  • 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

  • I started listening in the Fall of 2024 to prepare for the release of Wind & Truth. I had a lot of gaps in my knowledge of Sanderson lore and I was hoping this podcast would help. It did not disappoint! Not only did it fill in my knowledge gaps because of the sheer amount of content in the episodes, it was also very entertaining. I love the back and forth and the great dynamic between Brooke and Tyler, and I even love Tyler's goofy theories! :D Now I'll hop into this podcast whenever I want to h... more
