In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

And we're back! Albeit with 2 of the three a little under the weather, so brace yourself for some croaky voices at points! But we soldier on, much like Perrin on his unrelenting persuit of his kidnapped wife. There is some good news on that front, but at teh same time Perrin needs to manage his own reputation, the various forces travelling with him, Masema and his army of madmen and to top it all off, a huge pack of 50 darkhounds circling his camp. It's a tough gig, but so far he's keeping it together. Let us know what you thought of his situation and our recounting thereof!

It's our triumphant return after an 8 week break! And we kick off book 10 with a BANG. After working through a healthy amount of listener contributions and callbacks, we join Mat in the aftermath of their escape from Ebou Dar in the confusion caused by the freed Windfinders. Mat must navigate the conflicting priorities and under currents of all his entourage, including Egeanin, Tuon, the Aes Sedai he freed, and of course, Valan Luca. We also get an insightful chapter from Furyk Karede, a downright likeable Seanchan Deathwatch Guard.

We're back with a brand new book! And this one is already shaping up to be a bit of a test. We're surprisingly divided on the prologue here, which makes for some good conversation. 3h of it! We're treated to a scattershot of points of view, 7 of them over 80 pages. Rodel Ituralde joins the narrative, we check in with Eamon Valda and the surviving Whitecloaks, Gabrelle is observing a change in Logain, Yukiri is navigating heavy under currents in the White Tower, Gawyn feels cornered, Bashere sees things intensify in Andor when Caemlyn is besieged, and finally Samitsu and Sashalle plot, meet Loial and Krldin and save Dobraine from almost certain death. It's a lot of setup, and some of us got more out of it than others, so let us know what you got out of it via any of the social media links below: X - @BloodAndAshPod Email - moritz@bloodandashespodcast.com YouTube - Blood and Ashes Facebook - BloodAndAshesPodcast Web - www.bloodandashespodcast.com (Now with voicemail capabilities!)

It's the big finale! And we mean, BIG. HUGE. Rand takes care of some unfinished business in Far Madding, but not without a price.

Another mixed bag of treats this week with loads of rare POVs! The Seanchan Seeker, Almurat Mor, makes an appearance and scares the bejsus out of Bethamin, a lame Sul'dam. She runs to Egeanin who's lounging around with her butler boyfriend and smuggler extraordinaire, Bayle Domon. We have Rand kicking ass in Far Madding and Padan Fain with a subtle cameo. And finally we have Cadsuane and an entourage of Aes Sedai and Seafolk show up right outside Far Madding as well. Whooooo, wonder how this is going to go!

Alludra, Teslyn, Joline and Tuon are all around him, plus Thom, Juilin, Olver and his closest men from the Band. Tuon is definitely taking an ineterst in Mat, but Mat can only think of getting out of Ebou Dar and how to squeeze Alludra's secrets from her. Literally.

At long last, more rambling! In this episode Rand is cornered by the women in his life, and made to understand how things will be.

There is a fun little Forsaken gathering with Moridin in fine form. Tuon arrives! And as if the herald the return of a fan favourite... ...Mat's back!

Hello again, and welcome back to "everybody's popping in"! We join Elayne and her gang shortly after the attempt at her life and get an unexpected but welcome visit from Egwene in Tel'aran'rhiod. We also get a glimpse of Slayer and a bit of a debrief from the Black Ajah sisters in Caemlyn, and as if that's not dark enough, a check in with Milli Skane and her latest plant, Daved Hanlon. We then switch to Nynaeve who is having a torrid time with the Windfinders, but another surprise visit from Rand and Min seems to open the door for her to escape the drudgery of being everyone's teacher.

One more time, from the top! Join us as we embark on the journey that is book 9, Winter's Heart. In the prologue we check in with Seaine and Pevara as they hunt the Black ajah in the White Tower. We jump over to Elayne who is dealing with the current state of affairs in Andor, including the Black Tower, as well as partaking in a sacred Aiel ceremony. Toveine is coming to grips with what has happened to the captured sisters and the political undercurrents in the Black Tower. And finally Rand is jumping around, laying false trails for anyone that might be hunting him, and he explains to Min exactly what he intends to do next. It's a doozy!

It's that time again! A book finale! And boy, what a finale it is. After the wild events of our previous episode, there is plenty more to chew on here. Elayne has to deal with new developments in the Kin/Aes Sedai relationship, and finally arrives in Caemlyn to begin her claim in earnest. We bid farewell to Jaichim Carridin, but before you gett too excited, he's replaced by arguably an even more hateful character in Daved Hanlon. In Cairhien the Aes Sedai kidnappers under Wise ONes control swear fealty to Rand, and soon after his rooms in are exploded. He goes haring off to find the attackers, spooking the Dashiva, Gedwyn and Rochaid who seem to be the perpetrators. Morr is left to defend Min, but he suffers a sad fate. Perrin finally meets up with Masema, but while he's away Faile and friends are captured by Shaido. We all know where this is going! We also discuss Book 8 as a whole and whether it should be counted among "The Slog" or not. Spoiler: it shouldn't! Let us know what you think of book 8 using the links below!
