As the episodes of THE WHEEL OF TIME show release, Ali and Gus will be bringing their experience in the entertainment industry to the table to do an analysis of the adaptational choices made in the process of bringing THE WHEEL OF TIME from the page to the screen.

These episodes are broken into three categories:

1) "I am a show-only fan" - folks who have never picked up a WHEEL OF TIME book can listen to the first (and by far longest) part of our episodes, where we analyze the adaptation insofar as it covers what it has already covered in the books.
2) "I am a Wheel Takes listener" - folks who are current with our book discussion episodes can continue into our second section, where we discuss the long-term logic behind (and ramifications of) choices made by the adaptation as far as Ali has gone in the series.
3) "I'm fully spoiled" - folks who have finished THE WHEEL OF TIME can stick around for brief thoughts from Gus on the logic behind (and ramifications of) choices made by the adaptation from a fully spoiled perspective.
