    Episode 10 - Eye on the Finale

    After some real-life related delays, the gleemen are back at the wheel and full of thoughts on the season finale. Some unexpected decisions were made, and your hosts try to make sense of Shienaran tactics, who's dead and who's not, and just how the One Power works on TV. They don't have all the answers, but they do have 10ish minutes to fill.

    Episode 9 - It‘s Dragon Time!

    We're closing in on the end (of Season 1), and now we know just who the Dragon is. The gleemen are here to chat about this week's revelations and set the stage for the big conclusion. There's even a Vonnegut reference along the way. Don't miss out!

    Episode 7 - Full of Feelings

    The Wheel slowed down to take a breath this week. The gleemen are grateful for the chance to talk about feelings, bonds, and villains. They really gotta hand it to Child Valda: he's a jerk. Press play on the podcast for even more insightful commentary!

    Episode 6 - Saidin Hits the Fan

    That dreamy Logain just kicked the Wheel of Time into a new gear! The gleemen gush over the darker half of the One Power, a take on the Tinkers they never expected to see, and a new (to them) version of an old trope. May the Light shine on our heroes, because saidin definitely won't this season.

    Episode 5 - More premiering!

    Amazon premiered three episodes at once. What do they think this is, the prologue to a Wheel of Time novel? The gleemen have more to say about the changes, the mysteries, and the One Power. It's a veritable feast of internet opinions just in time for Turkey Day!

    Episode 4 - The Show Begins

    It's here! The gleemen have seen the show and it's pretty bloody good. They have some thoughts to share on the storytelling, some great changes they've seen so far, and one unfortunate trope that got in there. Also, that one butt. It's a great time to be a Wheel of Time fan and not even ten minutes with the Discount Gleemen can ruin it!

    Episode 3 - Wild Speculation

    With just days left until the show premiers, your hosts do their best to guess how the show will play out. It's one last chance to be wrong (about this) on the internet, and burn me if they don't take full advantage of it.
