FE10 Chapters 1-P, 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3That's right baby, we're back!And what a fitting note to come back on. Today, we're starting our journey through FE10, Radiant Dawn! No spoilers for the episode, but let's just say I'm particularly happy to be kicking this one off. As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
FE7 wrap upJoin me as I, in this wrap up episode, discuss one of the most all over the place games in the series, and contemplate what went right and what went wrong from my perspective during this playthrough.Follow me on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com to send any questions or comments!
FE6 and FE9 Trial mapsI think I figured out why these maps are called trial maps. It's because the people who made them deserve to be tried for their crimes. Come join me as I discuss the bonus maps tied to meeting certain requirements in FE6 and FE9. Most of you have probably never played these maps, and after today, you probably still won't want to!As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
FE9 wrap upCome join me as we say goodbye to our muse of the past 6 months, Path of Radiance! I have a fair bit to say to summarize my thoughts on this game, particularly as it relates to the story, characters and villains that it has to offer. As excited as I am to be moving on to the next game, I hope I managed to communicate just how much I enjoyed revisiting PoR and examining the different aspects of the story in depth.As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
FE9 Chapters 26, 27, 28 and EndgameWe have finally come to the end of Ike's first journey through Tellius, and collect the last few allies along our way. There's quite a lot to discuss in this one, from the...mixed execution of the Black Knight, to who is quite possibly the worst final boss in the series. There are some bumps in the road right at the end, but I can say that I genuinely enjoyed my time throughout this playthrough, and I'm super excited to get into the sequel with you all!As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
FE9 Calill, Largo, Astrid, Makalov, DevdanJoin me as we discuss this group of characters, many of whom will go on to become Crimean knights. As has been the case for the past few episodes, there wasn't a lot here that I particularly loved but I am certainly excited to be getting closer to the end of the game!

FE9 Ilyana, Mordecai, Lethe, and RanulfToday we'll be taking a look at the cats and the...bigger cat of Gallia! Also Ilyana is there, I think. I don't have much to say about her, unfortunately. But the others are pretty cool!As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
FE9 chapters 22, 23, 24 and 25After being away for so long, Elincia finally makes her triumphant return to Crimea! Along the way, we have some long awaited reunions with some truly bizarre prepromoted units, and a few normal ones as well. Only a few chapters left until endgame, folks...wish me luck as I polish off the rest of the game.
FE9 Marica, Tanith, Janaff, Ulki, and ReysonCome and join me as we take a look at the supports of a few of our flying units, and deep dive into a few of the issues I have with some Laguz/Beorc supports in this game. We have a healthy mix of good and bad here, but a couple of these guys I thoroughly enjoyed reading so I'm excited to discuss!As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
FE9 Chapters 18, 19, 20 and 21A massive turning point in the game as Ike switches from defense to offense, pushing his way into Daein and encountering various challenges along the way. A lot of cool story beats and recruitable characters this time around, that I'm eager to talk about!A huge thanks to @redmagejacob for joining me on this one! Check him out, and as always feel free to reach out to the show through social media, comment, or email!
FE9 Muarim, Tormod, and StefanJoin me as we discuss these inhabitants of the Grann Desert. As much as I enjoy these characters for their roles in the main story and through base conversations, I was a bit let down by these supports. But that doesn't mean there's no good discussion to be had here!As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
FE9 chapters 14, 15, 16 and 17Join me as we tackle the Begnion chapters of Path of Radiance. Schemes and plots abound as Ike deals with Laguz slavery, Beorc scheming, and the history of a tragic genocide. Really intense this time around, and I'm excited to go through it all.As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
FE9 chapters 11, 12, and 13.Join me as we embark on one of the best sections of FE9's narrative, and some of the best maps in the game to go along with it! We get into some more serious talk in this one so be prepared for that, I guess. And be sure to let me know your favorite Fire Emblem quote by reaching out to @imainmeleekirby on twitter and bluesky, or emailing turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com.
FE9 Brom, Kieran, Nephenee & Volke.Today we'll be taking a look at the 4 recruitable characters from chapter 10. It's a very short one this time around, as the number of actual conversations for these guys is quite low, so enjoy the quick discussion before we move on to the next main episode. Also a good chunk at the beginning is dedicated to talking about where I've been the last few weeks, but I'll be sure to address that in the next main episode as well.
FE9 Rhys, Mist, Rolf, Gatrie, and MiaToday we'll be taking a look at the 5 remaining Greil Mercenaries, and discussing some of the surprisingly thoughtful and interesting supports between them. As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
Come join me as we experience this major turning point in the story of Path of Radiance. With the introduction of the Black Knight, everything begins to change for Ike and co, and the path through the rest of the game is made clear to us. Sorry it took so long to get this one out! As you can see by the length and as I mention several times during the episode, there was a LOT of ground to cover here. SSS episodes should be coming soon! As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter and Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com.
FE9 Titania, Boyd, Oscar, Shinon, SorenKicking off our FE9 support episodes with the first half of the Greil mercenaries! The second half will come next time. I really enjoyed reading most of these, especially the supports that the mercenaries had with each other, as it really gave me the sense that they are one big family. I can't wait to get to the other 5 members!
FE9 Chapters 4, 5, and 6Join me as we continue our trek through the early game of FE9! Not a particularly thrilling set of chapters this time around, but I think there are some fun points of discussion to be had! Hope you all enjoy listening.As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
FE9 Prologue + chapters 1, 2 and 3Join me as we take our first steps along our journey through Path of Radiance! These early chapters meander around a bit, but in doing so they paint a really clear and interesting picture of the mercenary life, and flesh out the most unique starting situation for a protagonist that we've seen up until now!As always, feel free to reach out to @imainmeleekirby on Twitter or Bluesky, or email turnwheelpodcast@gmail.com!
