The Other Wind by Ursula Le Guin, Part One : Chapters 1-3
The Queens embark on the beginning of the end by reading the first three chapters of our final book in the series, The Other Wind (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Other_Wind) by Ursula Le Guin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin). Theories and threats to riot are made, the Queens wonder at the round-about terms for women who love each other, and call for Tenar to be shown the respect she deserves.
For the game this episode, the Queens are sending out Postcards from Earthsea, and as always close out the show with their most and least favourite characters.
The next episode of this podcast will cover the final two chapters in The Other Wind (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Other_Wind) by Ursula Le Guin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin).

Tales from Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin, Part Two: Tales 4-5
We continue our journey into short stories around Earthsea by finishing book five, Tales from Earthsea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Earthsea). Expect an unexpected (and rather passionate) rant from Queen Tay on the danger of bovine companions. And, not to be outperformed, Queen Marissa monologues about a rose, Shakespeare, and symbolism. We're traveling the sky and sea in this one, so come prepared for home safety tips, discussions of bad boys, and of course, a look at your next bit of homework. Or, in other words, join us as we wrap up the second last book in the Earthsea Series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthsea), Tales from Earthsea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Earthsea) by Ursula Le Guin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin).
In the last bit of the podcast, we review the book and then play a game: DND Classes! Finally, we end off with our fave and least fave characters.
The next episode of this podcast will be out on November 1, 2025 and will cover the first three chapters of the final instalment in the series, The Other Wind (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Other_Wind) by Ursula Le Guin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin).

Tales from Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin, Part One : Chapters 1-3
The Queens get a look around other times and places of Earthsea with book five, Tales from Earthsea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Earthsea), a collection of short stories. We get to see the creation of the school on Roke, a conversation about mercury that no one asked for, teenaged love, and an old friend while he was young and hot. Queen Marissa gets excited by a romance, Queen Tay gets upset over dirty feet, and both Queens stumble over names, because who knows how to pronounce anything? Join us for some laughs on our field trip through Tales from Earthsea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Earthsea) by Ursula Le Guin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin).
The Queens get a little wild with a game of Smash or Pass, then top off the episode with their favourite and least favourite characters from this section.
The next episode of this podcast will cover the final two stories in Tales from Earthsea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Earthsea) by Ursula Le Guin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin).
