  • I LOVE this podcast

    This podcast is an exceptional supplement to Sanderson’s works. Somehow I have found myself in my life not surrounded by nerd friends who just want to read and talk about the endless works that Sanderson has to offer. It’s a bit pitiful. This podcast has been a breath of fresh air and nearly everything that I needed as far as discussion and excitement on the Cosmere. The hosts are insightful, funny, and just the right amount of disagreeable. I’ll definitely be subscribing on Patreon. Thanks for ... more

  • Fantastic Discussions!!

    I stumbled upon this podcast as I began my first ever foray into the cosmere earlier this year. I had to wait until I was chronologically caught up to 2017 to start listening, but I have been going through the back catalogue and keeping up with where I am in the books. The analysis is thoughtful and informative and the two hosts have great and witty rapport! Highly recommend this podcast!!

  • Awesome lore conversations of you love the Cosmere like me. I love how they sometimes are aligned with my thinking but also give me new ideas and questions to think on. One criticism is pronunciation. I read the books while listening at the same time on Audible. To me Audible versions by Michael and Kate give the ultimate guide to pronunciations and things like Brooke's Aharietiem (A-Har-Ree-ET-Tium) pronunciation won't happen with just 1 The Way of Kings LISTEN. BrandoSando even believes they a... more
