    Episode 32: Chapters 55 and 56

    **I would like to start with an apology for the late upload. Thank you for your understanding** Tonight we are going over Chapter 55: Flame and Thunder, and Chapter 56: Patrons, Maids, and Metheglin. We learn the beginning of what Ambrose will do to mess with Kvothe, everyone's reactions to the tale of Aeluine and Savien, and as Matt would say "Bae has arrived." Pull up a log around the dire as we break it all down.

    Episode 31: A Place to Burn

    Tonight we are going over Chapter 54: A Place to Burn. Apparently we can keep up singular chapter episodes for a solid 3 episodes. Kvothe finally plays for the Eolian, I know I've been waiting for this chapter for a while. Theres honestly so much good stuff in this one I am not sure what to give a taste of in this description. This is one of the better chapters in the book, if you've made it this far just listen to this one, trust me. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.

    Episode 30: Slow Circles

    Tonight we are going over Chapter 53: Slow Circles. Two episodes for singular chapters!? How long can we keep it up? I hope there are some people that appreciate dedicating a whole episode to the introduction of Auri. Get your tinfoil hats ready, because we go over some of the most interesting theories about her. Could she be a princess, or a fey? Is she the one rescued from a sleeping barrow king? Could she be the one who names him Dulator? Don't worry, I'll bring all this up again as more information is brought forth. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down. PS. Let me know if the audio sounds better now. Thanks!

    Episode 29: Burning

    Tonight we are diving into Chapter 52: Burning. Feels like it's been a while since we had an episode dedicated to one chapter, but it's a great one, even if Matt thinks its boring. Kvothe's bit off more than he can chew, and his friends think it might be terminal. We learn about Binder's Chills, and Kvothe is promptly fired from his part time job. Possibly the most important thing in the chapter though, we get mention of the aeolian. Pull up a log around the fire and join us as we break it all down. PS. I think this is the last episode with subpar audio. Thank you for bearing with us.

    Episode 28: Chapters 50 & 51

    Tonight we are going over chapter 50: Negotiations and chapter 51: Tar and Tin Let the bickering begin. We get the arrival of a Goated character, despite what Matt thinks, and we get a brief explanation of Runes. Entirely convincing me that it is complicated, annoying, and not worth the effort. We also get a hint of someone spying on Kvothe. Could it be a lost princess, or a moon fey. Only time will tell. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.

    Episode 27: Chapters 47, 48 & 49

    Tonight we are going to go over chapter 47: Barbs, chapter 48: Interlude - A Silence of a Different Kind, and chapter 49: The Nature of Wild Things. We still do three chapter episodes? I guess it's hard not to when some of these chapters are so short. We see Kvothe enter a business arrangement regarding a mutual hatred between him and his co-owner. Bast admits to becoming far too scared of things since meeting Kvothe, coincidence? And our Hagrid sized interpretation of Kilvin is squashed. Pull up a log around the fire as we break it all down.

    Episode 26: The Ever Changing Wind

    Tonight we are going over Chapter 46: The Ever Changing Wind A lot happens in this chapter, and it is honestly one of the funniest chapters of any book I have ever read. If you haven't fallen in love with Elodin by the end of this I don't even know what to tell you. We learn about the crockery, see Elodin call the name of stone, and watch Kvothe go for a short flight Pull up a log and join us by the fire as we break it all down.

    Episode 25: Chapter 44 & 45

    Tonight we are going over Chapter 44: The Burning Class and Chapter 45: Interlude-Some Tavern Tale Kvothe continues his struggle between picking which Master wants him more, and it seems he might pick the one that wants nothing to do with him. The old stern doctor, the burly lamp obsessed engineer, or the certifiable insane asylum escapee. Pull up a log and join us around the fire as we break it all down.
