KChan Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Welcome to ShardCast: Casting Shards with the Shardiest of Casters! (shoutout to Will for the quote, by the way) We need your help! Here at ShardCast, we want to talk about things that our listeners want to hear about. We had a great time recording Intro to the Cosmere and Realmatic theory, but now we want to hear what you guys want to hear about! Do you want a podcast about Hoid? Spren/seons/skaze? Let us know! Post your suggestions here, and we might just give you a shoutout for giving us our next episode topic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Alvein Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 maybe a cast discussing confirmed theories/facts about each shardworld? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Some thoughts: - *seconding the in-depth Hoid podcast* - magic (rules as stated by brandon (a la essays), examples from canon, speculated unifying theories (foci/intents/fuel/etc.)) - the seventeenth shard (aims, sightings, members known and suspected, possible aims/objectives) - maybe an episode on unpublished/non-canon works (setting, plot, chronology, possible Cosmeric insights). there are a handful of Sharders who have experience with these, and it'd be great to leverage & share that knowledge (also it'd go a long way to dissolving a persistent "in-crowd" vibe). even though they can't be used for official theorycraft, it'd be great to have a better handle on these books so that, when they come up on the forums/podcast, everyone's on the same page. I'd love to see topics that were covered in the first two casts (what it means to be a Shardweilder, which books fall in the chronology of the Cosmere and why that's important, etc.) covered in more depth. I feel like the podcasts are a great vehicle for delving into one narrow topic very deeply . I know these first few are introductory, so a general-shallow coverage makes sense. But I hope they get deep quickly. Also, the podcast could be a great vehicle for live debates - rather than chronicling what we already know (which is a very finite list of discussion topics), have two people (maybe two guests, maybe two regulars who research preassigned positions before the start of the cast) debate and defend possibilities for things that are uncertain (which is a much bigger list). This would give the dual benefits of providing more than one flavor of podcast (broad chronicling vs. narrow delving vs. lively debate) to keep things fresh & interesting, and giving you more material (thus ensuring the longevity of the project). Another thought: start each with a little bit more news: not only new releases, but Brandon's tour schedule for instance. I know the info cold be gotten elsewhere, but it would help to make the cast a one-stop-shop for all things Sanderson. Just my 2 cents EDIT: my mobile device doesn't like this page's editor Edited July 10, 2012 by Puck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
