Kvothe meets Willem who denies him access to the Archives. We talk about the way Willem's second language is expressed, the way Rothfuss casts his multicultural characters, and worldbuilding through context clues.

As a little gift to our listeners we're dropping this once patron-exclusive episode onto the main feed. Thanks for sticking by us for five hundred-odd episodes! If you can't get enough of us, there's an extra-long monster episode like this one every month at patreon.com/pageofthewind plus some other goodies!

The Trio reviews and discusses Rick and Morty D&D comic issue #1 by Pat Rothfuss.

Does Rothfuss still have "it" when he's not writing for a world he conceived? Does a toxic fandom reflect negatively on the very thing you're a fan of? Is this a responsible comic? We talk about this and more!

Patreon Peek: Rick & Morty/Dungeons & Dragons

Bast putters around. We talk about secrets, compare Bast to a cat, and promote the secret ultra-lewd episode feed. Note: we call this Page 2 in the episode, but Page 2 is blank, so really this is Page 3! We discuss this further tomorrow...
