The Wheel of Time Podcast

Man, what a season finale! From Pennywise the Dancing Fox to the destructive force of balefire, from Nynaeve's Moana moment to the creepiest corpse I've seen, from Rand dancing on a knife's edge of egomania & madness to the end of two separate years-long relationships of Power-crossed lovers, this was a huge episode. Join Greg and Veronica as they EXTENSIVELY talk about all things "He Who Comes Wi...

With what seems like a closeout of the Two Rivers this season, we got a pretty intense battle scene, some pretty badass weather manipulation, some sweet, sweet revenge, and a goodbye that shocked us pretty good. Join Veronica and Greg as they delve into the episode and explore the emotional moments, badass or otherwise, in the episode. ONE EPISODE LEFT THIS SEASON!!! Thanks for all of the feedback...

The Hills of Tanchico are alive!!! From the newest catchy TV show song to everyone speaking WAY LOUDER THAN THEY SHOULD, from the Forsaken being disgustingly petty to kinda of, well, easy to take out, to a heartrending scene of power and helplessness, there was a lot to talk about here! And talk we did. Hear Veronica and Greg as they are joined by Cristin's unique perspective as they discuss why s...

We knew there would be a dropoff, but this episode still had some good stuff! From MORE POWER THAN MOIRAINE EVER DREAMED to Dreamwalking, From Sea Folk to Seasickness, from a bad breakup to being a bad bitch, this episode had quite a bit to talk about. Join Veronica and Greg as they break it down, discussing what they liked, what they didn't, what made sense, and where logic completely broke down....

Deep breath...WHEW!!! THAT was a landmark episode. From discovering Rand's ancestors knew and remembered "the Song", to delving deep into the history and lore of the Aiel's beginnings, to watching Moiraine be brutally *spoiler deleted* over and over again, this was a wicked emotional rollercoaster. SPOILER ALERT: We loved it!!! Join Veronica and Greg as they dig deeper into the lore of this world...

Pretty solid end to an entertaining beginning of the season! From sympathy for Liandrin (WHAAAT?!?!) to Mat embracing his fortune, from Perrin "doing what he has to" to Lan not forgetting his father battle, this episode was just as dense with payoffs and lore as the first 3 this season. Join Greg and Veronica as they break it down, answer some questions, posthumously realize their idiocy, and gene...

Well...THAT escalated quickly. From that brutal opening inauguration, to meeting the Andoran royal family, to Perrin's unwelcoming homecoming, to Egwene finding out she may NOT want her dreams to come true, Veronica and Greg break down this middle opening episode. We had some nitpicks, for sure, but we enjoyed it and couldn't wait to get to the last of the opening three. Hope you enjoy! Check out...

Boy, it's great to be back in this world! From the opening confrontation to what has to be the worst inn customer service, this episode really delivered on re-establishing the world and our characters place in it. In the White Tower, in the city of Tar Valon, it seems like our heroes will be going their separate ways again. Join Greg and Veronica as they both gush and condemn the season premiere!...

The Wheel of Time turns, and podcasts come and go. A podcast is released on Podcastica. It is neither the beginning or the end, but it is A beginning. Join Greg as he recaps seasons 1 and 2 in case you didn't have time to rewatch all 16 hours of the show in preps for Season 3. And if you did, maybe give it a listen anyway. Coverage of Season 3 coming VERY SOON!!! Advertising Inquiries: https://red...

Wow, what a season finale!! We have to admit, this was pretty elevated, and if we sound a little fanboy-ish about it...it's cause it was flipping awesome! Another Final Boss Battle! The band gets back together! Mat is a Hero of the Horn! Egwene goes full bad-a$$! The Dragon is Proclaimed! The stars aligned and Amazon really did something amazing with the end of this season, and you can tell the lo...

Join us for the penultimate episode of this season of The Wheel of Time as Greg and Veronica break down the dense episode that covered a lot of emotion and gave us some background into the heavy loads that Moiraine and Siuan have been carrying. We really enjoyed the story, and are really looking forward to the finale! And again, thanks for the feedback, it’s been great hearing from the listeners a...

Ooof. That was a tough one. Sorry about the late publication, things happen. Anywhoo, The Empire Strikes Back in the Wheel of Time!!! Everyone enslaved or stilled or killed! Or just abandoned! (Thanks Mat!) The Wheel of Time ‘Cast finally has it’s full complement of hosts this week as Greg, Veronica, and Ben break down some phenomenal depressing performances, and get to wonder at how we only have...

Huzzah! Ben is back! These episodes are so dense, and so much story, we didn't have enough points to totally cover it! From more details about the Seanchan to the blatant revelation of the Black Ajah, to Lanfear and her definitive obsession with the Dragon, join Ben and Greg as they discuss in GREAT detail (and few sidebars) what they liked (and didn't like) about this latest episode! And we got s...

Oh boy, this was a bit of a harsh episode. From the ashes of an inn rises a…Forsaken lover? Little of bit of timeline confusion, but we got quite a few reveals from this episode, and some secrets aired out, from some of Moiraine’s history, to the revelation that all Aes Sedai don’t necessarily fight for the Light, to the fact that even “powerless” Aes Sedai are able to physically defend themselves...

At long last, our coverage of Episode 3! Apologies for the delay, but we are almost caught up! This was quite a dense episode, showing development on a lot of fronts, but can we just give a golf-clap for a heck of a performance by Zoë Robbins? Nynaeve went through a lot here, and we want to apologize up front for the fruity language, we were emotionally put through the ringer as well. Join Greg an...

More adventures across the land! Mental hospital orderlies in Cairhein, hallucinating trackers, super cranky Aes Sedai, jolly sneaky prisoners , and less jolly and less sneaky novices in (and out of) the White Tower! Could Mat BE a more cheerful inmate? Join Veronica and Greg as they break down this latest episode! Can’t wait to see what Nynaeve’s experience is in the next episode! Let us know wha...

The Wheel of Time is back!! Almost 2 years after the release of season 1, the Dragon is back and riding on the winds of...well, the podcast waves. Six months have passed since Rand fought whom he thought was the Dark One at the Eye of the World, and Moiraine has been cut off from the Source. Join Greg and Veronica as they delve back into the world with some new characters, new locations, new power...

The end of the first season is here, and reviews are...mixed. Some great heavy acting from mainstays and favorite characters, mingled with some pretty confusing lingo and concepts led to some disagreements on the episode, but we had a great time breaking this one down. From a pretty intriguing (although subtitled) flashback to a showdown at the Eye of the World (or in Rand's mind) to a full blown...

The Dragon Reborn is finally revealed!! Ben returns with Wendy and Greg to discuss an amazing opening sequence and their take on the the penultimate episode of this season. From a battle in the Ways to the fortress of Fal Dara to the return of our favorite peddler, we break down our favorite (or less favorite) parts of this episode. While we may not agree on all aspects of the show, we are really...

From learning the White Tower power structure and politics, to sucking the Dark out of Mat and kicking Moiraine out of the Tower, to the Aes Sedai Boss Bitch and a giant stone Portal in the middle of a random field, we got a really full episode finally developing Moiraine as a character. Greg, Wendy and WoT super-fan guest host Eric break down their favorite and notable scenes from a powerhouse gr...

Our adventurers have finally reached the White Tower and it's host city of Tar Valon, and it's not quite what we expected. Between meeting a talkative Ogier (O-gear, apparently), Nynaeve getting caught in White Tower politics, and a heart-wrenching end to a character, Greg, Wendy and Ben talk their way through a plethora of character development, plots, sub-plots and Aes Sedai plots, while waiting...

The series hits it's stride with the introduction of Logain, the self-proclaimed Dragon Reborn, an introduction to the male half of the Source, three storylines and one hell of a battle scene, with an explosive reveal at the end. Join Greg, Wendy and Ben as they dig a little deeper into the lore of the Aes Sedai, the Warder bonds, and how a little knowledge of the past goes a long way. Send in you...

The final of the opening gamut of introductory episodes splits our party after the events of Shadar Logoth, and introduces some new ideas, concepts and characters. Greg, Wendy and Ben delve deeper into some song lyrics, new characters, phenomenal CG transitions, and a bit more humor and character from a few of our traveling companions. We are really enjoying the series as a whole, and are thankful...

A bit darker and more ominous, this episode impressed a little more than the premiere. Greg, Wendy and Ben dig a little deeper into the revelation of the lore of this world, the eloquence of the history, and the fact that sometimes guys just like stuff, while women can be a little more refined. Join us as we unpack this next chapter on blood-flavored delicacies, who you shouldn't irritate if they...

The series premiere of The Wheel of Time is here and it seems like that Amazon money has gone to good use in this production of a beloved fantasy book series. Join Greg, Wendy and Ben as they explore this new world of characters and locales from several different points on the fandom spectrum. From beautiful landscapes to different political power structures to brutal animalistic murder, we discus...
