We've Got WARD

I was never one to excel in my English classes back in school, and literary analysis made me want to bash my head against a wall. And yet, this podcast still got through to me and made me think about Wildbow’s work (and writing in general) to a much higher degree. I don’t think Worm or Ward would be half the books they are to me if I hadn’t been pushed to not just notice themes, but to question and come to my own opinions on them. Matt and Scott’s insights into storytelling are always thoughtful and detailed, and I find even areas where I disagree with their reads or conclusions still valuable to gaining a more complete view of the text. TLDR: this podcast is pretty great, and I can’t wait to see what they’ll do now that Ward is wrapping up.

This show has increased my enjoyment and appreciation of my two favorite books by a factor of at least 1.25 while being entertaining all on its own. I've listened along with Scott and Matt for all of Worm and Ward, and every episode so far analysing the chapters has provided valuable insight that I never would've had on my own. Even if you're a strong reader, I still recomend this show. It's at the very least a nice way to enjoy Worm and Ward again if you don't feel like rereading the books.

WGW and DiP are the only reasons I have a podcast app. There are few better uses of time than to listen to the fine people of Doof discussing the various masterpieces of Wildbow and if you have yet to experience either then now is your chance.

What an asset this podcast is to Wildbow's writing community. This podcast has got me through hundreds of hours of working in the lab, commuting, cooking and cleaning. I've actually become a lot more productive since finding it! When I tell people about Worm and Ward, one of the first things I mention is that there exists an amazing podcast that analyses and discusses the work in a way that greatly enhances the reading. Matt and Scott are funny, insightful and much more intelligent than I am when it comes to picking up all the small extra parts that would only usually be noticed on at least a second or third read. Whether you're listening after finishing Worm or listening while you read along to Ward, it allows the reader to expand their understanding of the books to a level that could not be achieved without it. If you have read or are reading either Worm or Ward, this is a must-listen. I LOVE THIS!
