Everybody Hates Rand: A Wheel of Time Podcast

Mar 29, 2021

In chapters 41-42, Min spends a whole chapter acting like a 10th grader, Rand doesn't understand why The Farm sounds so ominous, and Mazrim Taim is humiliated when his mortal enemy puts some Girl Scout badges on him. Bonus topic: Deprogramming the Asha'man.

Chs. 38-40 teach us some valuable lessons about women's agency and some not-so-valuable lessons about how all women are liars and idiots. Thanks, RJ. Other talking points: Mat's Dump Was Charisma, Egg's Dozen, and Totally Benign Knife-Sharpening.

As the tax man cometh, so do ch. 36-37. We discuss the classist implications of the Perfect Servant Trope, Egwene's Zero-to-Sixty Leadership Competence versus Rand's Parabola of Competence to Insanity, and we ask once again: Why doesn't Elayne just GO to Andor?

So these ones are bad. Chapters 34-35 are just real stinkers. We'll talk about why -- hint: the rampant transphobia and misogyny -- but luckily we'll also talk about some Jesus Lore and cap the episode with every horse name we can remember. 

CW: discussions of transphobia, Aran'gar

There's a lot going on in ch. 31-33. We visit the Questioner Cathedral, explain why you Can't Drown a Mermaid, learn the Secret to the Female Orgasm (it's a car crash), sell Mat an On-Fire Iron Flute, and Explore the Inherent Eroticism of Gazing at One's Sword. You're welcome?
