India, Josh, Peter, and AJ are reading The Malazan Book of the Fallen. A bad idea? Maybe, but we'll at least have fun along the way.
Peter has read the series before, but it's Josh, India, and AJ's first time.
Join us, as we talk through each book and enjoy the works of Steven Erikson.

The Crippled God - 'He Was a Soldier' - Part 2
Just 14 minutes after recording the first episode of this season we recorded the second! Is it obvious in our energy???
Pete is once again under scrutiny, Josh is back on his #soldiersh*t, Pete still loves a little worm of a guy, India thinks shadowdancing is probably sexy.

Customer Reviews
Exactly how I like to discuss books
I love reading but I’m not an English major nor do I enjoy picking apart every literary device in books to where it feels like homework - but I do love a hilarious and relatable recap and casual predictions or discussions about clues missed or different interpretations and that’s exactly what I get listening to this group. I’m only on 2 - Deadhouse Gates right now and I’m a slow reader so I get so sad when I have to get through half an inch of pages before I can listen to the next episode! Anyways I’m having a blast and thanks for pushing through this series to give me hours of enjoyment along with the story in these epic doorstoppers.
Amazing
Listening to this podcast is like reading my favorite books all over again through new eyes.
This podcast is amazing.
When I first started listening to this, I had lost steam halfway through Reaper’s Gale and was considering putting the series down for good. The struggles, good times, and friendship that these three had with the books convinced me to push through. Thank you, seriously — these podcast episodes are too good to miss.
