  • Love the content - invest in new mic!!

    Love the show and the chat between the hosts and looking forward to seeing what they cover next. Would love if the hosts invested in slightly better sound equipment as there is a little static/mush on some of the audio!

  • So far so great!

    Just found this podcast last week and I’m tearing through the Mistborn episodes. I’m super duper hoping the guys deep dive more Sanderson works 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I’m currently listening to episode 6 of the Hero of Ages deep dive and Steven mentioned having some dark romance recs? Any chance a girl could get those recs???

  • Sponsored by Israel

    This podcast is sponsored by the state of Israel. And the adds are right up front. So if you are not in the mood to consider how great the war in Gaza is going pick another podcast.

  • New Listener, staying cuz it’s great!

    I’m a new listener and joined in on the fun when I learned about this podcast from following Steve on YouTube. I’m following along in realtime reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl book 1 and listening to these deep dive podcasts as they come out. So much fun to listen to and it’s a fun recap. I also like the extra input of predictions and what they like/don’t like and favorite quotes. Great podcast, keep it up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 1: Dungeon Crawler Carl (Ch. 1-11)
Q: Is the AI truly sentient, and does every crawler experience the same AI or a personalized one?
The hosts pose the question and acknowledge it as a key lore uncertainty, leaning toward a shared narrative device with possible individualized experiences, and plan to wait for further clues in upcoming chapters.
Peter Orullian on Collaborating w/ Brandon Sanderson
Q: What did you learn from your time as a musician that informs you as an author?
He describes how live performance transfers emotional immediacy to writing, the sense of storytelling through music, and the importance of authentic community representation in genres like metal, which informs his approach to world-building and character development.
Peter Orullian on Collaborating w/ Brandon Sanderson
Q: For those out there who don't know much about you, what is your origin story in the arts?
Peter explains he always pursued both storytelling and music, began writing seriously after high school, and gradually integrated his two passions through bands and solo projects, leading to a later push into fantasy writing and collaborations.
Audience Q&A
Q: Which Sanderson character trait do you see shine in the other co-host and which in yourself?
Hayden leans toward epigraph traits (mysterious and oblique), Steven aligns with Breeze's humor and a wry, observational wit, while both see growth in characters like Elland from Mistborn and Tensoon in Book 2.
Mistborn & Stormlight Archive Are Coming To AppleTV w/ Ben Grange
Q: What is your personal favorite ideal among The Night's Radiant?
I would probably say, I will protect those who cannot protect themselves. Life Before Death is a huge one for me, too.
