The Black Tower Podcast: A Wheel of Time Podcast
Making mostly full spoiler content since October 2018, the Black Tower Podcast focuses on topics ranging from cultures to characters to metaphysics across the entirety of Robert Jordan’s epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time. Born out of a love for the books and an appreciation for its nuance, these folks get together weekly to discuss all of the things that make us love this series.

Ep. 73 Dimples and Curls: Tangent Drift
Friday Apr 24, 2020
Friday Apr 24, 2020
The Boys are back on the mic, talking about some of our favorite things!
What started out as an another episode on one of our favorite characters, Elayne Trakand, got off-track somewhere in the first 30 minutes and talks about bonding, oosquai, and "veins of gold." (Giggity) Come join us for what was one of our more fun episodes to record! Daniel and Josh sit down and discuss more in our "character delve" series and have a ball, with Andrew there in spirit. You don't want to miss this one!

In this amazing episode, we were honored and privileged to have some guests from the Fantology Podcast with us.

Ep. 69 Dimples and Curls
Friday Mar 27, 2020
Friday Mar 27, 2020
Even in the middle of social distancing, isolation, and quarantine, the Royal Bloody Pain in our backsides manages to keep her chin up, and those strawberry blonde curls on fleek. That's right, this week's episode is all about Elayne Trakand! Josh was stuck raising his daughter, being a good husband and father, celebrating her birthday at the time of recording, so he is more than excused on this one. (We're not saying you have to, but send her belated birthday wishes). It's another super-tainty episode with just Daniel and Andrew again, but we know you'll love it.
A reminder for our listeners, if you are in our Discord, you can tune in to our recordings live for the duration of the Coronavirus pandemic. After things have calmed down and the world beats this virus, listening in live will return to being a Patreon only benefit!
Stay safe out there all. We love ya!

Ep. 67 Memories of Memories Pt. 1

Friday Mar 13, 2020
Andrew and Daniel get started, but not very far into, the Black Tower Podcast's review of Book 14, A Memory of Light, of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time epic high fantasy series. There's a lot of random talk and the tangents you have come to expect and love, so you'll enjoy those for sure. Josh couldn't make this recording session, but the good news is that with so much material still to cover in the next part of this book review, there will be plenty of chances for him to bless us with his musings!
