Ep. 47 I Saw That Going Differently In My Mind

This week, Andrew, Daniel, and Josh sit down to talk about Rhuidean, the Aiel, and Aviendha's bags? Coming at you, straight from the Black Tower grounds, we break down the first four of the nine visions that Rand Al'Thor sees on his trip to Rhuidean. And, for all of those thinking, "That's a strange number to do," don't you worry your pretty little heads, cause there is a Part 2 coming at you later on!

Thanks, and have a pleasant week!

Ep. 46 Our Orcs are Different/Shadowspawneronis/2Shadow2Spawn - Pt. 2

Daniel, Andrew, and Josh get together and finish out discussion of the Shadowspawn. Funfact, this episode's working title was "Shadowspawneronis" as Daniel will make sure you know. This time we talk about the Gholam, Darkhounds, Zomara, Gray Men, and Draghkar. This one is super funny for sure!

Ep. 45 - Our Orcs are Different

The guys get together and begin a discussion on the Shadowspawn/Shadowwrought in general. This first part manages to cover the Trollocs, Myrddraal (again but not as in depth this time), Jumara, Cafar, and Forgers. That's a good five out of the ten general types of Shadowspawn right? Right. Next week we will cover the rest of the Dark One's own creatures, or the children of Aginor if you prefer. Huge shoutout to Boydok on our Discord for the episode title idea, as well as to Kate Reading and Michael Kramer for the recorded spoiler warning from way back!

Ep. 42 The Great Captains Pt. 6

Hey Everyone!
Unfortunately, Andrew was feeling under the weather this week, so he was unable to join us, but Josh and Daniel sit down and discuss more Wheel of Time than you can fit in a box!
This week brings the special surprise that all of you were promised on our last episode, the conclusion of the "Great Captains" series. Now, some of you may be wondering, "Black Tower, there are only 5 Great Captains, who could possibly be the 6th?" And to that we say, you'll need to listen to find out.
The episode features us staying, more or less, on track, as well as some shoutouts, a good number of jokes, and two guys just having a good time talking about something they like. So, pop in, and see what all the fuss is about.

Ep. 41 The Great Captains Pt. 5

Josh, Andrew, and Daniel take some time to cut up and just have a grand ole time while discussing the final Wheel of Time Great Captain, Rodel Ituralde. This one is definitely NSFW at many points, but that just means that it is saturated with the sort of humor and jokes you've come to know and love.

Illian is discussed in there as well, along with more of Rand being just...dumb.
