Egwene is back on a solid seat and she is pissed about it. Suian and Bryne are now one week from retirement, there’s probably a plot hole with the ter’angreal count, and we are unsure if Gish Galloping would circumvent the Oath Rod.

It’s time for Schrodinger’s wheat, the two D-named lords being more alike than ever, and a whole lot of tangents back into the real world. Rand is rapidly descending towards rock bottom and the cognitive dissonance of gatewaying from Arad Domon’s huddled masses to Tear’s cheering throng is not helping.  For the aftershow we discuss our initial reactions to the TV show getting canceled.  Song of th...

Suian and Gawyn make bad choices together, Egwene gets underestimated by her closest allies, and despite all of that we have a great time in this Penultimate Battle sequence.

Rand does the thing, and Graendal does the other thing, but who was Natrin and where was his barrow? Aradia dives into Sexy Lamp discourse, Seth critiques the rules of balefire, and new Patreons get thanked.

Cadsuane and Rand carefully avoid each other, Sanderson makes it clear the timelines have fully decoupled, and Nyneave is engaged in fashion fusion.

We pick up with Rand entering into the first steps of the road to Natrin’s Barrow, and with Gawyn being a nepo-warder two books behind everyone else.

We continue our exploration of the difference between being right and wrong, when a punishment is just or unjust, and how many ways we can hate on Gawyn Trakand. Bryne is too patient with his former student, Sheriam is the most normal kind of evil, the Pattern uses Min to kick Avi into gear, and a truly creepy Bubble of Evil foreshadows worse things to come.

Aradia does a too-good Semirhage impression, Seth thinks he knows why Rand is getting the spins, and we have some good debates about what the Dark One thinks he’s getting out of this whole escapade.

It’s time for our least favorite Mat rant. Also Perrin tries to be decisive,  Talmanes is the real MVP of the Band, Rand’s nihilism affects the land even more than his madness, and Brandon Sanderson gives us a healthier grieving ritual than Robert Jordan would ever have considered writing out so plainly.

The dreaded Floor Beans happen. Perrin has paperwork and sensory sensitivities. Suian and Sharina talk strategy. Beslan is a collaborator. Aradia is in a different location. Seth mansplains mansplaining.

Min is working on her thesis, giving us plenty of #NotALamp fodder to work with. We rehash all the reasons why Herid Fel was even killed, speculate on Laras’ backstory again, and find a Darkfriend we had missed.

Seth campaigns hard for a pet headcanon, Gawyn shows more class consciousness than the Aes Sedai, Cadsuane finds someone to look up to, and Aradia thinks Balthamel is the most likely of the Forsaken to be a conspiracy theorist.

Today’s chapter is a hefty chunk of plot resolution and common sense being interpreted as cleverness. Egwene is getting stuff done! We also ponder if forkroot rules have been retconned and how subterfuge can affect the Darkfriend oaths.  Support medical aid for Palestinians https://www.map.org.uk/   Sign or write letters to Congress with ResistBot  https://resist.bot/petitions   Support us on Patr...

Today’s chapter is an absolutely fantastic Bubble of Evil with Aviendha, culminating in the classic scene on the Daryl K Sweet covers. The episode goes by faster than expected so there’s a good half hour of aftershow for your listening enjoyment.

Ituralde puts off facing the inevitable by relaying a story that triggers Seth to go on his patented “juggling doesn’t work like that” rant, while Aradia ponders if an apparent plot hole merits a deep dive into the history of tobacco cultivation in the US South. Also we thank some new Patreons.  Support medical aid for Palestinians https://www.map.org.uk/   Sign or write letters to Congress with R...

Suian is feeling young again and lets Bryne in on a secret, Perrin is dealing with post-achievement depression won’t let Tam help, and Balwer just likes being written in Sanderson’s straightforward style.

Ituralde is fighting himself into a corner very successfully, Leane needs a new dress so badly a bubble of evil has to chime in, Egwene gets relocated, Rand leans into his administrative skills, and Nyneave is learning the 100 weaves. The man who survived a volcanic eruption by being in jail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludger_Sylbaris   Little Ice Age cooling enhanced by deaths in the Americas:...

We open on a Gawyn chapter, beginning a pattern of complaining that we decide to sweeten with some silly headcanon just to stretch the runtime. Next we turn to Harene and her very interesting potential to ask a question someday, and finally we visit Cadsuane and her presently ineffective questioning of Semirhage.  Behind the Bastards: Mengele https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-...
