Anas and Grace answer 18 questions submitted by listeners, ranging from the very silly to the very serious. Featuring a special appearance by Grapes the Cat.

Anas and Grace have a long overdue chat with one of the busiest and most generous creators in the fandom, Rob from Malkier Talks. From his early days as "Malkieri Rob," to his invitation to the London premiere of The Wheel of Time on Prime, to his founding of the UK-based MalkieriCon, Rob shares his behind the scenes process and what inspires him to get up in the middle of the night for WoT fandom.

Anas and Grace get to know infamous Wheel of Time fan Kevin Angus while testing out the concept of "Lego Talk"—a phenomenon noticed by Kevin and used on his podcast, in which conversations flow more organically and openly while participants play with Legos.

Where do you draw the line between fandom and fanaticism? Are fan gatherings any different from the ecstatic rituals of religious zealots? And how do you explain yourself to loved ones who think you've gone overboard? Anas and Grace explore the answers to these questions and reflect on whether WoT fandom has anything in common with the dark and dangerous world of cults.

In this special Valentine's Day edition of TLW, Anas and Grace talk with WoT couple Jessica Sedai and Daniel (Random Nomen) about their relationship and what it's like to date someone in the fandom.

After countless times mentioning Lauren from Unraveling the Pattern as an example of The Light's Work in the Wheel of Time fandom, Anas and Grace finally get to chat with him. From his early days at book signings to celebrating 3 years on YouTube, Lauren opens up about his love for the fandom and the fears and flaws behind his creative process.

Anas and Grace host a livestream recording to celebrate Anas's new job and share their fancasting choices for WoT fans who volunteered to be cast as characters in The Wheel of Time. This episode contains multiple *FULL BOOK SERIES SPOILERS.*
