For fans of the series who want to sit in on a chat with good buddies as they re-read the series, reminisce, and try to remember the many threads of WoT. These guys will make you both laugh out loud and argue with your speaker! Cannot recommend enough. 10 out of 5 stars.
Great idea to a podcast with spoilers for all the ones who have read the books a while ago. It saves me the reread and I love the discussions (having no friends who have read the books already)! Greetings from germany
Hi this is the best WOT podcast out there. Finally caught up. I’m a long time reader and re reader. I’m re reading along with you all and now realise how much I did not remember or even connect. Thank you for bringing all the threads together finally. Can’t wait for more of your discussions about the the remaining books.
I’m listening along in place of my first reread of the series. (I don’t have the time to do a full reread but I’m not ready to leave WoT behind yet.) I love how passionate the guys are about the characters, the world building, the story, etc. They pull in fun facts/theories from external sources in addition to their own interpretations/theories, and they aren’t afraid to speculate wildly, mispronounce things, and just enjoy themselves. I’ve only listened to the first two books so far, but I’m al... more
love how they describe every chapter and make silly jokes!!! They explain a lot of information that I miss because so much happens in this series.

Three hosts guide a spoiler-filled, chapter-by-chapter reread of a sprawling fantasy series, mixing detailed chapter recaps with world-building lore, character threads, and ongoing political dynamics. They welcome listener voice notes and theories, blending humor with passionate debates about battles, power structures, and notable arcs, while also offering meta-commentary on pacing and authorial choices. A standout is the community-driven vibe, where fan contributions frequently steer the conversation and theories, making it feel like a club with shared memories and hot takes. The format tends to skew casual, personal, and theory-forward, which can be especially engaging for longtime readers and new listeners who enjoy speculative discussio... more
