Welcome to the Cosmere Connections Podcast! We’re a bunch of book-loving nerds looking back and re-reading the entire Brandon Sanderson series involving the Cosmere. Our awesome team gives bi-weekly (or at least, we try!) reviews on a chapter-by-chapter basis one book at a time. If this is your first read through, don't worry! We avoid all spoilers in the first half of our show, keeping out thoughts limited to what happened in the chapters we just read. Then, after our outro, we make our way into the Spoiler Realm, where we highlight foreshadowing and Cosmere connections.

    "Old Bones, Old Faces" - Mistborn: SoS 'Chapters 18-21' ReRead w/Cosmere Connections

    A lot of references to Era 1 from the dog’s kandra lips. Marewill flowers, a city on the brink of collapse, an old ally, holy bands, a return to familiar locations, and even the relics of a long-dead world and the remains who saved it. But in Innate’s secret safe, Marasi finds an island’s worth of files relating to his horrible deeds and Ranette drops off some loot for Wax’s strange order. As Wax realizes Bleeder’s plan, Wayne sees it in action before coming to the realization of who she’s disguised as. Then, beasts attack! Aiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee!

    "Murder and mist-ery" - Mistborn: SoS 'Chapters 15-17' ReRead w/Cosmere Connections

    Wax stops to interrupt a man’s massage therapy after he claims to have seen the devil while Marasi convinces her boss that an evil cryptic is behind every bad thing going on in the city. Bleeder shows up, kills [REDACTED] (noooo!) and runs away, leaving Wax to catch a ride with his uncle on the way to the Homeland. Hopefully this talk will go better than the one he had with the elusive kandra.

    Let’s go to church.

    "Steris' time to shine" - Mistborn: SoS 'Chapters 9-11' ReRead w/Cosmere Connections

    For the first time in Cosmere Connections history, everyone gets a ball chapter (well, everyone who covers a chapter this episode).

    This is no normal mystery, it’s a SUPERNATURAL mystery. The assassin? A Faceless Immortal? The client? God, Harmony Himself. The detectives include a man with a past of crossing his eyes, a kleptomaniac who stalks a woman with a self-given runny nose, and a woman desperate to prove herself by being within steps of a gunfight.

    "Steampunk Ferring Assassin!" - Mistborn: SoS 'Chapters 1-4' ReRead w/Cosmere Connections

    What’s a political party without bribery? And what’s a start of a Cosmere book without a bit (lot) of bloodshed? But before we get to that, Wax, Wayne, and Marasi hunt down the masked Marksman via motorcar into the slums. There we see a face from the past, just how useful Wayne can be, and how Marasi is now packing heat! Then it’s time to focus on a psychopathic Steelrunner.
