    CHANCELLOR HERMA - Character Profile with special guest John 'from Vintas'

    Listeners, this episode counts for one and a half! Chancellor Herma, the Master Linguist, is "on the horns" as our character profile subject today. And, my friend John of Two Geek Soup is here to talk about languages and linguistics along with a whole host of other topics. Hope you enjoy! Interesting facts in this episode: Yllish knots and culture, quantum entanglement, languages throughout the history of Temerant and University students who study them (we may have forgotten some), Herma’s illness and what (OR WHO) could be behind it, the Archives and waystones, studying language in the real world, language quirks in Estonian, and more.  Show notes - in this discussion, we forget several languages/the Kingkiller Wiki forgets several: Modegan, Lenatti/Lanetti (I assume that’s a language?), and *music*. My next episode will be a more recent recording and I know I have one fan question to answer, so if you’ve got more email me at etrsop@gmail.com. Also I’m working on a new essay post on my Ko-Fi so make sure you check that out at ko-fi.com/etrsop and perhaps slide a few shims, talents, copper pennies, gold royals, straelem, etc. to help support a small creator :)  THANK YOU to my good friend John of Two Geek Soup for a great chat, as always. You can follow him on Facebook here. And thank you, listeners!

    The FELLING NIGHT Crowd - Character profiles

    Pull up a seat at the bar, as we turn the spotlight on the regulars at Newarre's very own Waystone Inn -- Old Cob, Graham, Jake, Carter, Shep (RIP), and Aaron the smith's prentice. In this episode, we discuss the stories that Old Cob (and Chronicler) tell about Kvothe and Taborlin, what these interludes can tell us about the overall story, and how these guys might play into Day Three. This podcast will keep rolling along at its own pace like a meandering caravan - thank you for all the support! Anchor.fm has been rolled into Spotify and there are some new processes on the back end, so please let me know if there is anything weird with the feed. Find me (rarely) on Twitter at twitter.com/etrsop or email me, etrsop@gmail.com. If you want to support the podcast, leave a five-star review on your favorite podcatcher, or buy Jacob Walker a coffee (maybe he'll lighten up) at ko-fi.com/etrsop.

    TRAPIS and religion in Temerant - With special guest John from Two Geek Soup

    How is the road to Tinue, my friends? We're coming up on the end of another year, and my friend John from Vintas stopped by the troupe to talk about Trapis - just in time for Midwinter! We talk about Kvothe's time in Tarbean, compare what we know about religion in Temerant, and discuss parallels between the Tehlin religion and real-world faiths from our own backgrounds studying Christianity and the Bible. We of course talk about the story of Tehlu and Encanis, and pack a lot of other discussion in, too. Hope you enjoy! If you want to share your thoughts or feedback, email me at etrsop@gmail.com. You can support the podcast by leaving a glowing review on your chosen podcatcher or ⁠toss a talent to my Ko-Fi!⁠ Thank you to patrons Amanda, Kevin, and Jim and emailer Greg for your support and enthusiasm :)

    Interlude - Patrons, maids, and metheglin (and the true names of things)

    HELLO! We are preparing to dust off our cloaks of no particular color and get back to it. Checking in with some housekeeping, some thank-yous, and some self-deprecation :) I also went back through all my old episodes to find the true name of RJ...or something like that. Reach me at etrsop@gmail.com or check out my Ko-Fi!

    Interlude - Roads to Safe Places (Pod Update + Book Recommendations)

    The troupe is settling down for a bit as RJ takes a little time to clear the waters of the ol' creative well.
