BB052: Wheel of Time Season 2 News and Discussion

Welcome to an international fandom discussion where Matt is joined by Double P’s Bubba (@fittentrim on twitter), YouTube’s Priscila (Youtube.com/@PriscilaTV1), and Derek and John from TV Podcast Industries (@TVPodIndustries on twitter), to discuss the announcement of the premiere of Wheel of Time Season 2 on Amazon Prime (September 1, 2023), and new show stills released last week in an Entertainment Weekly article. There are some mild spoilers for non book readers, but nothing too terribly drastic (it won’t ruin your day). A “book reader only” cast will be coming soon, in addition to this podcast (that one non book readers WILL want to avoid).

If you want to give us your thoughts about the news feel free to email mattsaudioblog@gmail.com , or tweet to @BustBlockbuster. You can also contact Double P Media by finding them on twitter and instagram @DoublePHQ or joining their facebook at facebook.com/DoublePHQ.
