Tales from the Waystone: Recent Episodes
talesfromthewaystone
A Kingkiller Chronicle re-read podcast where we do a deep dive into the books of Patrick Rothfuss. We recommend starting with episode 1 as our episodes are quite sequential.
We're sorry, but due to a confluence of summer colds, work obligations, and a looming colonoscopy (seriously, if you're the age to get one, get one), we are unable to get you a quality podcast episode today and will have to skip our next regularly scheduled date as well
Our next episode should be available for your listening pleasure on August 18th 2026
Welcome to Tales from the Waystone; Summer Reading Program - Deadpool Onesie x The Princess Bride, where we will be going over the first thirty-seven pages of Simon Jimenez' The Spear Cuts Through Water.

Welcome to Tales from the Waystone; Summer Reading Program! We're changing things up and instead of jumping right into our next book, we're starting with a 'Session 0' for Simon Jimenez' The Spear Cuts Through Water.

- The Buffalo Hunter Hunter
It's been a year for Phoenix - between them having to have another surgery and mental health stuff for both of us, we weren't able to record the podcast episode we wanted to.
So, cozy recommendations it is.
They're recovering well, so we'll probably* do the next bit of Monk & Robot next time.
*for relative values of 'probably'

I've been feeling under the weather these past few weeks. So while I wish I'd had the ability to get the promised gigantic episode we planned completely edited, I must admit this episode that is very very full of theories and plot kicked my ash.
So please take this 'preview' of episode 69(nice.... I'm 12) as a token of our commitment to do our best instead of just producing subpar work.
Thank you so much for being a listener! We appreciate each and every one of you.

Will finally tested negative for Covid, but we couldn't record our normal podcast for you in time to get it to you on schedule so here's an 'oops, all interesting facts!' episode to tide you over for now.
Interesting Fact Links:
Phoenix' fact: Antarctica and Space Rocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NUUNo43b3A
Will's fact: Longest Living Things On Earth https://www.interestingfacts.com/longest-lived-species/ZFBg6jgK3gAHvM6w?
The title says it all. Will caught Covid on a work outing a few days before we were going to record our next episode and lost his voice. He's mostly fine, just a bit fatigued and needs more tlc. He's been through a course of anti-virals, and come out the other side with his tastebuds intact.
So far I (Phoenix) haven't caught it, and Sokka is also fine.
Anyway, here's a short 'bonus' pod of recommended things because it was all we had the energy to do.

We also turned the tables on our family and friends with some funny and cute interviews of the people who love us most! Along the way we still managed to get some interesting facts courtesy of Will's sister Anna, and an interview with Will's personal phronemos: his grandfather Jack.
Somewhere along the way, Will promised I'd share links to games I made at DigiPen and probably one or two other things I've forgotten about. Those will show up at Patreon.com/waystonepod for all the world to see.

Will: Hi friends, this is Will from Tales from the Waystone. This won’t be a normal episode because these are especially abnormal times. We are taking part in the podcast blackout this week, a movement started by the podcast Cult 45. As you are probably aware, we as a society are experiencing upheaval as a result of the ongoing brutality perpetrated by our police forces here in the U.S. Our regularly scheduled episodes should resume next week. As middle-class white people living in a blue state, we were taught that the police were here to protect citizens. It is becoming more and more obvious that the citizens our police force ‘protects’ are people that look like us - at least at first glance. The following is an incomplete list of black people who have been killed by police officers and hate crime in the past eight years alone:
Trayvon Martin, Age 17, died 2012.
Tamir Rice, Age 12, died 2014.
Michael Brown, Age 18, died 2014.
Eric Garner, died 2014.
Sandra Bland, Age 28, died 2015.
Freddie Gray, Age 25, died 2015.
Alton Sterling, Age 37, died 2016.
Philando Castile, Age 32, died 2016.
Botham Jean, Age 26, died 2018.
Atatiana Jefferson, Age 28, died 2019.
Ahmoud Arbery, Age 25, died 2020.
Doug Lewis, Age 39, died 2020.
Breonna Taylor, Age 26, died 2020.
George Floyd, Age 46, died 2020.
Phoenix: Will and I are painfully aware that we are among the most privileged in our society, due to nothing other than our skin color. Cards on the table, we’re not without our share of prejudices. We were conflicted on whether or not to participate in the podcast blackout. I admit that if the people lost to this brutality were identified specifically as members of the LGBTQIA+ community, we would have been much more willing to publicly stand up. However, silence in the face of acts of murder is tantamount to endorsement of it.
It shouldn’t have had to take seeing a photo of a little girl being doused with milk to help soothe her face and eyes after the police in Seattle pepper-sprayed her during a protest. SEATTLE of all places - where we tout our liberal values and celebrate social justice. A place where Will and I lived most of our lives and felt at home. It shouldn’t have had to come down to seeing a facebook post from a friend who is Latino saying that if you’re not sure how to help with your privilege that you just need to start somewhere.
It shouldn’t be because my best friend’s husband is black. It shouldn’t be because our brother in law is latino, or because one of our dearest friends is trans and latina.
We need to speak out because we care about the lives lost, and the people who are afraid to take a walk in their neighborhood without their daughter or their white floofy dog at their side.
We aren’t perfect, but we can be better.
Will: Our neighbors deserve better. To all of those out protesting and mourning, we send our love and solidarity. Black lives matter. Black hopes matter. Black dreams matter. Black futures matter.

Hello, and welcome to the second (and final) episode in a short series of bonus pods we recorded about Neil Gaiman's Fortunately, The Milk.You may be wondering why this isn't episode 9, and there's a good reason why it isn't: a little over a month ago, the hard drive containing all of our episode audio for 1-9 dropped approximately 8 inches onto a wooden floor and broke beyond a reasonably priced repair.
Our original recording of episode 9 is now stuck behind a very expensive paywall, and we had to re-record it. This means we also have to edit the new recording, which takes time. But we still wanted to give y'all something to listen to while we are catching back up.
We ran a twitter poll to see what our bonus episodes should be about, and Fortunately, The Milk won! It's a delightful book, and allows us to have a bit of a palette cleanser between the sad events of our last few episodes and the month and a half's worth of episodes that will cover Kvothe's time in Tarbean.
This is a two part series, and episode 9 will release next week on February 25th, 2020 (or the 22nd if you're signed up for early access at Patreon.com/waystonepod).

Welcome to Tales from the Waystone, Episode 8; The Art of Getting Lost, where we will be discussing chapters eighteen and nineteen of Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind through a lens of Self Care.
The audio for this episode was pretty quiet when we recorded because we both got really emotional. We amplified the sound, though it might still be a little low in some spots. We apologize if it sounds a little off.
In terms of discussion, this episode covers topics dealing with grief and loss.
It's one of the best (if not the best) episodes so far, and we hope you enjoy it.
Note: Our original audio for episode 9 was lost, so we'll be doing a two-part mini-series of shorter bonus pods on Neil Gaiman's Fortunately, The Milk over the next two weeks to make up for lost editing time. Episode 9 will release on February 25th, 2020.

Hello Everyone!
This tiny not-episode (in which we missed the opportunity to toast to one more year above the roses) released on New Year's Eve, 2019. Phoenix decided that they'd rather not spend the holidays editing audio, but rather catching up on their backlog of books and video games.
We hope you had a good year, and hope that your 2020 will be even better. While we don't have a full episode for you today, we'd love to geek out and hear your Kingkiller Chronicle theories and headcanon over on Twitter @waystonepod!
If you really can't get enough of us, there is a special bonus pod available for our patrons at patreon.com/waystonepod, where we discuss Patrick Rothfuss and Nate Taylor's delightful picture book'The Adventures of the Princess and Mr. Whiffle: The Thing Beneath the Bed'!
