We have a very interesting Words of Brandon episode for you today. Last month, Brandon did an interview with Winter is Coming, and in the Reddit thread, Brandon elaborated about some of his intentions with Wind and Truth, and addressed some critiques of the book. He talks about the choice of champion, humor and modern language, and the Jasnah debate. We just had to responds to a lot of these thoughts!

This episode we have Eric (Chaos), Joshua (jofwu), Verónica (Cheyenne Sedai), Adim (AAKS), and Bonnie (Cosmeregirl)!
