  • Appreciate this show, but only in small doses

    As a first time reader who found this podcast halfway through my reading of The Dragon Reborn, this podcast was a lifesaver. I realized there were so many small details I’d missed, and overall the hosts taught me how to be a better reader of this series. I listened to the full backlog of episodes, listened to each chapter as I read it, and felt more immersed in the world than I was on my own. However, around the Lord of Chaos episodes, I started scaling back and only listened to episodes coverin... more

  • The BEST!

    My brother-in-law introduced me to TWW podcast when we both embarked on our own first-time journeys into the Wheel of Time series. I AM SO GLAD HE DID! Dani and Brett have been a key part of my reading experience and I truly couldn’t imagine the series without them. They do an AMAZING job of breaking down the chapters, refreshing on details I may have forgotten or didn’t clue into initially and keeping it super spoiler-free. All while bringing the fun facts and laughs along the way. Thank you so... more

    I love this show and think Dani and Bret are great to listen to. My only complaint I guess is I feel the Rand chapters are a little disappointing. To me these are some of the best and most impactful chapters in the series but it seems Dani doesn’t like his character (which is absolutely fine and I believe what the author wants you to feel for most of the series) so she half arses the discussion around them for the most part. Would just like them to discussed a little differently I guess. Sorry f... more

  • A great podcast

    Not only are Dani and Brett excellent at helping first-time readers through the books, they also put together a great product. The podcast is very polished, engaging, and an all-around good time. A great companion for my commuting travels.

  • Amazing companion to the books!

    Whenever I finish a chapter in my book I’m so excited to listen to Dani and Brett go over it! I’m currently on The Gathering Storm and have been listening ever since Eye of the World. This podcast is so great because it’s spoiler free past the chapter they are covering. So you can jump in wherever you’re at and follow along on the journey! This book series is dense and you will get so much more out of it if you listen to the Wheel Weaves alongside reading. Not only will you pick up on details y... more
