Customer Reviews
My Go To Podcast!
No better way to reread WOT than to listen along with Gus and Alli. These two are hilarious and engaging. Gus is great about avoiding any spoilers while Alli is original with her names and speculations. A MUST listen!
Outstanding!
As I expect is the case for several others I’m here solely to review the content related to the Wheel of Time TV series, which is what brought me to this podcast. I have no doubt the rest of the podcast is as entertaining, and will likely listen along as I do my next reread, but I don’t have time to dedicate to this monster of a podcast at the moment. The show episodes though…there is nearly four times the runtime from this podcast as there is in the show itself. The final episode was about 7 hours long. Every second was a joy for me! As a long-time reader of the book series (having completed some of the volumes several times and the series twice I believe), I was extremely excited for the show to come out. I knew it would be different, and was generally not disappointed by the changes (with some exceptions). I tried to articulate the changes and what I thought the reasoning was…but then I listened to Wheel Takes. I feel vindicated! I’m neither a film nor literature expert. Rather, I’m interested in learning about the crafts and the way things come together. I’m the type who loves DVD/Bluray extras, fan theories, and extra stuff. So when I saw the show, I had some ideas of why the changes had to be made. When I caught a recommendation for this podcast, I added it to the queue, and it was like hearing all of my ideas (and far, far more) coming back to me in a clearer form. Ali *is* a film expert, particularly for television, and knows what it takes to get a story put to screen. Between her thoughts and those of Gus, I’ve begun celebrating the show even more. Is it flawless? Not at all. But is it a legitimate position that it’s done an extremely good job of presenting the story in a way that appeals to veterans and rookies alike? Absolutely! These two (and their guests) have successfully solidified my love for the show and made me extremely excited both for future seasons of that and for future installments of this podcast. One of these days, I’ll start a reread of the series…partly just so I can listen to this podcast episode-by-episode
So much fun!
Ali & Gus are incredibly entertaining! I’m a diehard fan of the books. I’ve read them all 4-5 times. I still love listening to these two & their hilarious tangents. If you enjoy recaps, hot takes, hilarious metaphors, LOTS of thirsty comments, and just general good times, listen to this pod!
