That’s great! I’m a huge Wheel of Time fan…used to play Sonne Sedai on Silklantern if any old Silkies are reading this
That reminds me, I need to make an Aes Sedai costume…
My wife and I have already registered and are counting down the days…36 for the record!
To Jennifer: just wanted to tell you the podcast was great! Thanks for all your hard work to make this happen.
