killing. Please, Perrin. The Mucinex isn't working. Use your axe on us.

Transcript

We took a week off from our usual recording schedule, but never fear: we've still got that sweet, sweet WoT content for you. Sally listens to and reviews Robert Berry's "A Soundtrack for the Wheel of Time," and Emily refuses to believe that someone actually Did That. Listen along on Spotify.

Transcript

We're hanging out with the Tinkers this week, and you know what that means: a LONG conversation about sexy dancing. We also wonder about the significance of music in Wheel of Time, weigh in on the passive-aggressive war over Perrin's axe, and worship Egwene: Flirtation Queen. ​

Transcript

We're baaaaack! To Perrin and Egwene, that is. Elyas, a wolf-telepathic wild man they just met, has agreed to guide them to Caemlyn, which isn't sketchy at ALL. In this episode we talk mostly about the Tuatha'an, their real-world parallels, and how they deserve better than being a metaphor in Perrin's inner​ conflict about violence.

Transcript

In our second installment of the "Thom and His Backup Dancers: Rand and Mat" saga, we reach Whitebridge! We talk about ancient architecture, the Illian Timeline, and Thom passing on his Bard-en. Oh, and that dream sequence we completely skipped last week.​

Transcript

In this episode we take a minute (or ten) to explain why we hate Rand - though we're also willing to admit he has some good qualities, particularly in this sequence. While Mat goes full Smeagol, we're dealing with pirates, flute-playing, and the epic fantasy tradition of dividing magic and technology. ​
