Story Jamming on Book IV of the Wheel of Time cast this week with a drop in the chase. Some more development. What's Rand doing? What is this guy ever doing? The Shadow looms....well, sort of. More taverns, more intricacy, Dark Friends lurk, and as always, the Wheel turns. We hope you've enjoyed the introductory four books to the Wheel. At this point, we're about a third of the way through Robert Jordan's Wheel and let's see where his pace goes from here.

SJT drops a vintage cast here of Book II of the Wheel of Time Series. Aptly named The Great Hunt, Jordan gives us some more development of female characters and introduces some new cultures. Story develops more here on a passive level on the whole, but the action persists. Rand's character starts to give the reader a bit of how he will likely be throughout the series. Oh - and the favorite bits! Listen in as L and J drop the giggles when discussing their favorite bits. Leave comments on yours. Thank you always for stopping by to Jam. 1.

Welcome to a revisit to the first story review Jer and I ever did. It's 2014 and we decide to jump deep into story with this epic adventure. Robert Jordan at his finest. The first book of the Wheel of Time is where it all kicks off. Jer and I give first impressions and what we're enjoying about this intro into the series. It's the shortest of the casts by far. We hope you enjoy the ride as much as we did.

**Intro/outro music here is unchanged from it's original form in 2014. All future casts related to the Wheel of Time series (those recorded at that time) remain with this same music.

Back in 2014 Jer called me up and said he was going to read the Wheel of Time. If anyone EVER asks you to read the Wheel of Time, you say yes! We brainstormed a bit, Jammed on Story, and came up with an idea to read the books and do a podcast. One thing led to another, and a decade or so later, Story Jam Radio entered the ring. We present to you every Wheel of Time podcast we've done (13 in all) for you here on Story Jam Radio. As of this posting, they will be released (at the very least) once every fortnight.

Our personal thanks to Robert Jordan - R.I.P.

The stories continue today as Jer rolls solo with a comparison between McCarthy's Blood Meridan (check out EP 2) and The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin. Two types of alternatives in imaginative worlds and how both pens look at humanity. A sweet drop on the SJR channel and a deeper look at how to ingest story. Comment below if you've read either or both. LeGuin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin McCarthy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cormac_McCarthy

Arguably McCarthy's opus, Blood Meridian stomps upon the highest peaks of writing and storytelling. The western that pistol whips all other westerns. The hosts run the full lap here talking about the author, the novel, the writing, and why this tale has such soul-moving power. Sit back, enjoy the ride.

Welcome back Story Jammers! In this post, Jer and LP chat about one of the tightest sci-fi novels of our time - Solaris. The wows, the ups and others. Why is this an incredible Sci-Fi tale? What did it do to the genre and what does it tell us about the art of the story? In this post we also chat a bit about another of our favorites - A Canticle for Leibowitz. Shaking my head as I write this review...in a good way. Short, strong language, prescient, and foreboding. Way before its time.

We talk a bit about books, how we pick them.

*Audio might sound a bit up and down. Give us your thoughts. Join in the conversation.
