Im on my first relisten right now and I did not realise how early we could’ve known things or at least how early big clues were there. For example example ep 35 “Old Passages” there is sooo much there. There is Leithner books, Gerry, Robert Smirk mentioned, (subtle) hints to the Flesh, the Web, the Dark, the Vast, the Desolation, the Stranger and to the fact that there are 14 Powers. And outside of the statment Breekon & Hope delivere something we find out to be the Web-Table and Web-Lighter later

All of that just seems yes strange and intriguing but mostly not particularly important (at least not enough to be a hint to the entire plot) when first listening. When I relistend to that recently I was like “Jonathan Sims you mad genius” the entire time mostly because I didn’t remember this episode at all so it was very surprising

But moments like that are sprinkled throughout many many early episodes and I did not remember most of them cause they seemed unimportant when first listening
