SHOW NOTES: Hello and welcome to They Might Be Darkfriends, a podcast for friends and fans of the Wheel of Time where we discuss anything and everything showing the ups, downs, and tips related to content creation. And lately we've been discussing mental health in the fandom. We're also big fans of They Might Be Giants, a weird band from the 90s that's still making music today. This week - guest Rhuarc joins our four hosts to discuss a topic near and dear to our hearts: Imposter Syndrome - in our lives and in the story we love most Wheel of Time. Rhuarc hosts another Podcast: WatchParty Wheel of Time. Have you listened to them yet? With co-host Saimma and 6 panel members who have not read the books, they get into some fascinating discussions as they work through the TV Show episodes and lots of deep dives.

Catch them here: https://wotwatchparty.com/ DISCLAIMER: By no means are we experts. So if you're listening to this podcast and things resonate with you, that's great. We're happy about that. But we also don't want you to necessarily take everything we say as gospel. If there's a need for mental health awareness, if you need to take care of mental illness, please reach out to actual professionals and experts. We are just kind of our own little personal support group, but we don't, you know, we're not experts.

This episode was inspired by They Might Be Giant's "Sleep" - https://youtu.be/FSbEOZY7k20?si=DUgbZFgYk8sRikqt

Lyrics: Each (ahh) Time (ahh) I (ahh) Sleep (ahh) I'm (ahh) Sad (ahh) I (ahh) Will be replaced by somebody else In the morning Exactly like me Going around, drinking all my drinks Kissing my wife Thinking what I think Making me resentful but Each Time I Get up in the morning I'm glad I Took Someone else's place
