Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel Of Time Podcast

Ch. 14-15 continue the trend in EHR's twilight years: It's All Bad. We talk about Class Warfare in Caemlyn, the Least Dangerous Game (women), Inconvenient Bodies, and finally say goodbye to the Day That God Forgot. Transcript

Ah, the infamous eight-page bath. For ch. 12-13 we talk about Brandon Sanderson's Game of Thrones, Bad Genes/Jeans, Hers and Hers Bathtubs, More Sea Folk Racism, and Gender Moments with Robert Jordan. Transcript

In this short episode, we devote about eight minutes to ch. 10-11 (they're boring) and the other twenty to RJ's Plot Gymnastics, Gojo Trigger Warning, a Forgotten D.A.R.E. Song, and how Ed is a Time-Traveling Warlock.

Head's up: Chapter 9 deals with a lot of troubling content, including sexual assault, consent in captivity, and even racism, and that's pretty much all we talk about in this episode. Skip it as needed for your mental well-being. Transcript

Just brace yourself, because our discussion of ch. 7-8 is mostly (justified) complaining. We talk about Masuri Winchester, Nice Teacher Supremacy, how Naruto Did It Better, and how Grady and Neald Should Unionize.  

What else would we talk about for 30 minutes while covering ch. 5-6 than whether Aram is in love with Perrin? (Probably not.) Other topics include: Hospital Swag Bag, Literary Cage Match, and Roy Mustang: A Feminist??

This episode is about ten minutes of ch. 3-4 coverage and 30 minutes of tangents, including: Stupid Men Sexy, Tybalt's Barf Bag Fiasco, Naming Appliances, and How Not to Fall for Copaganda. Enjoy.

In ch. 1-2, we're on a downhill slope into RJ's pro-Seanchan agenda. More cheerful discussion topics include: Boyz in the Tentz, Valan Luca's Disguise Chest, Forgotten Subplots, Thom the Monarch Serial Killer, and Noal's Fishcapades.

While covering the rest of the prologue, how many times do you think we say "What's frustrating about Gawyn is ..."? (Hint: It's a lot.) We also discuss Gawyn's Sexual Mind Palace, Flat Earther Gawyn, JFK's Famous Saying About Cults, and Angst de Vivre.

We're back with book 10, babes! The first half of the prologue is all about Mat's Pilgrim Hat, Covert Art Cocaine, Ituralde Causing the Feminism to Leave Our Bodies, and Mazrim Taim's Very Special Classes for Very Special Boys.

For the final chapter of Winter's Fart, I mean Heart, we're talking about technicality vs. ambiguity in magic systems, Rand's Trauma Plateau, that Narishma Is a Gun, and Tybalt's Safety Cabinet.

These last few Far Madding chapters (32-34) are just as confusing as those that came before. Discussion points include: Lews Therin's Cockney Accent, Archetype Prison, Lan Being a Good Husband, Mail Fraud, and Narishma Being Threateningly Hot. Transcript

Episode 200 (ch. 30-31) is pretty standard EHR. We just talk about normal topics, like the Dawn of Branderson, Nerim and Lopin's Enemies to Lovers AU, Human Xanax, Narrative Punishment vs. Authorial Punishment, and Tracking Mat's Character Assassination.

What's worse than a can of worms? For ch. 28-29, we talk about King Arthur: Legend of the Sword Montages, a Trio of Rogues, how There Must Always Be a Ringmaster, Beslan Is the Only Character in a Musical, and Mat's Knife Days.

Here are the takeaways from ch. 26-27: Women Can Only Do Three Things. They Were Roommates. RJ is Scavenging Suspense. Elayne Is the Worst Secretary. Birgitte Loves Her Ugly Wife. Transcript

In ch. 24-25, we're still in Far Madding, City of Lost Opportunities. We talk about how Cadsuane is a Sleep Paralysis Demon, the Forsaken Staff Meetings, Rand's Mish Imposs, and the ultimate improvement on Wheely Time: Narishma Just Leaves. Transcript

Ch. 22-23 are the first part of Winter's Heart's most baffling sequence. We talk about Crooked Vaginas, Rand's Agatha Christie Murder Trail, Hot Topic Chic, and how the Far Madding plot failed to execute on any of its potential. Transcript

In our coverage of ch. 19-21, we talk about the Cons of Limited Omniscient Narrations, the Pioneer Woman's Crimes Against Humanity, whether evoking genocide imagery works in WoT, and we ask: Where Are All the Good Jolines? Transcript

For ch. 17-18 of Winter's Heart, we talk about 2 Horse 2 Furious, Humiliation and Gaslighting, New York Times Bestselling Author Jain Farstrider, and Hades Kidnapping Hades. There's a lot going on! Transcript

Thank God for Mat point of views! Sure, he's in Seanchan-occupied Ebou Dar, but we'll take what we can get. For ch. 15-16 of Winterception's Heart, we talk about Riddles and Hungry Tricksters, Valan Luca Being a Sitcom Dad, and Mat Being a Horse Girl.
