Even better they are using BOTH Thoth and the RWS so everyone will get something out of it. I've just finished the first two episodes (on the Fool and Magus) and they were probably the best discussions of the cards I've come across...

Listened to the podcast for The Fool today, and you're right, it's great. I had the Thoth and RWS in front of me (along with TM and Rosetta, why not) and was following along with references to symbols on the former two. In particular, I enjoyed the significance of crocodile/mountains bottom left and the thinking behind King scale colors for paths with Queen scale for sephiroth.
Though the Thoth and RWS are the springboards, the first podcast gives an extra glimpse into the ideas underpinning Tabula Mundi's Fool too, particularly, for me, more about the crocodile, the serpents (and Harpocrates), and the wormhole.
(As a bonus, I couldn't help but notice a quick reference 30 minutes in to the fact that MM has begun work on a third deck!)
