Welcome back to WoTSpoilers, where it is time for us to ask RJ why he made prenatal care such a mystery in a queendom. We have a ton of fun looking through ter’angreal with both Elayne and Aviendha in the room, and realize that Avi could have graduated in this chapter if she really wanted to. Other episode with all these ter’angreal: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/wheel-of-time-spoilers-393-pod-...

Welcome back to WoTSpoilers, where it is time for endless innuendo while the siege of Caemlyn happens. We debate the literal or metaphorical purpose of the random storm, learn where Charlz Guybon really comes from, and glare at a myriad of Chekhov’s Swans. We also thank new Patreons at the top and talk about the partial solar eclipse at the end. Support medical aid for Palestinians https://www.map...

We are joined by a long-time listener and fellow podcaster to cover the Beetle Chapter! In addition to getting too invested in calculating beetle mass we also debate the ecological wisdom of making forkroot into a cash crop, critique the assassins’ choices, and discover exactly the pathway by which Aradia found their way to WoTSpoilers.

This week we are still with Mat and his merry band of Demandreds, Dragons, and Derricks.

This week we are with Mat, who does some things we love and some things we very much do not love. We talk about birds, horses, and chemistry. The prose is so lovely that we got through two chapters in one episode!     Guns, Germs, and Steel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns,_Germs,_and_Steel   Botany of Desire  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Botany_of_Desire   Consort of Fire  https://www.kitr...

We enjoy the bright colors of Seanchan armor, marvel at the logic of a lethal bureaucracy, and wonder about the efficacy of forkroot on various levels of channeling experience.

It’s the Darkfriend Social 2.0! You don’t want to miss Seth’s Aran’gar voice, or our revisionist history of how the Forsaken should be living and dying at this point in the story. We also question Aginor’s sexuality and compare the merits of headaches vs all other body pains.

Moving from the slopes of Dragonmount into the White Tower, we are immersed in analogy as well as an irrational love of Beonin. RJ addresses us directly via ghost, Aradia wonders about Tar Valon’s water supply, and Seth sees old corporate branding as part of Elaida’s problem. The first 10 minutes are announcements and thanking new Patreons Kate Elliott interview: https://www.hotnuancebookclub.com/...

Welcome back to the Wheel of Time Spoilers podcast, where we gratefully sink into the comforting familiarity of The Paragraph, compare Suian’s experiences with boats vs horses, and untangle some confusing tent arrangements.

Welcome back to the Wheel of Time Spoilers podcast, where it is time to speculate about the Oath Rod’s functions and dimensions, who is or is not in the cover scene artwork, and name salad made with iceberg lettuce. We each learn some new things, disagree about how cool Sylviana is, and consider the trope of pain tolerance as a proxy for being a moral character. Support medical aid for Palestinian...

Welcome back to the Wheel of Time Spoilers podcast, where we are about to make discoveries about Javindra, the number of sisters in the Tower, and Aradia’s suitability for being a Darkfriend.

Welcome back to the Wheel of Time Spoilers podcast, where we have our first guest of 2024! Abby Goldsmith is a longtime fan of WoT, a fellow podcaster, and an author with a series of books currently coming out. We talk about the quality of Seanchan education, the material used to make the sad bracelets, and generally marvel at old recap in a new POV. Abby’s books: https://abbygoldsmith.com Stories...

We’re finally here!!! We’re in the 4th quarter of the Wheel of Time!!! We try to get into Galad’s head by contemplating the difference between what has to be done vs the right thing to be done. We also wonder what even is the point of Asunawa? There is some beautiful sword form poetry before the plot goes absolutely Tara-bonkers, and Editing Aradia hopes you appreciate the (relatively) succinct re...

The long-anticipated supercut of all the segments of us talking about the Cleansing across the duration of Winter’s Heart is finally here! Enjoy.

Seth and Aradia rewatch episode six after having finished the whole season. This cast has too much talent and we are not ok.
