Hey all, Myself and Jessie are going to be at JordanCon this weekend! And we've already got three panels set up to record for you! Friday, 4pm EST: Listener Questions Saturday, 10am EST: Fandom VIPs Sunday, 11:30am EST: Team Jordan If you'll be at the convention, you can join us for all three of these in Goulding C. If not, though, don't dispare! We will be doing a live video stream of each of these! Watch Dragonmount.com and all of our social media streams to find out where you can watch each time. Here's a hint: it will always be via YouTube. We do have a request from you, though: if you have any questions - for Team Jordan, any of the people listed in the dedication of Tower of Midnight, or the podcaster's themselves - please, let us know! Post them in this forum thread, making sure to tell us who to ask. We can't promise to use every question, simply because of time, but we will get to as many of them as we can! Thank you all! May you find water and shade! Spencer

Jason D. - @Dragonmount A Memory of Light is out. The Wheel of Time turns on, but this story has reached its ending. The podcast hasn't, though! With the final book out, we have all the more to discuss and debate. And we won't be doing it alone. Instead, we will be inviting two of our listeners to join us for a discussion of all that has happened in A Memory of Light. That's right: you have the opportunity to join us for for a recording of The 4th Age Podcast. Before you start commenting below, keep reading to find out how you can join us. If you are interested, please make a 1-2 minute recording of yourself and your reactions to just the prologue of A Memory of Light. Send that recording, in .mp3 format, to podcast@dragonmount.com. Based on the recordings we receive, we will choose two (2) listeners to join us for an episode of The 4th Age Podcast. Please get all submissions into us by Noon PST Friday, January 18th, 2013. Any submissions received after that time will not be considered. Also, please only submit if you can commit to being available for the recording session that will take place at 6pm PST on Saturday, January 19th, 2013. We plan to have a quick turnaround on this one. We will contact those who are chosen to join us early Saturday morning, so if you submit something, make sure to check your email throughout the day. Important! You are not auditioning for a place on The 4th Age Podcast. This is simply to join us for a special "Listener's Viewpoint" episode. Thank you, and we look forward to all your submissions. May you find water and shade. Spencer

For myself, I think traditional weapons would be best. As the question made no mention of any training, I have to assume a situation where I'm taken as I am now, about to be thrust into a battle, and given the choice of weapons or the One Power. Now, I have no idea how to use the One Power. And, as we've read time and again, accessing the True Source is dangerous, at best. And even after that's mastered, it takes time to learn how to be dangerous with the One Power. With traditional weapons - swords, staves, and perhaps some projectile weapons - I at least know enough to not hurt myself, and would like to think that I would have a sporting chance against many possible opponents.
