Megan returns! This episode is dedicated to her brother Matt for this Mat chapter, because sibling love. Seattle Anne… ahem, sorry, let me check my notes…. Setalle Anan appears for the first time. We think that MalkierTalks on Youtube needs to tackle a recipe for “potted larks.” Elayne is basically Alexis Rose from Schitt’s Creek.

Part 1: Aradia and Morgan sympathize with the anxiety of Perrin meeting his in-laws, and Seth joins in to discuss relationships with age gaps. We also imagine Fourth Age nations and their potential. Faile doesn’t want to be Queen of Saldaea. Part 2: Morgan and Seth wrapping up the chapter the next day. Demira has an encounter with far-reaching consequences, and even Verin can occasionally be surprised by circumstances. Part 3: The three podcasters discuss the podcasting process in the aftershow, and let you know how the WOTS Patreon has been updated.

Discord Dad joins us! Aradia is offended by the excellent design of octopus eyeballs; a mantis shrimp would be an excellent superhero. We debate the uses of the warder bond in the Last Battle, consider Julin’s toh, and snicker at how much Mat trusts himself.

New Patreon names get read at the top of the episode, and then we are joined by Anna of the Grey Ajah of our Discord (and artist who created the Fox and Raven logo) to discuss if Min is a horse-girl in addition to the inventor of high heels. We also cover other important topics like the methods of the Grey Ajah, consent violations, HOAs, and makeup techniques. Verin sips tea.

Charlyn of the podcast Unramblings joins us to discuss Min and Rand. We agree that Min is a weapon hidden inside a sexy lamp. There are many kinds of love, but it is rare that putting a relationship on a pedestal is a good idea. Sulin wears an odd costume, and we are pretty sure that we find Steve.

Mat makes a fool of himself in Salidar as Seth juggles on camera for the WoT-A-Holiday Podcastathon, hosted by Malkier Talks as a charity livestream for the Lightweaver Foundation. Aradia reprises her favorite line from Verin and babytalks at Timber aka the Nae’blis of the podcast.   Watch our portion of the stream on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/BuXf2uAftaw?t=14426  Visit the Malkier Talks Youtube channel with the rest of the livestream and other videos here: www.youtube.com/channel/  Check out the total amount of money raised here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/wotaholiday  The Lightweaver Foundation is a charity set up by Brandon & Emily Sanderson which aims to provide basic needs such as food, water, clothing & shelter to those in need.

They work with established non-profits to fulfill those needs both in the local community and in the wider world.
