After months of sending text message updates about his progress, Grace's brother-in-law, Nick, finally finished reading the Wheel of Time. A self-described "smart jock," Nick visits The Light's Work and talks about the experience of reading Grace's favorite fantasy series, how it measures up to his own favorite series (The Dark Tower by Stephen King), and whether he would ever take on his sister-in-law's level of WoT fandom. **This episode contains FULL BOOK SPOILERS for the Wheel of Time.**

June 04, 2023 Episode 30: Not a Lord - Doing "Light Work" with Omar
When he's not busy sleuthing on search engines for WoT Series, our very good friend Omar makes memes, role-plays as Mat Cauthon on Twitter, and shares his love of food with the Wheel of Time fandom—most infamously in the form of late night snacks that magically appear at WoT conventions. Discussing everything from the Wot Series code of ethics to how much mint should go into a salad, Omar shares his insights and reveals just how much he has in common with our favorite reluctant hero.

May 14, 2023 Episode 27: Rioting with Rajesh
Rajesh aka ⁠Moridin on Twitter⁠ has threatened to riot over countless potential oversights and missed opportunities in The Wheel of Time Season 2 (and 3). But what would a Wheel of Time fandom riot actually look like? And are all riots created equal? Anas and Grace sit down with Rajesh to learn more about his experience in the fandom and determine what he deems most riot-worthy. (This episode contains Season 2 speculation and therefore related plot points from Books 1-3 of the Wheel of Time).
