Anas and Grace sit down with Matt Hatch, The Innkeeper at The Dusty Wheel, for an interview discussing the incredible journey Matt has been on within this Fandom. As Matt recalled starting his journey in a library, making Theoryland.com, doing beta-reads for Towers of Midnight and now hosting a successful YouTube livestream, little did he know that later in the interview he would be pleading "Can you just ask me about Lanfear?!"

This week Anas and Grace discuss the question of why and how is everyone in the Wheel of Time Fandom so awesome. As always, they made lists, and Grace put on her academic hat as they dissected this question—a question they were nervous and excited about exploring because it was one of the first topics of interest they identified when they decided to start this podcast.

Brian The Gleeman joins Anas and Grace as they recount how the Fandom has brought so much joy back into their lives. Meeting at conventions has been one of the most joyous moments this year, and they reflect on their most recent meeting at OgierCon—a gathering of fans in a Black Ajah style mansion in Charleston, SC for the book release event for Origins of The Wheel of Time by Michael Livinsgton, Harriet McDougal and Maria Simons.
