What a mix in this episode!

Three forsaken in one room. That goes about as well as you'd imagine. ThenCadsuane and Sorilea in one room, another clash of strong personalities...

Rand is scooping up the remnants of Lord Brend's army in the countryside and then gets reports from Eben Hopwill, Fedwin Morr and Torval before sending them all off. Narishma gets some special instructions too...

And we get back to Egwene who has had another obstacle put in her way. Quite literally. An army.

Welcome back, friends! Or are we the ones that are back? I forget.

In this episode we bear witness to poor Mat being completely victimised by Tylin. At least he doesn't seem too cut up about it, but it does generate a good conversation about consent. 

Elayne puts her foot down with the rebel Aes Sedai and finally gets to show Reanne and The Kin who she really is.

And Moghedien shoots her shot, and misses, effectively freeing Nynaeve from her block. Happy days!

Hello and welcome back to the kidnapping corner! 

All jokes aside, wtf tries to kidnap Nynaeve and Elayne in Ebou Dar? TThey meet the Kin, get bustled out and immediately fall afoul of some would-be assailants.

In the meantime Moghedien has to face her fate as a Moridin puppet, and Morgase and co live through the Seanchan invasion of Amadicia. Then walk out the front door.

And finally we have Perrin leave Cairhien behind with quite the entourage.

Welcome back, friends! Sit back, relax, and listen to Willie and I bloviate while Jody sinks deeper into his chair.

Perrin and Faile reunite and make up, and Rand immediately tries to send Perrin to Tear and Illian. Tsk tsk.

Rand then travels to Caemlyn himself to meet with Bashere and Bael. He tells them the army will march on Illian, much to Bael and Bashere's glee.

Meanwhile, Egwene is squeezing Sheriam for info when she senses Moghedien escape. She has one on ones with Siuan and Leane before being cornered by Nicola and Areina who try to blackmail her! Silly geese...

We are spoilt for POVs this episode with pretty much the whole gang here. Except for Perrin...

Egwene is running things in Salidar with the help of Siuan, Nynaeve and Elayne. She also takes control of Mogehedien.

Mat Salidar and immediately things get comical. He also links back up with Thom who seems to be moved by the letter Mat brought him.

Aviendha finally comes clean to Elayne, but for her trouble is informed there is another woman in the mix!

Speaking of which, Min arrives in Caemlyn and is reunited with Rand, even if things don't immediately get as romatic as she had hoped. But a start is a start.

Then, to cap it all off, The Black Tower is officially named. And so are the Asha'man. Goosebumps.

Man, Lord of Chaos just keeps throwing punches.

We start off with arather innocuous chapter following Nynaeve through Salidar as she picks up bits of information from Logain, Siuan, Theodrin, Lelaine and even Moghedien.

We check in Pedron Niall and his spy master(s) as well as Morgase.

And then we switch to Rand who runs into some familiar faces! Some of those faces are a welcome sight, others, not so much. Things go down and they have repercussions for the rest of the story. Huge moment.

And lastly, Rand checks in with Taim and his initiates and gives Taim permission to start even more agressive recruitment. Things are really hotting up at the farm!

I also reference an episode of Podcast of The Dragon which you can find here.

Holy moly. I feel like I say this all the time, but this one's a beefy boy!

Join the boys and I as we're joined by friends of the show, Kerri and Rowan, as we dissect the final 5 chapters and the explosive conclusion to The Fires of Heaven.

We join the gang as they face down THREE forsaken and deal the shadow a massive blow. But not before we're dealt a number of gut punches ourselves as we see some all time favourite characters die. Luckliy, some come back almost immediately!

Rowan's audio isn't great to start off with but it does get better. It's quite a journey we go on so join us and send in your own contributions using the links below!

Hello and welcome to our cozy little episode set almost completely in Valan Luca's menagerie!

Nynaeve meets up with Birgitte in Tel'aran'rhiod, decides a good idea to spy on Moggy, who's spying on the other fab four forsaken, and is ultimately captured by the Spider.

But before Moghedien can enact her evil pla, Birgitte puts an arrow through hjer chest before being unceremoniously ripped from T'A'R by the felled forsaken.

Liandrin pays a hefty price for attempting to strike at Moghedien while she's vulnerable, and Birgitte, now in for corporeal form joins the circus.

It's a short but wild ride! Let us know what you think by reaching out via any of the links below!

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 friendly friends!

In this episode we are... treated? To a bunch of darkfriendery.

First Nynaeve has Birgitte report back on Forsaken activity in Tel'aran'rhiod, and then uses the world of dreams to spy on [GASP] the new Amyrlin Seat! 

Egwene swings the power pendulum back in her own direction, getting one over on an obviously rattled Nynaeve, and then has a lovely conversation with Moiraine as an equal.

BAck in the waking world Nynaeve and Elayne run into Galad and panic, immediately running off to join the circus.

We get a real dose of the dark as Liandrin comes face to face with her new master, Moghedien, and all the remaining Black Ajah sisters in her group get new orders.

Finally, Morgase starts catching on to the fact that Gaebril is no bueno, and makes moves to escape his influence with a rag-tag group of of friends. 

And lastly, Padan Fain and Alviarin have a chat!
