Welcome back to this, our penultimte episode for The Fires of Heaven!

Nynaeve and Elayne make it to Salidar where they're given a rather cold welcome, and their companions find their own way of integrating with the group already gathered there. But before then they have to fight their way through the streets of Samara to make it onto a boat.

Min finally comes clean to Elayne about being one of Rand's love interests, and Elayne is thankfully quite gracious about it.

Back in Cairhien Rand is plotting his next move when he receives news from Caemlyn as well as 2 letters from Tar Valon.

The stage is set for a massive finale, and that's saying a lot considering the battle we just experienced in the previous episode!

Jody mentions this link to a reenactment of Valda and Galad's duel by Youtube channel Way of The Heron, and here it is:

And just like that we're back from the dead! Well, a 2 week break, but it feels like forever!

In this episode we cover, basically, a long walk through a mountain pass. Rand and the Aiel come across a village at the mouth of Jangai Pass that's been ravaged by the Shaido, and Rand has to start managing the Aiel perception and treatment of wetlanders.

Rand and Aviendha continue their dance of cluelessness vs. stubborness, Mat goes one on one with a Fade and Egwene meets up with Elayne in T'A'R to exchange information.

Egwene also draws the unwated attention of Moghedien in the world of dreams, walking into traps she doesn't even understand. Hell, we don't even understand them!

Welcome back to Blood and Ashes: Eyes and Ears Edition!

Nynaeve and Elayne identify a member of the Yellow Ajah message network but their interaction does not go down well. Not as well as a delicious cup of Forkroot tea. Luckily Thom and Juilin have their wits about them.

Then Siuan gets a crucial clue from a bawdy tavern, giving her their next destination, but the wily ol' Gareth Bryne and his group of geriatric soldiers are surprisingly, hot on their heels!

The girls then have a brief encounter with everyone's favourite ring master, Valan Luca, before bedding down in a small town and catch up with Egwene in Tel'aran'rhiod, and check in with Birgitte Silverbow.

Fun times laced with some pretty childish behaviour. Let's discuss!

Welcome back to a very special episode of the podcast. One with a touching dedication which I'll let Jody make in the episode itself.

Then we get back to our regular shenanigans, recapping and discussing Rand's coterie of women that can't seem to leave him alone, Egwene and Aviendha's burgeoning friendship, a healthy dose of teaching from the Wise Ones, and a darkhound attack. Mat is also there. And you can cut the tension between Rand and Aviendha with a knife.

Rand reveals his next move to the Aiel clan chiefs and permanently frustrated Moiraine, and before we call it a day we check in with Nynaeve, Elayne, Thom and Juilin as a nice teaser for the next episode.

We get treated to wide range of points of view this week as we check in with our main cast and a number of ancillary characters we haven't seen in a while. Some pleasant, some less so...

Rand, Mat, Moiraine, Lan and the Aiel have departed from Rhuidean and have made their way to Imre Stand. But things are not exactly going to plan.

We jump to Tanchico as Nynaeve, Elayne, Thom and Juilin arrive on the Seafolk Raker, and get some great plot development from Egeanin's point of view as she glimpses a number of familiar faces. 

The girls team up with Bayle Domon to root out the Black Ajah, and we get some extened scenes with Jaichim Carridin and the Black Ajah sisters before we jump all the way to the Two Rivers where Perrin is waging an ongoing assault on the trollocs that have invaded his homeland.

There is plotting, scheming, massive implications for long standing loyalties, multiple battles and a particularly rowdy night in an inn for Elayne. Quite the smorgasbord of plotlines, so enjoy!

Welcome back! In this episode we stick with the two main plotlines: Perrin in the Two Rivers and Rand, Mat & Egwene in the Waste.

Perrin is starting to come into his own, giving orders to respected Two Rivers elders, barking at Aes Sedai and organising the farm folk against the dual assault of Whitecloaks and Trollocs. He also puts Slayer in his place and it all just feels... right. And everyone agrees!

Rand and Mat emerge from Rhuidean to, well, not exactly exultation and fanfare. In fact, it's downright hostility from the get-go, even from Aviendha. But Rand knows what needs doing and sets his own path now. 

Mat. Wonderful, cocky Mat. Always ready to lighten the mood. Bless him.

And now for something completely different... Well, somewhat different.

Join us for a trip down memory lane as we travel with Rand through the history of the Aiel in the glass columns in Rhuidean. We recount his visions in chronological order in a bid to make it more digestible. Let us know if we succeeded at all!

Then Perrin, Faile, Gaul, Bain, Chiad and Loial have an encounter in the Ways before making it to Emond's field and getting some bad news.

It's an emotional roller coaster this episode, so hold onto your feelings, we're going in...

We're in for a real treat here, folks!

Not only do we get a very rare glimpse into the thoughts of our favorite Blue Ajah champion, but we get a big dose of culture and lore dumps from not one, but TWO thus far mysterious nations: The Sea folk and our beloved Aiel!

Nynaeve and Elayne book passage on a Sea Folk raker, making some interesting discoveries in the process. They're joined by Thom and Juilin as the group sets off for Tanchico.

Rand, Mat, Egwene, Moiraine and Lan set off for the Waste with their company of Aiel warriors, but not before Rand does something pretty incredible in the Heart of the Stone to keep the Tairen nobles in line.

It's another doozy of an episode coming in at well over 3h, so sit back and enjoy!

There's a lot going on here. 

In this episode Perrin sets off via the Ways on his quest to liberate the Two Rivers from the Whitecloaks, in a bizarre and spiteful arrangement with Faile. Good thing they have Aiel backup.

Egwene meets Amys in Tel'aran'rhiod and is summoned to The Waste to learn about Dreaming. 

Nynaeve, Elayne and Aviendha prepare to leave for Tanchico, and Moiraine asks Thom to accompany them after meeting with the Aelfinn. 

Oh, and Rand and Mat also go see the Aelfinn, nearly destroying their world in the process.

We even have some romantic moments, one subtle and touching, the other ridiculous and over-the-top, but they're both great.

We hope you enjoy it! Let us know:
