The Black Tower Podcast: A Wheel of Time Podcast

A Finite Reality (ft. Thom from Dragonmount) | Season 2 Episode 47

Can the Dark One actually win? Inspired by a comment requesting that we answer the same question as Dusty Wheel has, the boys in black (minus a traveling Josh) sat down with Thom from Dragonmount and JordanCon to discuss the metaphysics, set somethings straight, and determine what may be possible.

So there was supposed to be a topic.....but bubbles of evil said no to it. So it's just an almost lost compilation of randomness. Almost like a bonus episode taking the place of our regular episode.

Myths that Create Legends | Season 2 Episode 41

In a world with its own mythologies, it's easy for us to just focus on the lore and origins of The Wheel of Time. However, Robert Jordan pulled plenty of inspiration and influence from our own world. So the guys thought it would be fun to take a brief look at a few different cultures, legends, and myths that may have influenced our favorite series.

Child Byar - In & Out of the Cloak | Season 2 Episode 40

New intro music! What do you think?
The #TwitterOfTime Wheel of Time character accounts are some of the biggest joys many of us get. From the funny to the hilarious, to the downright wholesome, the character antics on Twitter make us laugh and feel good every day. We were lucky enough to sit down with the person behind the Child Byar character account and chat about their experience. Good ole Byar did not disappoint.

Live from the Con (ft. The Gleemen Podcast) | JordanCon 2021 Special

It's live from JordanCon! Okay, well not live, but was recorded in person at JordanCon 2021. Vance, Matt, Andrew, and Josh sit down at the legendary Bar and have a nice chat over some tasty beverages. The group gets session bombed by a few really cool guests, who you will get to hear from. It was a great time, and now we bring it to you. No intro or outro music. No plugs (well, a little of ours' and The Gleemen's). Just fun.
