Wheel of Time Spoilers 420 – WH – Prologue: Snow (part 2) 30.06.2022 2:31:39

We open today’s episode with a somber nod to the reality of Roe v Wade being overturned. After a number of tangents that merit being put at the end of the episode, we return to Elayne as she descends to the palace basement to undergo the First Sister ceremony. We both think the ceremony is cool, if a bit weird in spots. Toveine Gazal has her last bitter moment in the POV spotlight as the Black Tow...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 419 – WH – Prologue: Snow (part 1) 23.06.2022 2:08:01

Welcome to season nine of WoTSpoilers! We will be breaking the prologue into parts, because it is one of the longest in the series. On summer solstice we start Winter’s Heart, returning to just a few days before the end of Path of Daggers. First we check in with some Aes Sedai name-salad in the basement of the Tower, then shift to see how the Andoran nobility name-salad is responding to Elayne’s b...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 418 – Path of Tangents 09.06.2022 2:21:10

For our traditional book-wrap-up episode we have Morgan @PodcastOfTheDragon and EgweneFanboy aka Chad to talk with us about all that has happened, in the books and in our lives, during the period of time in which we were podcasting through Path of Daggers. Our timeline starts in October with SpoilerCon, spans the TV show and subsequent burnout, our return to finding joy in a fictional fog of war,...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 417 – PoD Ch 30 & 31 – Beginnings & After 02.06.2022 2:08:10

Today we are finishing the last chapter(s) of Path of Daggers! Multiple POV switches have us set up for plotlines that take a full three books to resolve, from Perrin meeting the Prophet, to Egwene taking a single significant step through a gateway, to Faile meeting Rolan. We also consider how our choice of role models in the books have changed as we’ve grown older. New Patreons get their shoutout...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 416 – PoD Ch 29 – A Cup of Sleep 26.05.2022 1:55:27

Sometimes, in the fog of war, things move very very quickly. Explosively quickly. Min and Rand are struggling to manage expectations around Elayne and the captive Aes Sedai. Verin’s knowledge and manipulation from the beginning of the book is paying off, much as Rand’s plans with the Black Tower (or lack thereof) are reaping him the grim harvest of both betrayal and sealing Fedwin Morr’s fate. Mak...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 415 – PoD Ch 28 – Crimsonthorn 19.05.2022 1:38:45

We are joined today by a long-term fan of the podcast, Margeau Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah, to discuss a very dark chapter. Elayne is nearly home to Camlyn and the start of her ascension plot when a murder in the group proves there is a Darkfriend among them, while inside the city Daved Hanlon meets Lady Shianine giving Bors his final sendoff. Make sure to check out the WoT Idol 2022 playlist on Y...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 414 – PoD Ch 27 – The Bargain 12.05.2022 1:42:17

Today’s chapter feels like a drawn out epilogue to events a book or more in the making. Rand learns of the details of his Bargain with the Seafolk, the consequences of avoiding the Maidens for so long, and a footnote from the user’s manual of Callandor. Aradia admires Min, and Cadsuane cowers for no one. Make sure to check out the WoT Idol 2022 playlist on YouTube: https://youtu.be/g5Hd0Bdoo5I Get...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 413 – PoD Ch 26 – The Extra Bit 05.05.2022 1:15:28

We wander through the corridors of the White Tower and get lost in a maze of quaternary characters and their intersecting plots. Seaine and Saerin are in the same room, and this will probably be the last time we are able to keep them distinct. Pevara is a super cool character despite being a Red, while Tovaine is pretty much the opposite as she approaches the Black Tower in her full Red Ajah arrog...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 412 – PoD – Ch 25 – An Unwelcome Return 28.04.2022 1:46:54

While Egwene and Rand are managing their wars, Elaida remains in the White Tower and attempts to control events. If only she knew how much of her actions were not her own, as her council is approaching Darkfriend Social levels of infiltration. Alviarin makes the first of her two returns, breaking up Elaida's regathering power and subjecting her to punishments that are returned later in kind, via t...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 411 – PoD – Ch 24 – A Time for Iron 21.04.2022 2:11:52

We are joined today by longtime podcast fan Jason Denzel of Dragonmount! He's got an amazing RJ story to share about this chapter in particular. We also have multiple opportunities to linger on favored headcanon discussions in between multiple POV switches throughout the last day of Rand's war against the Seanchan in Altara. This podcast is now supported by Spreaker Prime! https://www.spreaker.com...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 410 – PoD – Ch 23 – Fog of War, Storm of Battle 08.04.2022 2:11:22

We are joined today by podcast fan Yair to discuss the part of Rand's Altara campaign that goes right. We meet Furyk Karede and Aliva (briefly), create a romance between Anaiyella and Ailil with no real basis in canon, struggle to wrap our heads around how the terrain influences the military strategies of both sides, and marvel at the peak insanity that Rand is existing in. This podcast is now sup...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 409 – PoD – Ch 22 – Gathering Clouds 01.04.2022 2:21:07

We are joined today by Chad, an Egwene Fanboy who also loves the dismal arcs of Rand's campaign in Altara. We see the scene that Darrell K. Sweet depicted for the original cover art of Path of Daggers (learning a secret in the process!), dissect who paid Eagan Padros, and marvel at the Seanchan legacy as told through the eyes of Assid Bakuun.

Wheel of Time Spoilers 408 – PoD – Ch 21 – Answering The Summons 25.03.2022 1:23:59

Rand is surrounded by the fog of war, treachery, and inclement weather. Narishma retrieves Callandor. Did you enjoy the Wheel of Time show? So did we!

Wheel of Time Spoilers 406 – PoD – Ch 19 – The Law 11.03.2022 1:59:26

Egwene is making her move for power in the Hall! All the work that she and Suian have put in over the last several months is coming to fruition, and Gareth Bryne is all in. Our guest today is Morgan @PodOfTheDragon, who expertly schools us on the motivations of each of the Sitters in the rebel Hall. There is horse name salad to start, and a dressing down of the Romaine salad to finish. Listen to M...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 404 – PoD – Ch 16 – Unexpected Absences 18.02.2022 1:40:45

The Amyrlin Seat is as weak and shaky as it will ever be, literally and figuratively. Egwene pauses the army, and deftly maneuvers through two rounds of Romanda and Lelaine trying to control her. Selame and Meri go missing, while Halima digs for information. Did you enjoy the Wheel of Time show? So did we!

Wheel of Time Spoilers 402 – PoD – Ch 14 – Message From The M'Hael 04.02.2022 1:27:24

A real oatmeal-rasin cookie of a chapter! Rand interacts with several notable asha'man (and one meaningless servant) while juggling plans to deal with both the Seanchan and the taint on saidin. Seth focuses on Rand's inner turmoil, while Aradia provides a crash-course in how ocean waves work. Did you enjoy the Wheel of Time show? So did we!

Wheel of Time Spoilers 401 - POD - Ch 13 - Floating Like Snow 28.01.2022 1:36:34

WoTSpoilers returns to our regularly scheduled programming! We get back into the swing of podcasting by rejoining Rand as he attempts to manage the aftermath of ousting Sammael from Illian. This is the Rand we love most, relate to most, and think of when we try to describe him as a whole. Lordly name salad, difficult asha'man, and miserably wet weather all set the stage for us to parse the differe...

Wheel of Time Spoilers 399 - POD - Ch 11 - Questions and an Oath 17.11.2021 1:38:41

A very spicy chapter! Sevanna’s power is being tested to its limits as the Jumai Shaido take stock of being scattered into Ghealdan, and a power struggle with Therava takes them into Perrin’s path. Meanwhile, Galina is suffering greatly as she is broken down by Wise One cruelty, but that is nothing against her fear of Therava. What are your thoughts on the differences between the Oath Rod in the W...
