What's this? A PG-13 episode from BTP? Yes friends, this one is actually a clean episode! In this one we sit down with the amazing Tai'Shar Manetheren Podcast and talk about what humor is in The Wheel of Time. It may not have all the profanity and crude humor you are used to, however it's no less of an exciting and fun episode. Take a listen, feel free to listen around the family and/or at work, and when you're done go give Sam and Will at TSM Podcast a listen!

Oh yes happy day! Finally, after fifty-eight episodes, the boys at the Black Tower Podcast are finally discussing the woman everyone loves. Moiraine has her debut episode here with us and we couldn't have enjoyed it more. Well, that's a lie, we would've enjoyed it more had Josh been able to be with us, but all is well that ends well.

Ep. 58 - New Year, Same Old Bullssshhhhhhhh

It's a New Year, so new we're still not used to writing 2020 instead of 2019 yet. RIP to all the papers with scratch marks across the date. We apologize for missing two episodes for you guys, but hopefully this nice lengthy slice of beef will satisfy your Podcast needs! It's a throw back to our first true episode (Sexism in the Wheel of Time.) Here we discuss an article (linked below) authored by Oren Ashkenazi with the Mythcreants Podcast (we love you guys! This isn't a diss or anything). So be prepared for what's coming listeners!

Ep. 57 - That Suggestively Shaped Island

Intro Music Heroic Demise license by CC 3.0
You know that one weirdly shaped, but super important island right down from the slopes of dic-uh...we mean Dragonmount? Well, that's what this episode is all about. Come enjoy the surprising, or maybe not so surprising, violent history behind the seat of female channeling power in the modern age. There's jokes (because who wouldn't know why the island looks the way it does. I mean...come on), there's tons of history and lore, and just an all around fantastic time. Yes, they may have spent the better part of memorable history trying to gentle us into death, but why not still talk about the iconic island that is Tar Valon!

Ep. 56 - The Gathering Storm - Book Review

It's the first Friday of the month and we all know what that means. Book Review!! We're getting close to the series climax here with Book 12 The Gathering Storm. It's a book full of extreme plot development, emotional stress, and even some resolutions that we've been waiting for. Come along with us (Andrew, Daniel, and Josh) as we talk through this very meaty novel. 
Some of the jokes here are a result of our pre-recording, which is available for our Patreons to enjoy at https://www.patreon.com/Blacktowerpod

Ep. 55 Is Your Empress a Little Boy?

Your second heaping helping of madness is right on the heels of your first!
That's right, everyone, this week (since you didn't get any last week) you get not one, but two episodes from the Black Tower!
In today's episode, Josh and I sit down and talk about one of the characters we "hate to love" and "love to hate." All the way from Seanchan, it's the Daughter of the Nine Moons! Why nine? Why moons? Who knows! But we do have a great chat about the Seanchan, their new Empress, and what might happen after the Wheel of Time is over. Stick around!

Ep. 54 Technically Hell, the Best Kind of Hell

Hello Everyone!
First off, we want to thank everyone for their patience. As you can tell, based on the title of this episode and the delay of getting it out, it was a rough one to edit. Both Andrew and I took a crack at it and came up short. However, we are committed to getting you your weekly doses of madness, so I persevered to bring you this episode. Again, thank you for your understanding and we will have more coming for you, literally, right after this!
That being said, we dive in this episode to talk about the most recent casting news (Tam Al'Thor,) Rafe Judkins's comments about his initial feelings and season 2, as well as rabbit holes about YouTube comments and "Air-o-soft" guns. It's a really fun episode, and we had a great time making it for all of you. Hope you enjoy!
Speaking of enjoying (or not enjoying) please feel encouraged to reach out and tell us what we are doing well/badly on any of our platforms! We have right here on Podbean, our Twitter page @TowerPodcast, email at blacktowerpod@gmail.com and our wonderful Discord server https://discord.gg/Rxghe2x
Have a great week, y'all!

It's what we've all been waiting for! The PLOD is over and we can finally get to a very handy book. If you get the joke you get it. Come along with Andrew and Daniel as we explore the happenings in Book 11 of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. It's a very special book, being the last book Jordan authored himself and we hope we've done this review justice!

Ep. 51 I Will Not Apologize

Hey everyone!
We're back! For episode 51 I, Daniel, would like to apologize for the lateness, and welcome you! Life got away from me this week, but we will be back to regularly scheduled releases on the 1st of November, barring any unforeseen issues.
That being said, hello! This week Andrew and Daniel dive deep in to one of the more favorite characters in the series, Nynaeve al'Meara. Once Wisdom of a small town, Nynaeve captures hearts, minds, and passions of readers throughout the series, and becomes an incredibly important figure. We'll get into the finer points of her channeling, relationships, fears, and triumphs, so buckle up, buttercup!
