The Black Tower Podcast: A Wheel of Time Podcast

Andrew, Daniel, and Josh get together to talk about how Rand, Mat, and Perrin go from the simple Emond Field folk that we see in the begging, to masters of their crafts by the end of the series. Definitely not a spoiler free episode, however there's a pretty big announcement towards the end!

Odin is with us! Oh wait...no...no that's Josh. The beard confused us at first. Guess the lack of an eyepatch and ravens should have been big enough hints.....hmmm...anyway! Welcome back to another fantastic episode with the Boys in Black. With Josh back for this episode, Daniel and Andrew present as well, the Black Tower Podcast resumes it's discussion on Rand al'Thor. With spoilers through book 4 of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time epic fantasy series, we keep plugging along as we analyze and review the life of Rand. We don't plan on only doing two books per episode on Rand, but we also cannot do the disservice to our lovely listeners by just rushing through this. Who knows what next week's episode will be? But for now, be sure to enjoy this episode.

When you're done with this one, head on over to our YouTube channel and soak up the tainty goodness of our YouTuber panels, featuring other WoT content creators (mainly YouTubers)....now with video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-wtTg18nRE

All the boyz are back, baby, and we have a doozy for you this week. We are talking all things power related! That means angreal, sa'angreal, ter'angreal, and even some "greal" you didn't even know were a thing! It gets lively this week with two of the hosts having a wonderfully animated discussion on whether something is, or is not, something else!

Once you've listened (or maybe even while you listen) feel free to tweet what you thought (@Towerpodcast) or maybe throw something up on your Instagram story and tag us (@blacktowerpod) there's even a challenge this week, for those of you who are interested in partaking, by way of the #ashamanCROSSOVER hashtag.

See you all next week, and look out for more coming soon!

The rules of adulting leave no adult behind, and this time Josh was the victim. While Joshy Poo toils away making money for his family and playing with fun computers and stuff, Daniel and Andrew were able to get together and (certainly not a minute before recording) decide on a fun episode for this week. We've had Min....and Aviendha...and a lotttttt of Elayne. Well now it's time to bring him in. Yes, the episode some of you couldn't wait for, and the one that others wish never came. It's a whole episode on Rand, brought to you by most of your Bois in Black. Come along as we start Part One of a multi (no clue how long) series on the main main but also not main guy of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series. Don't worry though!! It wont be back to back Rand episodes. We've learned from Elayne and we're going to break up this episode with other topics and fun inbetween this multi part series that is also part of another series....all..stemming from...the source series? That was confusing, but you get what we mean!

All the boys are back, baby! Well, sorta...

This episode starts off with Daniel and Josh diving into a topic that has haunted the #dragonsworn for years, with Andrew coming in, in dramatic fashion, to weigh in, as well. We laugh a lot, give credit to greatness, rag on some things that could be better, and simply get closer as a brotherhood. (Pretty much what we do every week, Pinky.) Avatar: The Last Airbender makes an appearance and the movie quote is back, so come on down and have some fun!

Hey there, everyone! This morning's episode was one host down, just like last week, but it was a different host! Allergies, bad backs, naps that take too long, we're all falling apart in one way, or another, but we will consistently be with you, regardless.

This week, we talk about a fun little town in the series, that doesn't come up until pretty late in the game. A brain child of Brandon Sanderson trying, and succeeding, at getting a little grittier, but you'll need to tune in to find out where, and why it's important! Groundhog Day got nothing on this shit...

And, as always, we want to know what you think! Just, please, don't send us the same message every day until we break the loop... my heart can't take it. If you have something to say, let us know on our Twitter (@Towerpodcast), Instagram (@blacktowerpod), or email ([email protected].) Everything is on the table, the good, the bad, and Josh. (Just kidding, buddy.) Also, we really would appreciate, if any of you have time, hopping over to whatever site you get our podcast from and leaving a review. Certainly, not necessary, and your patronage is more than enough, but it helps us in a myriad of ways! If you aren't already on our Discord, come and see us, we have fun! (https://discord.gg/WqTcrWq)

For those of you looking to do a little extra, please come see what we have in store for our Patreons. It's coming up soon that the live episodes will be a Patreon exclusive benefit (as was always intended, but then the plague.) So, don't miss your opportunity to hear your three favorite Asha'man and their zany hijinks as they happen. It's only $1 a month, what a steal! And last, if you want to look decked out in Black Tower awesomeness, take a pop over to our spreadshirt page and get yourself some swag. You'll want it for when you come see us in October...

Daniel had to sit this one out, but we couldn't leave you guys hanging without an episode! Andrew and Josh were able to get together and chat for a good while. We started off with a correction to something we got wrong in our last two episodes or so. (Thank you listeners for pointing it out and helping us get it right!) Then we moved into chatting about three of the smaller details in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. What things are they? How small could they be? Are they satisfying? Well....we will let you be the judge of that.

A reminder for our listeners, if you are in our Discord, you can tune in to our recordings live for the rest of the month of July. After July 29th, 2020 listening in live will return to being a Patreon only benefit!

Stay safe out there all. We love ya!

We asked and you guys answered! Our polls on Instagram and Twitter overwhelmingly showed us that our listeners wanted more Aviendha.....so here we go with more Aviendha! We finished the deep dive into Aviendha's character, history, and development within Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time last episode. This time, we try and take a more philosophical look into Avi, mainly through some things she sees. The spoiler warning here covers the entire series, as is so often the case with our episodes. So grab yourself your favorite drink, sit back, relax, and enjoy some more love for Bae......we mean, Aviendha.

Before we get into the episode itself, there are some exciting announcements that take place in about the first thirty minutes here, so make sure you listen to all of that amazing stuff. Then....the taintiness you've been waiting and hoping for.

Aviendha...Far Dareis Mai of the Nine Valley Sept of the Taardad Aiel. One of the most notable characters from Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. She fights. She stabs. She....tames Dragons? Aviendha is an amazing window into the more intricate parts of Aiel culture and provides the reader with a very....intimate look into the semi-secretive Aiel society. Come along with the boys in black as we talk about one of our favorite characters (or Andrew's absolute favorite as it happens). There are series wide spoilers in this episode, so be sure to listen for that fancy pants spoiler warning.
