Love y’all!

I’ve never had people in my life to gush and vent about WOT with until I found this show - it feels like a conversation with friends about a beloved book series. Genuinely thought provoking and always deeply funny. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing podcast

Sally and Emily bring humor and intellect to this very long book series. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found them when I started a reread in ‘20. I feel like I’ve had two friends on this journey! Highly recommend supporting their Patreon 💕📚

Best WoT podcast

Their Path of Daggers commentary was ingenious.
