Welcome back to The Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance. In this section, Alyx mentions Renarin and her RP group, Sydney Scroungers, in the first two minutes. If you don't know Alyx, well, I need to tell you something. She really, really likes Renarin. You know how Wit enjoys mockery so much? Alyx loves Renarin even more, and while you think I'm joking, well... you just keep listening to Splintercast and I think you'll see I am not at all. Here we listen to the second Eshonai interlude, and then we move into the first two chapters of Part Two! Enjoy! As always, there are spoilers for these chapters, obviously. Kind of challenging to react to what is happening without giving away what occurs. From here on out, there are no more sample chapters, so everything will be in chronological order and no skipping!

We're back! Where have we been? Did Odium Splinter us in our sleep? Well, that's entirely possible that he Splintered my brain, yes, but it's mostly due to busy busy business on both Feather and I's part. Fear not, though, because Splintercast is going to dare to do what a 17th Shard podcast has never done: use a schedule. New content will go up three (maybe four) times a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. A buffer is in the works so you don't have to wait more. Woo! (Truly, we are the most professional. Sorry :/ ) One reason for the delay was also a glitch in audio editing, which Feather warns you about when it happens. It isn't much that is lost, fortunately. In any case, enjoy more of The Insanity of Feather. (That sounds like a really bad sequel to The Birds or something...)

Look, when I say this is the best day of Splintercast yet--or, quite possibly ever--I'm not kidding. This is Alyx's very favorite. Just listen to Chapter 41. There are gasps and also, perhaps desks broke. It's hard to tell. And that's not all, because then you get to her totally fangirl over Mraize. It's a very deep kind of love there. Also, kittyspren.

It's Splintercast, and we're going into Part Three of Words of Radiance! There are Splinters, and they are cast. Like the splinters that cast themselves away from your fleshy fingers. Like the splinters that cast magic spells. Presumably Awakening, I guess? Like... Kaladin cast off his chains? I don't know, but I should probably be saving these terrible puns for other episodes where I'm late on uploading, and I haven't had time to listen to them. Look, just because I haven't listened to them doesn't mean I don't know what happened. I'm sure Alyx cried and gasped and missed important plot details or something, and it will be hilarious. See? Nailed it. (Sorry about the delay!) Discuss this podcast here or in our Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance topic!

Phew, after that amazing ending of Part Two, we need a little breather I think, so it's just interludes today, where Feather misses some very critical information! What a slacker... Unrelated, but fun fact: when Brandon refers to Words of Radiance is a trilogy, he's referring to the fact that in other markets where the book will be split, there are natural break points. The end of part two is one of them. Neat! Discuss this podcast here or in our Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance topic!

This time on Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance, we have a special treat: it's the end of Part Two. So you know what happens: on the first chapter, Feather forgot her new mic. Way to be. Don't worry, she fixes it. Then the amazingness of this part of the book. Look, you don't want to listen to me blab, you want to hear the sobs. And oh there are sobs. Let's get to it.

Welcome back to the Splintercast. To no one's surprise, Shallan continues to be awesome. She has a wicked tongue, you know? Yep. Alyx talks about Shallan and Kabsal a bit--and tongues--and she gets "interrupted." Sure. For four hours? Sure Feather. Then there's more shipping. You aren't surprised. And then Alyx's favorite ship: Kaladin/Petty Rivalries That Are Probably Dumb. Like Kaladin vs. Horses. Bridgeboy vs. Princeling. Snark is wonderful. Then she gets some key plot points wrong! And then some plot points completely right. Adorable. This. Is. Splintercast.

Welcome back to the Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance! In this episode, we see chapters 16-18. More freakouts occur of Renarin. This should be entirely expected. Then other things happen. Because, you know, there's more audio and stuff. (Best writeup ever)

Welcome back to Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance. My apologies; I've been away and Alyx has been busy. But we're back with daily episodes, and this time, with five chapters (though some are quite short)! Shallan does a thing. Gets Bluth feels. Alyx can't pronounce things. Everything you want out of Splintercast. And then she sees the picture. She babbles... continuously. Look you didn't expect this, but then you totally do in retrospect. Thanks Dan Dos Santos for these delightful freakouts. Then Alyx switches to a new mic! Yay! (Oh you're so silly Feather.) This is Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance. No Dead Kholins 2014™
