    329 - SoF Ch.60 - Propaganda & Pyrotechnics

    Grab a drink and settle in with Jade and Nate! We're kicking off this episode with some massive news: Nate has officially left the saw shop for a brand-new office role, and he's raising a glass of 14-year-old Glenfiddich single malt scotch to celebrate. Once the congratulations are out of the way, we're diving straight into the absolute chaos of Chapter 60 of Soul of the Fire. In Fairfield, Richard, Kahlan, and D watch from the shadows as a massive candlelit rally quickly turns into a highly scripted propaganda show. Coached kids are put on stage to paint Richard as a monster, and a speaker named Privet drags his name through the mud with some wild personal attacks about his "boundless lust" and secret pregnant wives. But before the crowd can get any rowdier, things go from bad to worse when the terrifying magic of the Chimes strikes, setting people ablaze in the middle of the square. A sudden downpour puts out thousands of candles, but it can't extinguish the unnatural fire burning the victims. With the panicked mob blaming Richard for the horror, the group is forced to make a run for their horses—leaving Richard more determined than ever to break into the library and stop this magical mess once and for all. Plus, Kahlan spots a midwife sign on the way out, a cheeky reminder that both she and D have some very pregnant implications to face soon! Connect with us!

    328 - SoF Ch.59 - The Minister Of Misinformation

    Join Jade and Nate as they dive into Chapter 59 of Soul of the Fire for a heavy dose of Anderith propaganda! In this episode, Bertrand embraces his new role as Sovereign by delivering a fiery, manipulative speech to the masses. Dalton Campbell, Tess, and Hildy watch from the balcony as Bertrand masterfully wields fearmongering against Lord Rahl and the Mother Confessor, blaming them for dead waters, ruined air, and dangers to children. We break down the sheer effectiveness of this misinformation campaign and how buzzwords like "children" and "war" are used to whip the crowd into a manipulated frenzy. Meanwhile, Dalton is officially named the Minister of Culture, but Tess's tearful, over-the-top gratitude toward the Sovereign highlights a massive, growing crack in their relationship. If that wasn't enough to make you mad at him, Dalton cements his status as a terrible friend by visiting the disgusting local dungeons to release Serin Rajak—the dangerous, one-eyed zealot who previously tortured and hanged his friend Franca. Craft Brew Segment: For our beer break, we tap into Deep Shade, a 9% ABV coffee Imperial Stout from ME packed with notes of espresso and dark chocolate that literally exploded all over the basement floor during brewing! Grab your subversive craft brew, tune in for the read-through, and let us know your thoughts on Dalton's betrayal in your journey books! Connect with us!
