    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

    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!

    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.

    The Final Empire Ch. 12-15: Kelsier's A Fuckup

    Howdy! This episode had a bunch of weird technical problems, so let me kno wif there's any remaining weirdness! Anyway, we learn a lot this week. We see the future with the help of the Ninth Metal, Atium, then have a real fuckup of a heist as Kelsier nearly leads a 16 year old girl to her death. What a father!  You can find Nora on twitter @NeitherNora and you can find more of zir work on norablake.online You can find Mark on twitter @charaznablunt and his other podcast Higgledy-Piggledy Whale Statements on the Abnormal Mapping podcast network!

    The Final Empire Ch. 9-11: Rusty Venture, Victorian Gentleman

    We're back! And we moved! This week we are coming at you from Chicago with a whole host of book talk (it's been a little extra time since the last one and we've been busy) then we dive into a somewhat lukewarm set of chapters! We talk about religion more than Brandon seems to want to, complain about his naming conventions, and ponder the Euthyphro dilemma!
