Entirely the Right Sort of Podcast

Felurian, what have I done?? I've made a podcast episode about you, that's what!  It's no "The Lay of Felurian," but I hope you join me all the same. I discuss Kvothe and Felurian's battle of wills, speculate wildly on if Felurian knew the Chandrian "back in the day," get to some Twitter comments on why the sex scenes exist in the first place, and much more.  I would love to do a mailbag...

Happy Halloween!! ETRSOP is back with a lunar-focused episode as we dive into questions and theories about the moon! I explore the story of Jax, the hints we get about Iax and the Creation War, and if the moon is really gone in the frame narrative. I would love to do a mailbag episode, so please drop me a line at ETRSOP@gmail.com! To connect with me on social, find me on Twitter and Facebook . If...

The three-part Denna saga concludes today! We talk about if Denna has a knack for music and how she knows plays and songs so well, we wonder where Denna is from, we chit-chat about the similarities between Denna and the moon, we ponder why Denna keeps changing her name, Dalyce eats a bagel, I say “like” a lot, we chat about the language Kvothe uses in talking about her, I defend country music, and...

Dalyce returns to pod with me about Denna -- we talk about what goes wrong with Denna and Kvothe, the fight they have in Severen after she shares her song, Denna’s changing views on the Chandrian, if Skarpi’s story is real, relationships we’ve had that are similar to Kvothe and Denna’s, love languages, and more. Stay tuned for the conclusion of Dennathon 2020 next week!! Give me a shout via email,...

"How can I make any sense of her for you when I have never understood the least piece of her myself?" Join special guest Dalyce and I for the first part of our Denna discussion, where we share seven things we know about her, discuss what makes her compelling, compare her to Kvothe, speculate about her motivations, mull over the meaning of her patronage, and more.  Give me a shout via email, e...

Kvothe rescues Krin and Ellie from a band of bandits who have killed an Edema Ruh troupe and stolen their wagons. I talk about ties to Denna and Auri, allegorical theories, and the uphill battle Kvothe is fighting against the popular reputation of his people.  Give me a shout via email, etrsop@gmail.com or find me on Twitter and Facebook .  If you wanna financially support the podcast by...

Travel to Trebon with me as we discuss Nina, a brave and clever girl who clearly gets a lot of vacation days from her job helping her mom mix pots and glaze paints.  We discuss the hill fort near Trebon, the power of dreams, and the logistics of all Nina's trips to Imre.  If you want to say hi, follow me on Twitter or Facebook at ETRSOP or send me an email, etrsop@gmail.com. If you wanna...

Lyra, the powerful and terrible Namer who called her husband Lanre from beyond the doors of death, is this week's character! Join me as I probe what I think are two of the most interesting questions about her story: how did she resurrect Lanre, and, how did she die?? I also touch on the fan theory that Lyra is the Lady Lackless, and how Lyra and Lanre could parallel Kvothe and Denna.  If you...

I welcome The Trio onto ETRSOP as we discuss everyone's favorite pixie-faced gaelet, Devi! We had a great time talking about Devi's lust for the archives, my hope that Devi and Mola are dating (and my hope for more queer content in all things), who Devi's clients are, if she might betray Kvothe, what Devi may have done to get kicked out, how women are treated differently than men at the University...

What's in the Lackless box?? What's behind the Lackless door?? In this episode, I talk a bit about Meluan Lackless, and the tantalizing theories that she has inherited. We cover rhymes about the Lackless box; the similarities between the box, the Cthaeh, and the thrice-locked chest; the "doors of stone;" and more.  To drop me a line, email me at etrsop@gmail.com. Or, find me on Twitter: twitt...

This episode is about two very important swords -- one we meet at the beginning of Name of the Wind, and one we meet toward the end of Wise Man's Fear. I talk about if Folly is Cinder's sword -- or perhaps is Caesura, remade; I ponder why these swords are given feminine pronouns; I read a bit from the books; and much, much more! If you want to say hi, follow me on Twitter or Facebook at ETRSOP or...

I know you have been as patient as two stones together, dear listeners! Will and Phoenix of podcast Tales from the Waystone join me this week via Zoom to talk about the enigmatic Auri. We have a wonderful chat about Auri's power, if she really could be Princess Ariel, and how she brings out some of the best in young Kvothe.  SPOILER WARNING as usual this week, with the addition of "Slow Regar...

Our resident El'the and physicker is the subject of this week's pod! I talk about Mola's relationship with Devi, how she may lead Auri into danger, and an interesting theory I found on reddit that says Mola is the one who tries to kill Kvothe.  I am now on Facebook and on Apple Podcasts! Thank you to my first reviewer for the five talents (stars)!  If you wanna get in touch, you can also...

Tiny gods, Sim! Today, we talk about Fela, her significance to the plot, what we know about Modeg, and how she may feature in Book Three.  SPOILERS for Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear. I also mention Harry Potter, the Star Wars prequels, and the Star Wars: Clone Wars tv series.  Explicit tag for discussion of sexuality, if you are listening with kiddos around. I would love to hear f...

Only that which records can podcast. Luckily, we don't need several weeks of "run, Ketan, walk, discuss" to reach Haert for this episode. I talk about Vashet, Ademre, kings, poets, poet kings, king killers, and grandma issues.  SPOILER WARNING if you have not finished The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss! Also, my apologies for cat litter noises in the background. It adds a certain special...

SPOILERS for NotW and WMF! Please do not proceed if you haven't finished both books. On our character profile journey, we'll start with "dark Laurian, Arliden's wife." Here I discuss the common theory that Laurian is really Netalia Lackless, talk about the Cthaeh's comments on her death, and more!  I would love to hear from you!
