Episode 47 Full. Wheel of Time Series, Hands Tied? Also Book one Ch 5-16

**Spoilers** Both the Series and the book through the listed chapters.
Here we are again. At the beginning of this podcast series, we voiced our concerns about wokeness ruining our favorite books. It did. But here we re-evaluate some things. In previous episodes we busted the balls of the show-runner. Linked below however, we have a lovely article with Hollywood insider whistleblowers on the current environment. So for the first part of this episode we put ourselves in the place of a showrunner that may have had little choice in a lot of the changes.
The second half is a continuing with the book read through discussion. We start back up in chapter 5. There are some hiccups because both of our schedules were erratic but we wanted to get our thoughts fully out. We had to take some breaks for work and family stuff but we got it together. Hopefully we're taking this in some places most readers might not go on their own. For example, the biology behind the trauma these kids faced during Winternight and how that would effect the subsequent dicisions.
