We're rereading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series of fantasy novels! Why? Because they're so much fun! We recap the events of the story as we go, so you don't have to read along unless you want to. These books are pretty great already, but what we add is a lot of jokes of varying hilarity, and a little insight. We have a great time recording these and we hope you'll have a great time listening.
