Wheel of Time

Wheel of Time

Author: Sanspants Radio January 5, 2017 Duration: 1:28:06

In which our heroes undertake a great quest and attempt to adapt The Wheel of Time book series. We try to remember when we started the series, wonder when or if we'll ever finish the series and forget the names of hundreds of characters. Damo reveals his email address, Zammit thinks he'll never get to the end and Gabe tries to get his dad on board. So sit back, slog through one behemoth of a book at a time and then help us work out how to bring The Wheel of Time off the page and bring it to the silver screen. Or maybe the small screen if we’re being honest. 

Want to send Zammit on another cruise so he can finish the book? Head to http://www.patreon.com/sanspantsradio and for as little as $1 a month we'll ship him off sharpish.

Ever watch a movie and find yourself mentally rewriting the third act, or wondering how a promising idea went so wrong? That’s the exact spirit of Movie Maintenance, a podcast from Sanspants Radio that dives into the world of cinema with a uniquely hands-on approach. Think of it as a workshop for films, where each episode picks apart a Hollywood hit or miss-not just to critique, but to actively rebuild. The hosts operate from a playful yet passionate conviction: they can do it better. What you’ll hear is a lively blend of scene-by-scene review, speculative fan fiction, and what they call ‘armchair producing,’ as they brainstorm alternative plots, characters, and endings. It’s less about simply pointing out flaws and more about the creative fun of fixing them, whether the film is a beloved classic or a notorious flop. This podcast is for anyone who loves talking about movies beyond a simple thumbs up or down, offering a space where passionate film discussion meets imaginative problem-solving. So if you’ve ever shouted at the screen with a better idea, you’ll find a kindred spirit here.
