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. 76 Not a LAMP!!
Friday May 15, 2020
Friday May 15, 2020
Ladies and gentlemen, there has been a crime committed in the Wheel of Time fandom. A crime that we, as Asha'man, cannot let pass by unaddressed. The character of Min has been attacked...slandered...and we cannot have this. Now, whether you agree or disagree the topic is always fun to discuss. Maybe take a bit of time while you're relaxing in quarantine, or perhaps hard at work at your skeleton crew office, and take a listen at what we have to say. Then, let us know what you think! As always the only thing we ask is this.....Asha'man...ENJOY!

Friday May 08, 2020
This week, Andrew, Daniel, and Josh finish up part four in our, far too long running, deep dive into Elayne, and all that she brought to the table in The Wheel of Time. We talk through a bit of the last battle, Andor's supremacy as the culture we know the most about, and last thoughts to wrap this all up in a nice little bow. Elayne would truly be proud of us!
And, while this segment may be finished, we have many more to come, and are always talking about fun things on our Discord!

Honestly, you are all wonderful, and we really appreciate every single person who has joined us for this crazy journey.
If you'd like to be extra generous, and we know that is not something everyone can do in these times, join us for the extra fun over at our patreon where you can get extra "prerecording" episodes where we do things like, consider The Wheel's deepest questions, pour ourselves drinks for your ASMR pleasure, and debate the finer points of the MCU. Also, consider picking up some swag from our shop over on Spreadshirt (https://shop.spreadshirt.com/black-tower-podcast/) we know they could use the business, we could use the ego boost, and you could use one of the many different things they sell! We have a number of different designs, including chibi Asha'man, and more will be coming.
Well, that's the news from Randland where all the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the children are above average.

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."

You don't want to miss this one!

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.

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!
