In chapters 49 and 50, the Salidar embassy uses Big Gandalf Magic, Rand forces everyone to Evacuate Caemlyn, Hashtag Bully Lives Matter, Aes Sedai use the Bloody Mary Rule, and our printer is a Romanceable NPC. Enjoy!  Transcript

For ch. 47-48, we talk about Playing Coma, Ebou Dar's fairy tale qualities (and, on that note, Mat's new movie, Untangled), how the Whitecloaks Should All Be Played by the Same Guy, and how spotting Carridin is like seeing Ted Cruz. Transcript

In chapters 41-42, Min spends a whole chapter acting like a 10th grader, Rand doesn't understand why The Farm sounds so ominous, and Mazrim Taim is humiliated when his mortal enemy puts some Girl Scout badges on him. Bonus topic: Deprogramming the Asha'man. Transcript

Chs. 38-40 teach us some valuable lessons about women's agency and some not-so-valuable lessons about how all women are liars and idiots. Thanks, RJ. Other talking points: Mat's Dump Was Charisma, Egg's Dozen, and Totally Benign Knife-Sharpening. Transcript

As the tax man cometh, so do ch. 36-37. We discuss the classist implications of the Perfect Servant Trope, Egwene's Zero-to-Sixty Leadership Competence versus Rand's Parabola of Competence to Insanity, and we ask once again: Why doesn't Elayne just GO to Andor? Transcript

So these ones are bad. Chapters 34-35 are just real stinkers. We'll talk about why -- hint: the rampant transphobia and misogyny -- but luckily we'll also talk about some Jesus Lore and cap the episode with every horse name we can remember.  CW: discussions of transphobia, Aran'gar   Transcript

There's a lot going on in ch. 31-33. We visit the Questioner Cathedral, explain why you Can't Drown a Mermaid, learn the Secret to the Female Orgasm (it's a car crash), sell Mat an On-Fire Iron Flute, and Explore the Inherent Eroticism of Gazing at One's Sword. You're welcome? Transcript

Unsurprisingly, ch. 29-30, set in Salidar, absolutely suck. We discuss Freud's Wet Dream (Thom and Elayne), Nynaeve Being a gOoD LiTtLe wOmAn, Equal Opportunity Sluts, and we demand to know: Where Are the Vineyards? TW: Aran'gar Transcript

During ch. 22-23, Emily has no idea what's going on (as usual). But seriously, where's all this going? Where's the pay-off to this set-up? We need Poirot Cauthon on the case. At least we have Olver's rock resume to keep us going. Transcript

Hi, everyone! This isn't a full-length episode, and the info covered here can also be found on our Instagram. This is mostly meant for anyone who might be listening after the release date and doesn't want to scroll through social media to get the deets. Thanks for being cool! Transcript 

In ch. 17-18, we're asking hard questions, like: What if Berelain was a mentor to Egg? What if Rand used creative problem-solving? Where does Juilin put the thieves he catches? And which fruit WAS it, actually, in the Garden of Eden? Transcript

Welcome to 2021! We think Halwin Norry should be Queen of Andor. Other controversial topics from ch. 15-16 include Pillows of Fiber, Gawyn's Sim Sex Dreams, Egg-ucation, and how Salidar is just Plot Purgatory. Transcript
