“I listen to this podcast because it’s free and I love WOT. If you like bad tv shows you’ll love this pod and if you hate J. K. Rowling, you’ll probably love it too. Ali is very opinionated and very sure of her opinions, honestly this amuses me most of the time especially when relates to black...”Read full review »

“Thank you so much for everything you do. Your breakdowns of the books and discussions are so enjoyable, but once you started covering the Amazon show I was truly hooked. Your insight and deep dive into the show just blew me away and changed my mind about a lot of episodes; especially the season 1...”Read full review »

“I’m a huge WoT fan who took too long to fully get into this podcast but now I’m obsessed. The dynamic between Ali and Gus is just too good. I first listened to the TV show episodes and was totally impressed but decided not to go right back and start the book episodes because I mistakenly thought...”Read full review »

“No better way to reread WOT than to listen along with Gus and Alli. These two are hilarious and engaging. Gus is great about avoiding any spoilers while Alli is original with her names and speculations. A MUST listen!”

“This is truly one of The Great Wheel of Time Podcasts. It’s great for someone who’ve read the series before - it’s always great to experience how new readers experience the series. But this couple proves to be really funny together. Noting the subtle innuendos from Gus (who’s read it before) as...”Read full review »

“As I expect is the case for several others I’m here solely to review the content related to the Wheel of Time TV series, which is what brought me to this podcast.

“I began listening to this podcast prior to season 1 of the Amazon show though I have read all the books two times now. I want to give it five stars because the show can be truly excellent when it is humming along and focused on the in world characters and plots. Shows covering the first few books...”Read full review »

“I’m not sure if I like the story of the Wheel of Time better or Ali’s version of the story of the Wheel of Time. Makes me laugh every time we get a chop, chop, chop, stab, stab, stab.
Great job on the podcast, I really enjoy it.”

“Robert Jordan wrote a titanic 14 books, spanning more than 4 million words and 3000 named characters.
