No wayyy ,

Best WoT podcast out there!

Definitely the best WoT podcast out there for the books. Just finished the whole series and always knew I’d re-read it. This just helped me start the re-read sooner than I expected.

It’s a great dynamic between the 3 hosts. One is a WoT expert and one is reading the series for the first time. I’d highly recommend to anyone who wants something to listen to as they read along, both newcomers and people who are re-reading.

Excellent

This is by far the best WoT podcast. And I’ve tried listening to several. Gets better each season. I’m currently reading book 4 but it’s great to go back each week and listen to these guys cover previous books and chapters. Plus they are great at avoiding spoilers while giving a lot of nuggets to chew on. Highly recommended.

ighghghggggggghhhhh ,

I’m really enjoying this podcast

I’m really enjoying this podcast so far, I’ve tried to listen to a few other Wheel of Time related podcasts and haven’t really been a fan of any of them. But this one has been excellent so far!
