Episode 311: Noal in the Tower of Ghenjei with a Machine Gun
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
We couldn't end EHR without answering a few important questions, like: How did idiots like us stumble into podcasting success? What happens now? What happens to the website? And, of course, which Wheel of Time character should have a gun?

Episode 310: Mister Character Development
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
With no more chapters to summarize, it's just us and a Rainforest Cafe-themed novelty light-up cup, trying to decide whether and by what metrics Wheel of Time is a successful series.

Episode 309: Randorin
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
Alright, who put "body swap" on their bingo card? We read the epilogue and talk about who else should have (actually) died, the possible Heroes of the Horn Polycule, Better Amyrlins Than Cadsuane (Literally anyone), Rand Uchiha, and ... God??

Episode 308: The Germ Theory of Disease
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
We've reentered Flop City with ch. 45–49. This rushed sequence manages to both under-explain and over-explain itself, and would it really be a Wheel of Time climax if there wasn't misogyny? At least we have Gaul's SWAT team of wolves and Moridin getting his Darth Maul on.

Episode 307: Call Me Mishraile
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
Ch. 42–44 are packed with character development ... that has already happened! We talk about All the Dads Dying, Logain Inventing CPS, Horn of Valere Orientation, Asexual Artur Hawkwing, and Thom's, uh, Interesting Word Choice.

Episode 306: Lady Corpse-a-Lot
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
Ch. 38–41 are emotional and climactic but largely flopped for us. Why can't Rand stop ascending to godhood? Why does everyone want Lan to be Aragorn? Why is The Beautiful Shendla here? We have these and other questions.

Episode 305: We Could've Had Girl Nuke
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
R.I.P. to, uh, everyone? Not really, but close. We finish ch. 37 and talk about the Hurinspital, how Wheel of Time is trying to be Game of Thrones, the Barbenheimer sequel, a possible Lews Therin jumpscare, and how at least Demandred Has Hobbies.

Episode 304: Horse Crimes
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
R.I.P. to the best character in the series (Bela the horse). Unfortunately she died in service of the worst subplot in the series. We discuss Choice vs. Fate Philosophy, how Talmanes Is In a Saw Trap, Getting a Death Notice from a Wolf, and Playing Evil Catch with My Evil Son.

Episode 303: How Many Eight-Year-Olds Does It Take to Tie a Tourniquet?
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
Why are children on this battlefield? Inquiring minds want to know. We talk about Belinda, Brando Sando Power Activate, Berelain's Herspital, Demandred's Balefire Gun, Shendla's Snipe List, Upgrading to a Lesbian Warder, and Artur Hawkwing as a Mean Bisexual.

Episode 302: Demandred's Situationship
Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
Somehow Demandred has time to ... date? We're confused. As we dive deeper into chapter 37, we talk about Chad Galad's Autistic Rizz, Logain Believes in Logain, Canonical "It" Pronouns, Fantasy Slurs, and whether upping the stakes is effective anymore.
info_outlineCh. 28–30 are frustrating and repetitive. We talk about Lan's Lobotomy, Edgelord Moridin, Cringe Gateways, Logain's Dramatic Entrances, Mr. Gavroche, and how the Impotence Metaphor Has Gone Too Far.
