With emotion and empathy, bursts of humor and a fair few F-bombs, this spoilery topical literary analysis of Robert Jordan's fantasy series looks at characters, themes, plots, scenes and other Wheel of Time subjects while following the path of the story. For fans familiar with the books looking for something different. (Expect full spoilers, including references from New Spring, WoT Companion, Wiki, Dragonmount, Theoryland, etc.)

Customer Reviews
Academic, Entertaining, Fantastic!
I love the smart and fun analysis of the series. This podcast takes RJs work seriously, but doesn’t take itself too seriously.
I’m starting at the beginning and working my way through the episodes, and loving that I’m being made to think about elements of the series in a different way.
Keep up the good work Morgan!
Yep
Great wealth of information presented in a very pleasing manor.
Going deeper on WoT
As a WoT super fan, it’s wonderful to find a podcast that examines themes of the books in such an organized and thematic way (Morgan, would you be a White???). Subbing, loving, thank you!
