The Black Tower Podcast: A Wheel of Time Podcast

The Dragon Reborn saved the world... but he also made some spectacularly bad decisions. This week, Andrew and Josh take a look at Rand al'Thor's biggest mistakes throughout The Wheel of Time. From trusting the wrong people to choices that nearly shattered his alliances—and maybe even the Pattern itself—we're ranking and debating the decisions that cost Rand the most. Which choice was his worst? Was he wrong, or did the Dragon Reborn simply do what had to be done? Join us as we break down the Dragon's greatest errors and decide which mistake nearly changed the fate of the world. #WheelOfTime #RandAlThor #DragonReborn #BlackTowerPodcast #WoTPodcast 📚 Follow the Black Tower Podcast for more Wheel of Time deep dives! https://linktr.ee/blacktowerpodcast🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more: https://blacktowerpod.podbean.com📺 Subscribe for weekly WoT content: @blacktowerpod Get 10% off of Dubby Energy by using code BTP or this link: https://www.dubby.gg/discount/BTP New Creations by Jen: https://www.newcreationsbyjen.com Intro Music - Black Tower Podcast by Slylock https://soundcloud.com/theslylock Outro Music - The Black Tower by Androl-Bard of Time https://www.youtube.com/c/AndrolBardoftime

Was Alanna’s bonding of Rand a cruel violation… or a necessary thread woven by the Pattern itself?

From ta’veren destiny and free will to Rand’s psychological decline and the Pattern’s possible intentions, we unravel the threads behind one of the series’ most uncomfortable—and important—relationships.

Some The Wheel of Time characters had incredible setups… and painful payoffs. This week, Andrew, Josh, and Reese break down the biggest character assassinations in Wheel of Time — from wasted potential and repetitive arcs to characters the story may have completely done dirty.
