Around the campfire, stories come alive. In this podcast, two friends take you chapter by chapter through great books, mixing deep discussion with a little humor and a lot of warmth. We’re starting with The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss — a tale of music, magic, and myth that’s perfect for a fireside conversation. Whether you’re reading along or just love a good story told by the firelight, there’s always room by the fire.
Tonight we are going over Chapter 88: Interlude - Looking
If you thought the action was done for the rest of the book, you were mistaken. My god does a lot happen in this chapter, and probably right as most people were starting to wind down. We get Cobb telling some half baked stories, which would probably taste like lies and those cookies that have virtually no flavor and turn to dust in your mouth when you bite into them, yuck. We learn that something is wrong with Kvothe, other than the obvious, and we also get some potential hints at what is to come in bok2.
Oh, and a Skin dancer shows up and does a shockingly little amount of dancing, given its name.

Episode 52: Chapters 85, 86, & 87
Tonight we are going over Chapter 85: Hands Against Me, Chapter 86: The Fire Itself, and Chapter 87: Boldness
We are getting so close to the end of the book, and it feels like there is still so much to discover and talk about. Kvothe gets expelled, we get more wonderful interactions with Elodin, and Kvothe asks to see Auri's Underthing. That does sound rather inappropriate I guess, maybe it sounds better coming from her.

Episode 51: Return & A Sudden Storm
Tonight we are going over Chapter 83: Return, and Chapter 84: A Sudden Storm
83 is a very short chapter, nothing of any real note, but 84 is where the meat and potatoes are (mmm potatoes). Kvothe shows Ambrose the intersection of finding out and f-ing around. Elodin saves the day, and we get another terribly heart breaking scene, all within about 10 minutes of in book time. I really hope the theory about the king kvothe eventually kills being Ambrose is true because oh boy does he boil my blood. I think that's the point, but you get what I'm saying.
