Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel Of Time Podcast

Ch. 22–23 are all about Rand's feelings, because men's feelings are WAY more important than women's. We talk about how He Needs to Be Harder, Daddy; Egregious Deus Ex Machina, the Scientific Method, and give a Shoutout to Martha. 

Well, well, if it isn't the infamous "women are like goats" speech. For ch. 20–21, we'll talk about goat pride; the difference between tricksters, fools, and comic relief; and the world's weirdest to-do list.

For ch. 17–19, we talk about the Plot Twist of the Century, how Siuan Is an Army Wife, the Cult Besties, Gambit from X-Men's Appearance, Court Jester Mat, and the Pariah Parade.

There's an unbelievable amount of stupidity in ch. 15–16, and it's not just us mispronouncing Moridin's real name. We also talk about Balefire Life Hacks, Katerine's Evil Laugh, and Laras's Underground Railroad. Transcript

In our discussion of ch. 12–14, we talk about the (Nonexistent) Peer-Reviewed Forkroot Study, Seeing the Blueprint, Gawyn's Purity Ring, how Cadsuane Has the Nuclear Launch Codes, and Elaida Unshived.

For ch. 9–11, we talk about Grady's One-Punch Kill, Matching Form and Content, Enjoying the Mat Pedestal While We Still Can, Tylee's Motorola Razor, Ituralde's Character Assassination, and Brian?? Transcript  

Pedron Niall is left on read, obviously. For ch. 6–8, we ask: Why So Insular? and discuss Lanfear's Best Disguise, Two Short Kings, Beloved Point of View Characters, and the Introverted Route. Transcript

For ch. 3–5, we talk about Eating Tums Like Candy, White Man Names, this brand new thing (Character Arcs), the Final Evolution of Girlboss, Brandon Sanderson's Blorbo, and a potential Asha'man PR Campaign. Transcript

In chapters 1–2, we take a close look at the Brobert Janderson style and talk about Increased Mediation, the Perfect Wifey, Two Ways to Get a Doctorate, and how Women Be Crying. Transcript

Welcome to the dawn of Brando Sando! After reading this blissfully short prologue, we discuss Aviendha's Six Pounds of Mascara, Rand's Jeans, the Seanchan Political Spectrum, a Trolloc Reminder, and Zaddy Ituralde.

We finish our coverage of Knife of Dreams with discussion of '07 Throwbacks, how Gremlin Vibes Are Sexy, Fainting Goats, Embodied Empire, Red Flag City, and Narrative Delaying Tactics. On to the Era of Branderson! Transcript

In ch. 33–35, we take another stop on Robert Jordan's Gratification Ferris Wheel. We also talk about Torture Politics, how Sammael Was SUCH a Loser, Diplomatic Train Wrecks, and how the Seanchan are Absolutely Besieged.

There are lots of bad decisions in ch. 31–32, including, possibly, our choice to read them. We discuss Climax Squared, Worldbuilding Gymnastics, and Carrie Bradshaw Armor and ask: Is This Your Card? Transcript

We're finally at Malden, but the downward spiral continues. For ch. 28–30, we talk about a Loony Tunes Trap, Perrin's Mass Execution Plan, "Romantic" Persistence, a Marriage of Equals, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Fascist.

Ch. 26–27 are all over the place, but we managed to nerd out about crossbow cranks, then talk about Defamiliarization, Disney Villain Coding, Grady's Smoke Brake, and Semirhage's Peer-Reviewed Diagnosis.  

Ch. 24–25 bring us back to Egg, which means we're Deconstructing the Girlboss. We're also talking about WoT's Preservation of the Status Quo, a Haunted Bog Full of Perrin, Elaida's Laser Brain, and RJ's latest Hate Crime against Talmanes.  

Ch. 22–23 deal with some heavy topics! Be prepared for discussions of mass suicide. We'll also talk about RJ's overall project of an apocalyptic narrative and how, believe it or not, Supernatural did it better. 

This question and more will NOT be answered in our discussion of ch. 20-21. Instead, we'll talk about Nynaeve's Fey Trickery, Lan's "Mental Health" Regression, Demandred's Perfect World, and Cadsuane's Ineffective Parenting. Transcript  

In ch. 18–19, we talk about how Dragons are Cats and Griffins are Dogs, Improv Game of Thrones, Newton's Fourth Law, how Rand Is a Victim of Prophecy, Two Salts, and how Sally Saved Someone's Marriage. 

We're getting academic with ch. 15-17, talking about Point of View Exhaustion, Robert Jordan's repeated Violations of Game Mechanics, and how this whole thing is beginning to feel like Season 13 of Supernatural. Transcript
