WoT Spoilers

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.

SuperSkyLake from Discord watches with us as Rand makes his last visit to the Black Tower. LTT believes in Taimandred, Rand believes he is Superman, and we think Superman is an Asha'man.

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 and Thom discuss a cautionary tale about a bootmaker, while Elayne and Aviendha reunite and compare notes on relationships.

Mat offers many possibilities to Egwene, and also surprises. They patronize each other like siblings, while Nyneave resorts to violence to make her point. Elayne focuses on the bigger picture. Sheriam gets easily misled. Aradia and Seth debate how the mental trick of ignoring temperature extremes works in the books, and in real life.

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 also believe that feeding the mind increases individual well being and is beneficial to society as a whole and therefore, they promote literacy and make books available to those who lack them. They work with established non-profits to fulfill those needs both in the local community and in the wider world.

@enarra returns to discuss how Nyneave and Elayne confess (some of) their secrets to Egwene, who in return tells them (some of) the ways in which she is going to change the world. Romanda and Lelaine are so similar, they might as well be one person, who clearly needs to be named “Romaine.” Join the conversation on Discord: https://discord.gg/YtWvCnS  Contribute on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wotspoilers  Email us: wotspoilers@gmail.com   Twitter: @wotspoilers   Instagram: @wot_spoilers   Facebook: @WOTSpoilers

Aradia allows Seth back onto the podcast to discuss a new day in Salidar. Egwene wakes up to complete her transition to Amyrlin, much to Elayne and Nyneave’s relief.

Aradia executes a coup with new guest Megan for discussion of this chapter, in which Egwene meets the Salidar Six plus Suian, and goes through a profoundly important ritual that just happens to include (what some might consider) an excessive focus on Aes Sedai being topless.

Egwene casually experiments with lost Talents, and rushes towards her next identity. Our guest this time is Enarra, who can be found on Twitter and Instagram as @enarra.
