Reviews:

I’m going through all spoiler free WoT podcast and this one is probably my favourite. Great knowledge and insight. Keep it up! – Ogxxhiyffvh

My husband shared this podcast with me, as I’m reading through these books for the first time as well. I like the premise and I love the podcast so far! Brett and Dani are funny and relatable, making this easy to listen to. – KHoneyford

I’ve always meant to get into the WoT books, but this might be what pushes me over that edge. Dani and Brett have great chemistry, solid jokes and very quick wit. Having the descriptiveness in each episode really helps motivate me to actually take a crack at this read-through. Highly recommend – Cheeseybite123

Listening to the combo of Dani’s beginner predictions and Brett’s expertise this is an extremely entertaining way to listen through the chapters of Wheel of Time! It makes me want to re-start the series again, to go through the story alongside the podcast! Excited to keep listening and laughing along with you Dani and Brett!! – Being Karmic

Status: Complete
Number of  WoT Episodes: 30. Two per book plus a Q&A and Wrap up Episode

Intro: Since early 2014, The Legendarium Podcast has been tackling classic (and new classic) fantasy literature. Its Wheel of Time series features Craig, Ryan, Kyle, and Kenn, who span the continuum from seasoned expert to first-time reader. The focus is on themes, characters, and applicability; they’re not smart enough to do minutiae. Listen if this is your first foray into Randland, or if you want to relive your first time through someone else’s eyes.

This is the single greatest podcast in the history of the known space universe cosmosphere. If you do not listen to this podcast then you should be sent to the Hell of the Upside Down Sinners!! I will definitely look into Patreon support. Been a fan of this series since 1995 and I'm always looking for discussion about the books although I rarely ever take part. Keep up the good work. -Mr Carstairs
This is my second read-through the series, and I have to say that I really enjoy listening to the podcast! There are a lot of things that you've brought up that I haven't really thought about and it's so interesting hearing what other people think about what I consider to be my favourite fantasy series, if not my favourite series of all time. -Samithi
I am reading through this series for the 1st time and listening to you guys discuss them is super helpful. So i just wanted to say thanks and keep it up! -Brennon

Reviews:

Still in ep 1, but I like what I’ve heard so far! You guys clearly know and love the series, and the audio is great quality! (that last point has kept me from continuing with other #wot podcasts in the past…) - Mat

I bloody love these two. Jenn and Jess are hilarious. The best part of #WoTWednesday by ten leagues! :wink: SUBSCRIBE AND MAKE YOUR COWORKERS MADDER THAN AN ASHAMAN WITHOUT HIS SPECIAL WINE! - Rob

This is a great podcast especially for readers just coming to the series or people looking forward to the show. Just getting started there isn’t a huge backlog of episodes to slog through and sensitive about spoilers but not to the point of avoiding them. I look forward to listening every week. They are irreverent, slightly vulgar and not afraid to crap on the author when he/they deserve it. A breath of fresh air in an often overwhelmingly complex and rich community filled with fan girls/boys and head-canon. - Aaron

It has been crazy amazing to have found this podcast. I discovered the world of the Wheel of Time over 18 years ago. Robert Jordan made me fall in love with reading. It has been very enjoyable to listen to your guys’ synopses and you have me completely rethink the ideas presented in the series that I have never contemplated before. And I’ve reread this series at least 5 times! I can’t get enough. Keep it up! - TenaciousP

As a first time listener to podcasts in general the white tower pod cast has been fun and engaging. The character analysis is in depth and enlightening the only drawback. The only issue I've had is silly on my part Rand and the others are 20 not 18 - Neal

Reviews:
Finished WOT last night, and this kind of in depth discussion is exactly what I was hoping to find. - Winfield Johnny
I was so ecstatic to find this. Can't wait to see the series discussed chapter by chapter. And how all of this relate. I have been reading this series since I found it years ago. Loved the first podcast and how there is such a rich history. This is perfect for long time readers wanting more info on this universe. Thank you and please don't stop! -Ritacba
I started these books back in the early 90's, so they have been part of my life for such a long time. The books and the characters are like old friends to me. I love listening to the podcast. These guys are so detailed and dedicated to the story, sometimes serious, sometimes amusing. It's nice to know that I have people on the other side of the world that love WOT like I do (probably more)! Well done! -rnrodgers

Reviews:
Y'all are dope! Thanks for making work suck less. -Skylar
Don't ever change your style. Four episodes in and I'm hooked. I know you're aiming for new mics, but I found the sounds of someone getting up to open a fridge without editing hilarious. -Lou

Intro: We're reading the Wheel of Time series of fantasy novels by Robert Jordan! We read them when we were younger, but now we are wiser. Why? Because they're so much fun! Adventure, magic, battles, politics, treachery, horses, braid-pulling... these books are top flight entertainment. They're also, as the kids say these days, "problematic". We'll dig into it as we go. We read about 5 chapters every episode, and we recap the events of the story, so you don't have to read along unless you want to. Join us!
