Great Balance & Optimism

Both bring a great depth of knowledge. The right balance of curiosity and creativity to help speculate the future of the cosmere while still helping new fans get more out of the books.

These two are great!

These guys are great for all things Cosmere! They are fun to listen to, the conversation is always relevant to the material and they talk about the things I am interested in delving into. I listened to a couple other Cosmere podcasts a few times before I found this one and to me it is far and away the best.

Personally I like that they don’t agree on everything, and things get just a little spicy now and then. That makes it more of a book club atmosphere and I love it! Thanks guys!

Love the podcast! 5 stars now!

I binged this podcast recently. I just finished Yumi and the Nightmare Painter and I was so sad that there was no more book to read, but I was able to come here and listen to a few FWH episodes and I felt better about having no more book. I definitely love the podcast in it’s current state. Near the beginning there were some growing pains with language that was out of line in my opinion, considering this podcast isn’t rated explicit, but now it’s all good things. I love the way that the hosts interact, with one stretching the realms of possibility and the other providing a foundation of reality. It makes for a great podcast. Nice job!
