About this episode

The episode dives deep into the themes and revelations of 'Wolves of the Calla' from the Dark Tower series, discussing spoilers and implications for the series' narrative.

In our main Wolves of the Calla Deep Dive, we came within touching distance of the Dark Tower’s biggest secret yet. Chris doesn’t know what to think, which is just where Nat and I want him.  So we stuck around to talk in full-spoiler terms about all the stuff Chris is yet to discover, and our own thoughts on books to come, on choice lines from Calla, and just what that reveal in the final pages really means for the nature of Roland’s world.   Enjoy.
