E174 It’s the Year of the Dragon!
First off - full spoilers! If you’re one of those brave folks who doesn’t give a fig if you’re spoiled, then go right ahead. All others have been warned.
Inspired by the new year, the year of the dragon, we each picked our favorite Dragon Reborn moment from the book series. It should come as little surprise that we picked something from points in the books that perfectly balance each other. This was a super fun way to take a look at what it means to be the Dragon. What do you think your favorite moment is? Would you be interested in more characters covered this way?

E173 How about a Forsaken focused Age of Legends movie? We’re for it!
Well, it didn’t take long for us to take a little detour from the books to discuss recent news in the WoT world. There’s been another announcement regarding taking Wheel of Time source material and turning it into a movie. What will this movie look like? How will we wrap our heads around new actors for Ishamael and Lanfear now that we love the actors in the WoT show? How deep will they go into the darkness that makes up who the Forsaken become? We are curious and excited and invite you to join us as we hypothesize over what this movie is going to look like.

E172 Gareth Bryne, Boar-horses, and Bad Choices Fires of Heaven Chapters 11-15
We are back in the books! This is a spoiler free episode if you have read up to Fires of Heaven, through chapter fifteen, which happens to be Amber’s favorite chapter in the entire series. There’s a heavy load of sarcasm added to that statement and you should listen to find out why. There’s other stuff that happens that’s definitely on the lighter side, most importantly we are introduced to Valan Luca’s caravan of circus performers. Are those whippets in sparkly tutus we see? If not, we’d like to.
Just a couple of announcements wrap up this episode. Traci has big news and a podcast she’s been working on. Paperback Cabaret can be found on all major podcasting platforms. Click here to find it on Spotify.

E170 Is it coupling or romance? Both? Wheel of Time Romance Investigated
Before you jump in we want you to know, full spoilers for the books and the show.
The Wheel of Time is filled with couples, but how believable are some of these relationships? Are they all needed? Is there any true “romance” found in the book series? The tv series has a chance to do things differently, and indeed has shown us endearing moments that build on the romances barely fleshed out in the books as well as places where maybe certain couples aren’t going to make it to the screen.

Customer Reviews
Best Wheel of Time podcast out there
And it’s not even close. I can’t stand most podcasts (most are boring and not at all insightful), but Traci and Amber have interesting things to say and a great rapport.
I found this podcast when the Amazon series came out, and have been catching up ever since. It also prompted me to reread the books for the first time since finishing the series (after >15-20 years since last reading some of the earlier books).
Great show
I recently read the series and liked hearing the 101’s and was especially thankful for spoiler free time. I wanted more information without getting too much and they balance that well Their chemistry is awesome and they are truly entertaining. Totally worth a listen. Oh and when I finished the 14th book I had little to no interest in reading new spring but had to since hearing them talk about it and talk about it and oh ya talk some more about it. Listen if you haven’t.
Intelligent insight but one of them laughs too much
Love the fact that this show is made and hosted by female podcasters, which is quite lacking. So, well done ladies. My one negative comment is that one of the hosts laughs too much and unnecessarily. It’s kind of annoying and that single thing has made me stop listening a few times. But the content itself is great.
