  • Genuine Fun

    I’ve become an avid reader in my mid twenties after never really finishing a book. Brandon was the author that introduced my ADHD riddled brain to truly fantastical worlds and characters worth remembering. The discussions in this podcast are unserious, fun, and often give insight into why these authors are so amazing. They get me through my subway journey every day.

  • Good takes, fun vibe

    Cringey but good fun. Best by far when they’re talking about movies, adaptations and media.

  • Kindness is a Valuable Act

    Dan Wells consistently speaking poorly to or about other people is a disappointing addition to an otherwise enjoyable show with the talented Brandon Sanderson.
