The name of the pod is the perfect description. The hosts dig deep into each chapter and are very knowledgeable. Even on rereads I lose the thread sometimes and this pod keeps me grounded. Above everything, the passion the hosts have for this series and RJ shines through.
In response to negative reviews. Yes, there is a transition period when Aradia took Patrick’s place. Trust me, keep listening and Aradia will quickly earn your adoration. She is very smart, witty, and puts a lot of effort into perfecting this medium.
Some points of praise:
-Very smart for them to bring in a bunch of guests at the point Patrick left. I’ve discovered so many more podcasts thru there guests.
-Amazingly well produced pod for a 2 person effort
-Brilliant idea smattering the last chapter of WH throughout CoT
-Love how they go over popular fan theories and even bring in new very interesting theories
-I always love hearing these two randomly start talking about science
My only (small) nitpick:
-It gets frustrating when the hosts essentially invalidate Sanderson’s writing because RJ would have done everything different. All of us are in the same boat, we would’ve wanted RJ to finish the series and had a hard time adjusting/accepting a new host, I mean author…sound familiar? At the same time, I do appreciate their real authenticity.
