We're taking a short break as we round out the year. See you on February 1st 2025!Di Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large

Auri saves a little critter … or does she? We talk about how Auri responds to a creature in distress, the unspoken similarities between Kvothe and Auri, and get confused about Christ - ‘tis the season, after all!@pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

Auri finds out what happened to her soap. We talk about Auri’s rage, and how it hints at a question at the core of the book. We also talk about anger more broadly - who is allowed to be angry in fiction, and how we, as a society, treat anger. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like th…

Auri’s soap is gone! We discuss despair, bricky niches, and heaps.@pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!Di Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large

Auri plans her next unhappy route. We talk about Auri’s slightly premodern matches, list a few more reasons one might not want to go to Pickering, and why Auri might prefer Foxen’s light. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

The day gets a little worse as Auri runs out of soap. We talk about a particularly weird place-name, Auri’s read on Kvothe, and without Nick our remaining cohosts struggle to find things to discuss. Truly they are lost without Nick, as lambs without a shepherd. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6…

Foxen refuses to get out of bed this morning. We talk about truculence, tenebrousness, and Nick pops in briefly sounding like a demon due to a combination of a low quality mic and being sick. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

It’s a new day, and the vibes are bad. We talk about how we handle depression days, get a little down, and talk about the candle words on the page. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!Di Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large

On this page, we discuss the impermanence of all things, including the written word, the meaning and anti-meaning of emptiness and silence, and the uncomfortable questions we must ask of ourselves. Is silence violence? Tune in to find out.Di Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large

Auri wept. We talk about not believing reddit-brained nonsense, why Auri is weeping, and the resonances this brief chapter has.@pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!Di Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large

Auri leaves behind something, then runs away and eats some pinecones. We talk about pine nuts, we *don’t* debate the nature of free will, and we talk about having good posture. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

Auri plays into the belief that fairies are real. We talk about how Auri is performing fairy-ness on this page, how Auri’s actions tie into the broader themes of the Kingkiller series, and the utility of breaking rules.@pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

Auri leaves behind a lace doily, and attracts some unwanted attention. We talk about how much labour used to go into making everyday objects, the relationship between humankind, fairies, and crows, and fancy butter.@pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

Auri takes one of our favourite things: an inventory . We talk about an answer to one of our long-standing questions, critique the farmers’ possessions, and where laurels grow in real life. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

Auri does what we all aspire to do: meet a sleepy dog. We talk about Auri’s Disney Princess Energy and fairylike activities, accuse the farm of being an exploitative agribusiness, and learn about Jordana’s friend who acquired a graveyard by accident. Recommended this episode: The Pope’s Exorcist (2023)@pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the communi…

The farmhouse is a treasure trove for sticky-fingered Auri, and we describe an illustration of a tree above a gravestone. We talk about who’s who, what the farm-denizens will learn from Auri’s visit, and discuss the use of “seemly”. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, te…

Auri continues to explore, and then possibly commits a fatal error! We open with a dire warning, discuss the fruit of the laurel tree, and that opens up a larger conversation about the place of trees in fantasy fiction.@pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

Auri explores the land outside the University town. We issue a bashful correction, talk about how Auri externalizes her feelings onto her surroundings, Jordana makes some outlandish claims without citing her sources, and we talk about clouds. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like th…

Auri scampers out of the Underthing, past the foreboding walls of Haven.

An illustration of where we last left Auri, sitting on a rooftop, waiting for Kvothe. Jordana analyzes the page in detail, and we talk about how the moonlight and Auri are visually connected on this page, illustration techniques for white on black, and how the artist draws our focus towards Auri. You’re also gonna hear a lot of nonsense about the p…

Seemingly rather sadly, Auri waits. We talk about The Hollybottle, how Auri don’t need no man, and we learn too late about radium and the Radium Girls.

Auri bravely moves to the roofs, among the chimbleys. We talk about how we’ve become a hideous amalgam, the omnipresent chimbleys, and how “real” names are valid to Auri. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!Di Nick Alexander, Jordana Heney, & Jeremy Large

Auri leaves the Underthing and takes a look at the moon.

Auri is delighted to discover a perfect space, but is distracted by mysterious music. We rue the state of affairs that brought us to (temporarily!) lose a co-host, talk about how Auri’s feelings for Kvothe might skew romantic, Auri’s relationship with her own (possibly sexual?) desires, and what perfection means to her. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.…

Auri figures out what to do with the gear! We talk about how it’s easy to recognize your own flaws in others, less so in yourself. We talk about how the machinata make us think of Numenara, and the masculine nature of Foxen. Fair warning - this episode contains a lot of nonsense too. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at h…

Auri has a new task to be about! We discuss Auri’s process, and then read some letters - one of which prompts a long and meandering explanation of Young Frankenstein, and then talk about feet pics. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

Auri finds her name, and returns to home, and to herself. We are immediately derailed by Jordana’s nastiness and the word effulgent, but eventually we talk about Auri’s perfect leaf, and the ethics of writing in a book. @pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf you like the show, tell a friend!…

Auri satisfies herself that she is alone, as best she can. On this page, Jordana registers some suspicion regarding a page number, and then we talk about whether we can trust what Auri tells us about her reasoning, and do a deep dive into Auri’s terror.@pageofthewindpageofthewind.comJoin the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcgIf y…

Auri has herself a little snack. We talk about the names of Tumbral and Umbral and discuss the significance of cutting the apple into seven pieces, as well as the leatheriness of an apple.
