Wind's Howling: A Witcher Podcast

Love this podcast! As someone who has read the books but not played the games, it’s nice to get some context about how gamers are experiencing the Netflix show and even better to be able to “compare notes” with the hosts about how the show is portraying the themes and characters from the books. I love the spoiler casts at the end of each season where they go into everything from the books and raise questions that also occurred to me while I was watching the show. Overall, I think Abu and Brett strike a good balance between being enthusiastic about the show while also giving their honest opinions. Thanks, guys!

This is a really good show. The lads are deeply aware of the lore and their opinions are coherent, understandable and fair. Wind’s Howling is certainly one of the most concise Witcher podcasts out there, especially as it relates to the Netflix show. However I will say that I am disappointed that Brett’s opinions and takes change depending on what podcast he is hosting. “On the Path” is another great podcast hosted by Brett, and he’s expressed downright opposite opinions of exactly the same moments of the Netflix adaptation as he has shared on this podcast. This makes it hard to listen to either beyond as background noise. Stick to your guns man, no matter who your cohost is……

Definitely the best Witcher podcast. Very much appreciate that the authors are well versed in the book lore-and do a great job helping the rest of us better understand the series.I love and agree with their takes and opinions- great stuff. One gripe that almost made me not give a five star rating—please stop with the thinly-veiled spoilers (often literally right after saying ‘we’re not going to give anything away’). Saying ~~oh Siri’s going to be spending some time alone in the future, etc.- or things like this that very clearly reference what may be coming, is a SHOW SPOILER- not just a book spoiler. I know a lot is different from the books, but most of the main elements are similar enough that these veiled allusions to what’s going to happen absolutely serve as show spoilers. Thanks!

The hosts are well versed in the media and are fair in their opinions. I really enjoy their views. This is a podcast for people who are open to the alternate story lines in Netflix’s Witcher.
