Ep. 67 Memories of Memories Pt. 1

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!

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
