Wheel of Time Spoilers 295 - LOC - Ch 11 - Lessons and Teachers

Seth and Aradia watch as Verin and Alanna deal with the fallout of Alanna’s impulsive non-consensual bonding, and contemplate if the tradeoffs that she forced on Rand justify her actions. We get a rare and information-rich Verin POV, including a rare instance of Verin being wrong about something!  Aradia grumbles about the trope of people fainting from fear, and Seth gets schooled by a Discordian on the actual effects of wearing corsets. The mechanics of ta’veren sperm are discussed at length, and we decide that the word “ward” is used far too freely in this series.   Rand visits the farm that will one day become the Black Tower, and observes the first classes being held with some of the most important future asha’man of the series. We admire Taim’s long-term plans getting underway, and give thanks that Logain also has a long story to tell.  WoTSpoilers is a twice weekly book-club.  You can join the conversations that make the podcast on Discord.  Remember, Seth is still a “nerd in a basement” who would rather be creating content full time than working a 9-5. You can help us create the content you love and become full time podcast creators by donating on Patreon  Email: [email protected]   Twitter:  https://twitter.com/wotspoilers   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wot_spoilers/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WOTSpoilers/ Support us on Patreon for ad-free episodes: patreon.com/wotspoilers Social media & affiliate links can be found on our LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/wotspoilers Check out other Fox And Raven Media podcastsAutistic Stuff for Autistic People: https://www.spreaker.com/show/asap Podcast It, Donut! https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-it-donut  Used2Sew: https://www.used2sew.com Podcast artwork: Leah DavisEpisode artwork: Pants from DiscordTheme music: Thread of Clouds - Blue Dot Sessions A Fox And Raven Media production https://www.foxandravenmedia.com
