The Wheel Reads: A Wheel Of Time Podcast Alan Witt

This is my second time listening to these guys, the perfect combination of humor, personal stories, and loads and loads of invaluable information. Read and listened to the series and these guys are still pointing out a few things I never put together. By far my absolute favorite podcast. Thanks Ian Allen and the other one I forget! Pretty sure it’s the big dude who reminds me of perin 😂😂

I picked this pod up because I was in the middle of a WoT re-read and wanted some additional perspective. I listened to a couple of episodes and couldn’t get into it.

The speaking volume and cadence is way too low. Almost like they are recording in a library and want to be discreet.

Took 30-35 minutes to get into the content because we were getting grocery store and insurance updates.

Unfortunately I’ll have to find a new WoT companion pod

These guys have some pretty great insight into a lot of this series due to how slow they read. If it wasn’t such a sausage fest I would give it five stars.

Anytime a female main character has sex, they automatically assume that woman is pregnant. Like a woman’s first and foremost purpose is reproduction.

In another example, During one scene with Valen Luca, they complain that Nynaeve is flirting too much with one man - like she was harassing him. In the next breath, they all support Luca harassing Nynaeve for the exact same purpose. He had to “shoot his shot” (Chris) and that was what he should have done.

But they do have some great insight to the series that a lot of people will miss because they are reading faster. They even noticed some stuff I’ve missed and I’ve read this series 27 times. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone that is reading for the first time.

And honestly, the personal stuff at the beginning is not a downside. It’s a nice addition. Regardless of how much of it is true - lookin at you Ian! - it’s both entertaining and adds another layer of depth. You can see where the sausage fest began and how it became the football arena of vienna wieners that it is.
