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??
info_outline Episode 308: The Germ Theory of DiseaseEverybody 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.
info_outline Episode 307: Call Me MishraileEverybody 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.
info_outline Episode 306: Lady Corpse-a-LotEverybody 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.
info_outline Episode 305: We Could've Had Girl NukeEverybody 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.
info_outline Episode 304: Horse CrimesEverybody 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.
info_outline 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.
info_outline Episode 302: Demandred's SituationshipEverybody 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_outline Episode 301: Rhuarc Has Been DILF-CertifiedEverybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
He's also been Taken (TM) by Graendal, so that's bad, but it's nice to know he's hot. Also in this episode: Girl Don't Touch Your Face, Siuan Is Retiring Tomorrow, Uno the Chaperone, X-Men Talents, and Pevara's Stanley Cup.
info_outline Episode 300: Q&A Round-upEverybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast
We're taking a break from the Last Battle to look back — and forward — using your fine, prime vintage questions in this extra-special, extra-long episode. Also, we decide who we'd f***, marry, and kill between Ishamael, Moghedien, and Asmodean (answers may surprise you).
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.
