Hold My Ale (ft. tWoTcast) | Season 2 Episode 22

Drunken moments can occupy some of the most enjoyable times in our memories. Since we talk about the Wheel of Time then, we just had to talk about the truly and the seemingly drunken moments that take up rent-free space in our heads. Joe, Jono, and Tom from the fantastic tWoTcast were able to join us for this discussion. Josh, sadly, could not make it for this one.

Can You Hear Me Now? (ft. Podcast of the Dragon) | Season 2 Episode 21

The Wheel of Time and communication. Two things that seem mutually exclusive as far as the characters within the series. Thankfully, we the fans do a way better job of talking to each other! For this episode, Josh is off enjoying St. Patrick's Day, so we replacing him with the fantastic Morgan from Podcast of the Dragon!

BACKGROUND BREAKDOWN: Talmanes | Season 2 Episode 20

Background characters are generally either hit or miss, and many fall through the cracks and never get enough love. Similar to our character analysis series, we wanted to throw plenty of love to all of those non-main characters that we enjoy in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. This week, we tackle Talmanes, the lovable and trusty right hand man to Mat! We plan on doing one of these every month, so feel free to suggest who you want us to do next!

S2 Ep. 18 - 10 Things you May not Know about The Wheel of Time

Yes! It's a clickbaity title. We intended for it to be that way, however, we actually do try to talk about some likely lesser known things from Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time. Personally, we think some of the things are pretty cool.

S2 Ep. 17 - WoT Spinoffs (ft. Rob/Weekly Wheel News)

There is never enough of The Wheel of Time for all of us hungry hungry dragonsworn. But would any more that is NOT in the series be a good thing? What sort of spinoffs would we even want, and what would we want to be avoided? For this episode, we called in our good friend and designer extraordinaire, Rob from Weekly Wheel News to talk all about the possibilities!

S2 Ep. 16 - WoTentine's Day

It's that time of year where we set aside a day to focus on that wonderful....horrible....chemical reaction called love! So what better time to talk about our favorite relationships from Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time? Plus, we make sure that many of the characters know which dating apps to use when they magically show up in our world.

S2 Ep. 15 - Mat Renee and his Kinks (ft. Wheel Takes)

Oh yes, it's an episode all about our favorite badger catcher, Matrim Cauthon. However, this one is somewhat SPOILER FRIENDLY....up through book 4 (so if you're reading book 5 "Fires of Heaven" or are past that part, you're good) of Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time.
We've got epic guests that we all love and it was just an all around super fun episode!

S2 Ep. 14 - From First to....Second?

History can be a super fun subject to talk about, just ask anyone in the Brown Ajah. Well, we enjoy it too. Daniel was off being busy with life, so Josh and Andrew decided to talk about what may have ended the First Age and started the Second age in Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time. There are tangents galore, Andrew gets distracted by WoTonPrime on Twitter, and we see what happens when Daniel is not here to help keep us on track.

S2 Ep. 12 - Our Favorite Museum Pieces (ft. The Dragon Reread)

Look Illeyna!! We have guests! Illeyna?.....Illeyena!!!!!!! Oh, sorry about that. What, are we crazy? Nonsense, we are perfectly sane....ish. But that's not important. We have guests with us today, and some pretty epic guests at that! Yes, we know we say that about all of our guests, but it's the truth! It is a discussion of our favorite Wheel of Time artifacts, mysterious objects, and just all around cool things! So sit back, relax with a nice glass of your chosen taint, and lets enjoy some history.

S2 Ep. 11 - Coming in Clutch

In a last minute episode topic switch, after the Dark One works to delay Daniel's return home, Josh and Andrew discuss some of the moments of triumph from the Wheel of Time series. And then our live recording chat breaks all three of us at the end. It's a pretty laid back episode with essentially no structure, but we enjoyed it nevertheless.

S2 Ep. 10 - Magic Pipe in My Mouth

It's one of the most iconic scenes within the Wheel of Time. How it happens has been theorized ever since the scene was first put before our eyes, and the thoughts around it have not died off in the slightest. Come along with the Black Tower Podcast as we discuss the mystery that is....Rand's Pipe.

S2 Ep. 9 - The Lowdown on Logain

We have to start this description off with an apology. The quality, both audio and video, is not where we would like it to be. Technical difficulties resulted in the loss of our primary recording, which meant differently configured video recording and no separate audio tracks. We appreciate your understanding.
As for the episode itself, the Boys in Black unite once again to talk about one of their fellow Asha'man (Logain), with yet another of their fellow Asha'man (Androl, the Bard of Time). It's a special guest episode about an epic topic! We hope you enjoy and have the bestest of New Years!! Goodbye 2020 you trainwreck of a year, and here's to hoping that the Bowl of the Winds and every other protection has prepared 2021 to be a great year!
