    We're back to close out the first Mistborn book! We recorded this a week or two ago but that's just how busy we've been, unfortunately. Still a good episode, though, so we hope you enjoy!

    The Book of Three

    The Book of Three

    In which we talk about Lloyd Alexander's The Book of Three, the first in The Chronicles of Prydain. It's a great book and a great conversation that gets pretty far afield.

    We'll be back later in May to talk about Mistborn: The Final Empire, which $1 patrons will get a week early as usual. Then, schedules permitting, in June we will have episodes on the next book in Mistborn and Prydain: The Well of Ascension and The Black Cauldron respectively. That Black Cauldron episode will be exclusive to our $5 patrons, so be sure to subscribe to hear that!

    The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England

    The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England

    In this episode, we talk about Book 2 of Brandon's secret projects, The Frugal Wizard's Guide to Surviving Medieval England. We found it to be a real mixed bag, but despite having a lot of objections are more or less warm on it. What a ringing endorsement that is haha.

    We will be back with one more April (hopefully) episode about The Book of Three, the first book Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain. After that we are penciled in for a May (hopefully) episode where we will talk about all of The Final Empire! We are going to transition out of chapter by chapter reads of these books and into covering them as a whole. I am looking forward to capping that off and moving onward to the rest of the Cosmere, as well as the other Secret Project books and other fantasy series!

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    We're back! The year of Brandon has begun and we had no choice but to talk to you about the first book of this kickstarter, which we really enjoyed. Here's hoping the rest are as good as this.

    The Final Empire Ch. 21-25: The Part With The Sexual Assault

    The Final Empire Ch. 21-25: The Part With The Sexual Assault

    We're back! We get...a lot to talk about this time. Some sexual assault/murder, a lot of weird race science shit, and a ball! We also talk about Brandon starting beef with G.R.R. Martin over Elden Ring.

    The Final Empire Ch. 16-20: Sazed Threepio, Human Cyborg Relations

    The Final Empire Ch. 16-20: Sazed Threepio, Human Cyborg Relations

    We're back! Autumn couldn't make it this week but rest assured there's plenty for us to talk about without them. What a chunk of book, huh? It's got everything. There's just too much to summarize, from the Terris "breeding programs" to Vin's childhood trauma to another allomancy tutorial. It's a good time, even if some of Brandon's choices are...questionable.

alex[h2wf] ,

Glad to have found y’all

None of my friends read fantasy novels so it’s so awesome to actually have some deeper engagement about some books I love without having to engage with the fantasy community at large lol.
