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.
