I am a big BIG proponent of listening to this podcast in a way that best engages you.
It took me at least three real tries to listen to TMA, because the first few episodes felt really slow and I’d been promised an overarching narrative that I just wasn’t seeing (or, hearing). And the only reason I did eventually listen to it was because of that promised narrative, which I learned about from spoilery TikTok audios from later episodes. That’s not a dig on the podcast; it just wasn’t my speed at first.
Now, I’m absolutely obsessed with the podcast, and every episode is special to me, because I see them in a new way. I care about the narrator/main character because I know who he IS now. And I can better connect the Statements to the story as a whole.
Maybe this is blasphemous, but if the story feels too slow for you, but you know there’s a point you want to reach, just… reach it now! You can always go back and listen to earlier episodes for clarification later.
Ok I saw a thing talking about this and I'm curious about what others thought about this question:
I'm mainly curious about why it would be good or bad to skip it, so further explanations in comments are reblogs is appreciated. I was thinking about how making the consumption of media something that must be done in a certain way can make it feel more like a chore than relaxing. Magnus's first season without knowing the rest of the show can appear inconsequential to some since it has the lowest sound quality of the bunch and the least amount of meta plot of all of the seasons, but it does contain important moments and foreshadowing in a lot of it so there is a case to be made for why someone should not skip it. There is also the argument of just saying "maybe it isn't for you" if something about season 1 turns them off. But that depends on how important you think season 1 is as a set up for what the rest of the show is like.
Here's some old TAZ art I drew for @findingnimo108 based on their super amazing, awesome fic!! It's very good and cool and you all should check it out!!!!
When Martin learns that Jon can understand any language, he looks up the Unicode for his favorite emojis and memorizes them so that he can verbally say them to Jon. The first time he tells him “🥰”, Jon doesn’t realize what’s happening and is like “How are you doing that with your mouth”
