Read the books? Seen the show? Now listen to the podcast! Join longtime fans Jade and Nate as they go beyond the veil and into the world of the Sword Of Truth, a series of twenty one epic fantasy novels written by Terry Goodkind!
For today's episode we spent 2 hours live with our patrons on Discord that perfectly encapsulates the chaotic joy of 300 episodes! Thank you again to everyone that helps support this show! We love you all so much!! Here's to another 300!!
Richard finally gives Du the time to say what she came all this way to say. Even though there's plenty she says he doesn't care for, one piece of information she has could let Richard get the jump on Jagang
No no! You've gotta understand...Richard's the one having a hard time here (he said in his best sarcastic accent) But seriously, he is a dick to Du, and follows that up by being angry she's upset. And just when you thought it couldn't get any more tense, that's when BOTH of Richard's wives go away from the group to have a litttle chat. And what do they talk about? Yeah - we'd love to know. Enjoy!
Richard and Kahlan separate themselves from the group so they can have a full on quiet fight that ends in Kahlan admitting she was wrong... wild... But knowing with absolute certainty that it is fully and 100% Kahlans fault they're in this mess, it doesn't help them get any closer to a solution... Ugh... Maybe it's time to go throw rocks at a mountain, know what I mean?
In this chapter of Soul Of The Fire we finally learn Wizard's 5th Rule. "Mind what people do, not only what they say, for their deeds will betray a lie." And we know this is a useful rule because up until this point in the story our MAIN CHARACTERS have barely said anything to each other. Oh they've been tallking, but have they been saying anything? Hmm... Well, Richard is ready to say something, and he's going to say it to Kahlan, and he's going to say it right n- in the next chapter....
That's right friends! We are also not the fathers of Du Chaillu's baby! But there is still plenty of drama to go around so get your favorite tea cup and let's dive in. We take a look back at Richard's relationship history and try to figure out if we can really wrap our heads around some magical law. And you guys can totally trust us because we want to be the very best, like no one ever was. To understand magical law is our true cause. We will think kind of hard, contemplating. How these laws don't make much sense, so we must digress. Richard Rahl! Please talk to your wife! It might save our destinies!
Hey, we all forget things sometimes. Anything from your earbuds for work, or your knife when you're heading out into the woods... Or maybe that one time you were forced to kill a bunch of dudes whilst channeling spirits from your magic sword, and then having to marry the wife of all the men you just slayed, under penalty of death. Right? It's the little things like that we all remember... Oh, and speaking about things we all remember? WE ALL REMEMBER DU CHAILLU!
In Chapter 25 of Soul of the Fire, we meet a new character in a somewhat familiar place. Roberta is out 'shroomin' up on some mountains and absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong. Nate has a bone to pick with Terry himself over some word choices, Jade recalls a time involving spooky whispers during the night, and Aaron is perfect and never does or says anything wrong ever! We are podcasters, on a mission, readers of books and discuss them, PODCAST ATT!
The streak is broken once again! Nate is back and Aaron makes a bold prophecy right in the intro! We dive a bit more into Dalt's world and what he does behind the scenes. We also meet one of Aaron's new favorite characters, Franca Gowenlock. We also discuss the dangers of getting caught in a web spun by someone like Dalt! Life seems like a hurricane over in Anderith. Hakens, Anders, big ol' feasts, it's an And-blur! Dalt spins his own web, don't get caught in it! Anderith, Woo-ooo!
It's time for Chapter 23 and even though he's feeling a little rough around the edges after last night's activities, Aaron and Jade discuss how the ball seems to be rolling uphill for Fitch. We are a bit worried that he isn't terrified since, ya know, he has no idea if everything he did actually worked or not, but hey, something to be said for optimism, right? Oh and speaking of optimism... Nate will be back for the next episode! But in the mean time, one is a genius, the other is insane. They're podcast... they're podcast ATT-T-T-T-T-T-T-T. NARF!
Welcome back friends! Our streak ended at two as Nate may or may not have had another timey wimey portal problem and ended up in Florida, so Jade and Aaron tackle Chapter 22 today. Join us as we realize we are slowly descending (ascending?) into a DnD-related podcast. We also continue to talk about the longest feast ever and why marketing is so important with regards to Richard's demands versus Jagang's honeyed words. So just sit back and relax, you'll laugh till you collapse. We're podcast ATT!
I'm just saying, it seems like a bad idea to start in the middle of something at the start of something, ya know? Oh, was that a confusing way to start a chapter summary? Well luckily we would never do something like that! The trio is back again to keep analyzing the sociopolitical atmosphere of this feast and also dip into our collective vast knowledge of animal biology and physiology and discuss swan wings! Hey, what a wonderful kind of day to discuss Chapter 21 of Soul of the Fire.
Hey everyone! Aaron's back to warmly welcome him back, Jade's immediately lies to his (and everyone else's) face! With the trio reunited, let's dive into Claudine's questionable cover story and why it's a little problematic to call all criticism "unsavory". Nate tempts fate as he talks about secret organizations and just so everyone is clear, it was Nate and only Nate that was doing the talking! We also do our best to roleplay as sociopolitical analysts and try to figure out what everyone's true intentions really are. Let's step inside, it's a wild ride!
Happy St. Patty's Day! Once again it's the OG crew as Aaron is off fighting super villans from taking over a children's hospital orphanage with only his bare hands. His last text to us was, "I know anybody would do the same in my shoes. I'm just a regular guy doing regular things. Brb, I need to kick this guy with my fist. Hiyaah!" and yes, he did type out 'hiyaah'. Meanwhile, Nate shows off his dance moves on what is very well established as an audio medium.
New character alert! Join the OG crew as they learn about Nora and, to quote one of the OG's himself, her terrible, horrible, no good, very bad night. We also discuss why you should let sleeping things continue to sleep as well as why Nora and Nate's ideal nights are total opposites. Folks, it's a rough one, so crack a beverage of your choice and let's dive into Chapter 18.
Hey friends! Join Jade and Nate as things start off a little spicy, things are taken, and we learn all about Dalt and Tess and their entire world. This one's a doozy so let's just get right into it!
HAS ANYBODY BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE CHICKENS?! AARON'S GONE AGAIN! Well I suppose until he joins us again, Jade and Nate do dive into some chicken talk and make some ABSOLUTELY WILD SPECULATIONS THAT AARON MAY NOT APPRECIATE WHEN HE FINALLY GETS AROUND TO LISTENING TO THIS! We also discuss how nice it is to just be recognized sometimes as a real person with a whole-ass life going on! AND SOMEBODY KEEP AN EYE ON THE CHICKENS!
Welcome back friends! Isn't it fun to be back with people you enjoy spending time with? Well, we can't quite do that yet as we are still with Fitch and Friends. Join us as we help Aaron figure out why he can't seem to indentify that one friend that everyone has and why sometimes it's good to pre-think an excuse before you get into a situation.
Grab a plate of tava bread and honey and find out what was actually going on with Zedd and Ann while they were "on their death beds". Or I suppose you could just do like Nissel and cuddle up for a while... Either way, join us for Chapter 14 of Soul Of The Fire!
It's chapter 13 and we are spending some more time with Fitch. I'm sure we'll be back with our favorite peeps soon, but for now, let's get into the meat of this chapter. We get more lore on the Hakan's and how they are just the worst and the Ander's are really just the best. Aaron's shows off just how little talent he really has when it comes to accents during the beer break to everyone's dismay. And Jade gives us some great insight into Fitch's mind during his conversation with Beata. Some more stuff happens too but you'll just have to listen to find out!
It's that time friends and we are so excited to get back into Richard and Kahlan's adventure! What's that? Nate's wearing an eye patch and Richard and Kahlan are no where to be seen (especially by Nate). Well that kinda sucks but since we are here, let's learn about the Ander and Hakan people through the eyes of Fitch and some of his "friends" in this episode of the Sword of Truth Podcast!
Friends, it's Chapter 11 and it seems like we are kinda, sorta just about done with the chicken stuff. Can I be honest though? Now that the chicken-that-is-not-a-chicken is gone, I kinda miss it. But we don't have time for that because Zedd and Ann are sick, and we are still a little sus about all of last night's events. Nate shows off a new talent. That's right, Nate "shows off" a new talent on this audio medium. We also talk about how important it is to just say the dang thing and not talk about saying the dang thing, so go listen to us say the dang things! Now! Please?
MONDAY! MONDAY! MONDAY! For tonight's main event, in one corner, she's terrified because she just realized her husband was actually correct. She's the Mother Confessor. Wife to the Lord Rahl. Queen of Kelton. And Sister of the Agiel. It's KAHLAN AMNELL! And in the other corner, you take one look at that thing and we all know it's probably just straight up evil incarnate. Eater of grubs. Defecator onto Juni's. It's THE CHICKEN THAT IS NOT A CHICKEN! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and everything in between, LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUMMMMBBBBLLLLLLEEEEEEE!
Hello? Is it me you're looking for? Oh, I should have guessed you were looking for a chicken and not me. Sorry to bother you. Anyway, in this episode about Chapter 9, Aaron checks in with his possible privilege as we discuss Kahlan's current marriage situation. We also draw upon the very obvious parallels between the Sword of Truth cast and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Lastly, we have a very important question for you all in the outro so at the very least, make sure to fast forward to that and help us out. I mean, wait, listen to the whole thing! I'm not good at marketing... We do sing though so... there's that!
2024 has come to a close and it had us feeling a little reminiscent. This episode is a highlight reel or a "best of" if you will, of everything we released in the last year. We pulled our favorite moments from both the Wandcast and the Sword of Truth podcast and compiled them here into a montage of madness that you all will hopefully enjoy. We are so greatful to all of you that joined us this past year and we can't wait to see what 2025 might bring.
Who's going on a chicken hunt for Chapter 8 of Soul of the Fire? The Mud People! AND THEY BETTER BE RESPECTFUL WHILE THEY'RE DOING IT OR ELSE RICHARD WITH THE TEMPER WILL HAVE A TEMPER! Now that all the work is done, join us as we discuss Aaron's history with chickens (but not anything about being "kidnapped" by them and held for ransom! That was totally something taken out of context and anything that occured was just some friends hanging out. And no, I'm not being made to write this, why do you ask?). We eaves drop in on Ann casually dropping some lore to Kahlan. We even talk a little bit about AI! We really do talk about All The Things!
Hey all you cool cats and kittens! On this episode, we discuss CHAPTER 7 of Soul of the Fire and I know most of you who are re-reading and not reading this for the first time, are probably not surprised about the fact that we are still dealing with some sort of chicken that may or may not be from a really-bad-but-also-still-kinda-scary horror movie. We also learn a little bit more about the Mud People's rituals and cultures. And we finally get on record Nate's honest and unedited opinions on babies. Join us this time on THE SWORD OF TRUTH PODCAST!
Aaron's back! Turns out I was okay! You guys have no idea how glad I am (am... or... was? how does time work?) that I was okay. Now that everything is back to being perfect, join us as we dicuss Richard not willing to to talk about anything other than the Chimes or the Chicken. Wait... did any of you guys realize that both of those words start with the same 3 letters!?!?!?!?! Where is my red string...
WHERE IS AARON?! DID THE CHICKEN KIDNAP AARON?! WHY ISN'T ANYONE ASKING HOW I'M DOING?! Wait... how am I writing this if I was potentially captured and am currently being held hostage by a weird-ass chicken that is not a chicken? Is this real life? I guess while NO ONE ASKS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME... Jade and Nate converse about Richard and Zedd's magical back and forth, the timing of DOB, the dangers of just firing one off (their words, not mine!), where the ACTUAL PROPHET Nathan might be, and the one secret that will help towards a healthy relationship! Spoiler alert, it's communication.
Hey friends! In this episode, we discuss whether or not we agree that this is just a normal, run of the mill case of evil spirits being evil. Richard definitely seems to think something much more fishy, or maybe chickeny, is going on. But in all seriousness, can we talk about the glaring issue here? Where is Aaron?! I suppose it's possible he just couldn't make it to this recording, but maybe the chickens did something!?!?!
You ever sit in a bath with your smoking hot spouse, and find you just can't stop thinking about food, specifically chicken wings? Anyone? Just me? Oh, well I suppose I digress. Once again Kahlan's hope of just nothing but sexy time with her man is hindered by a chicken. It seems like there is a term I could use here... Regardless, it seems Kahlan may never get her wish as our heroes are quickly interrupted and trouble is a(chicken)foot.
Don't worry everyone! It's just a dead chicken! Definitely problem solved. Door closed. End of the line. We will never even think about, much less say, the "c" word ever again! What's that? This is "just the beginning" and "we aren't even close to being done with chicken stuff?" Good lord.
Ok, NOW we are actually getting into it! It's so nice to finally be back with Richard and Kahlan, and just after their wedding. You know what? Let just go ahead and skip this whole description thing and get back to all of our friends!
We're back! Richard and Kahlan and Zedd and Cara and Chan and a whole bunch more of our friends are back too but before we fully get into it. Join us as we take a look at that beautiful and some teaser info as we ease our way into the next book in the Sword of Truth series, Soul of the Fire!
