Unexpected Encounters - The Gathering Storm chapter 12 - EP520

Feb 06 2025 85 mins

Today’s chapter is a hefty chunk of plot resolution and common sense being interpreted as cleverness. Egwene is getting stuff done! We also ponder if forkroot rules have been retconned and how subterfuge can affect the Darkfriend oaths.

Today’s chapter is an absolutely fantastic Bubble of Evil with Aviendha, culminating in the classic scene on the Daryl K Sweet covers.

Ituralde puts off facing the inevitable by relaying a story that triggers Seth to go on his patented “juggling doesn’t work like that” rant, while Aradia ponders if an apparent plot hole merits a deep dive into the history of tobacco cultivation in the US South.

Nightfall & A Tale of Blood - The Gathering Storm chapters 4 & 5 - EP515

Dec 26 2024 90 mins

We open on a Gawyn chapter, beginning a pattern of complaining that we decide to sweeten with some silly headcanon just to stretch the runtime. Next we turn to Harene and her very interesting potential to ask a question someday, and finally we visit Cadsuane and her presently ineffective questioning of Semirhage.

We got a season 3 trailer!!! But Seth is so distracted by buying a house that we move on fairly quickly. Egwene gives a piece of advice that Aradia genuinely holds onto in times of doubt, Aviendha has imposter syndrome so bad it feels like a callout, and we agree that while Sanderson might be an apple to RJ’s onion he also does understand the central thesis about the difference b

Seth turns 43, Aradia has the Christmas tree up already, and the wind of the opening paragraph gets hit with a bubble of evil as it heads towards Rand at peak burnout. We see Sanderson laying out his priorities for the book and his writing in the narrative choices in the chapter, and get adjusted to seeing the characters through his eyes.

WoTSpoilers returns with a new season, a new book, and of course a new author of that book. That’s right, the Sanderson Era begins now, and with it our final trilogy of books in this podcast project. The land is one with the Dragon, and the land is ready to fight back. We cover the first three of six POVs in the prologue; this week is Renald Fanwar, Falendre the sul’dam, and Ty
