The Black Tower Podcast: A Wheel of Time Podcast

How Amazon Changed the Wheel of Time (ft. Ta’veren Tavern) | Season 3 Episode 13

Our beloved Wheel of Time series has some definite stark differences between the printed material and the television show. Is it good? Is it bad? It's a discussion that has been raging since the show was even announced. Ta'veren Tavern was kind enough to join us in a nice long talk about some of the changes that we have seen.
