Shardcast

Brandon has read previews from book 5 of The Stormlight Archive, called Knights of Wind and Truth for now, at various occasions. We delve into them and discuss what this might mean for the book and the greater Cosmere!

Welcome to a bonkers, off-the-rails Shardcast. We're talking Tress and Yumi. We're talking Midnight Essence and the nightmares. We're talking about smoke. Black smoke! Yes, that's what we are doing for over two hours. Can you guess where we go in this episode and how many bizarre terms we mention? Well... you'll find out!

Brandon's back on Shardcast! In this episode we discuss all sorts of spoiler questions from The Lost Metal, Tress of the Emerald Sea, and Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, and other cosmere questions. Brandon is awesome as always and we really thank him for his time here! Enjoy, there are some very interesting new things here, like a title for Era 3 and... more dragons than you would expect.

It's time to talk about Secret Project 3: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. It's a Brandon cosmere romance book, and how did he do? Listen on to find out.

The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England (Secret Project 2) is now out to everyone in bookstores (as of June 27th), so with that and because of some scheduling issues in April, we thought we'd do it now! What did we think about the noncosmere Secret Project? Stay tuned to find out!

In this very special episode of Shardcast, we interview Isaac Stewart, VP of Creative Development at Dragonsteel! We talk about all the projects he has been or is currently working on, including his very own Cosmere novel!

This is it, it's our final Word of Brandon episode for solidly like a month. This episode covers the final bit of the December Spoiler Stream, and then we talk about the Tress Spoiler Stream.

We're back! There's still more WoBs! Jaddeth is Autonomy, maybe? Tons of Elantris and Lost Metal stuff here, as well as Hoid and Bloody Tan stuff!

We have Eric (Chaos), David (Windrunner), Veronica (Cheyenne Sedai), and Kendra (little wilson).

On today's episode, we are finally finishing up WoBs, except for the Tress stream from yesterday. We talk about Navani's past, Jasnah and Hoid, storms blowing leeward, intense ship names discussion (I didn't expect this today!), and cosmere hell.

It's time for more Words of Brandon from Dragonsteel, and we start on December's spoiler stream! This one is even more unhinged and philosophical than the last one. We talk about brontosauruses (brontosauri?), bugs, bones, piles of cash, and of course, what is a soul, anyway?

It's been ages since we've done Words of Brandon, and boy there's a ton to catch up on. We start with some miscellaneous events, then get to Dragonsteel 2022 ones. Expect two more WoB episodes as well! This episode is peak unhinged Shardcast, and I love it.

The White Sand Omnibus is here, and so it's time for another episode of Shardcast where we go into extensive detail on things. There's character stuff, lore stuff, talking about the Indiegogo failure, as well as astrophysics and complex cosmere stuff. Oh, and infesting sand! This is a very weird and extremely nerdy episode, even for us.

It's time we talk about aethers, the last big cosmere magic system! Or is this actually an MCU podcast? A Pinnochio podcast? Maybe it's an ecology and physics podcast. Surprise, it's red spikes all the way down. This episode is both very on the rails and also totally not.

Secret Project 1 is here, and it's Tress of the Emerald Sea! What did we think of it? Turns out it's reeeeeally good! Watch on for our reactions, some complaining, some lore, and randomly, Rithmatist and White Sand thoughts? Oh yeah, things are wild.

Here's our Shardcast on the State of the Sanderson 2022. This was streamed live on our YouTube channel, so this is unedited, but hopefully you enjoy!

It's our longest episode ever! If you've read Lost Metal, you know what this episode is about, and there's so so much to discuss. In fact, believe it or not, we probably easily could have talked for two more hours at least on it. In this one, Alyx is a mind-reader and says Realmatic things! We also get talking about the Fused.

We discuss the origins and motivations of offworlders that show up in latest Mistborn book! Besides the obvious Lost Metal spoilers, there's a lot of cosmere references in this one!

In this episode, we discuss, well, maybe a single word about Harmony. Big Lost Metal spoilers on this one!

It's our final reactions show on The Lost Metal! Yet more thoughts on characters, Trell stuff, cosmere stuff, and a surprising amount of Sel stuff more in-depth than you'd expect.

On this episode of Shardcast, we have to finally talk about answers about Trell, which we at last got in The Lost Metal. No spoilers in the description, but if you've read the book, you know what this is about! Big Lost Metal spoilers immediately, and we talk about all sorts of arcane cosmere stuff too.

It's time for our second reactions video on The Lost Metal, the final Wax & Wayne novel! How did this stack up to other books in Mistborn Era 2? Well more opinions are here! Enjoy! This one is also a bit of a sequel from Lost Previews too!

The Lost Metal, the final Mistborn Era 2 book is out, and you know we have so many full book, spoilery reactions for you this episode of Shardcast! We start with a short spoiler-free section and then go into full spoilers, and it's full cosmere spoilers too! We have so much to say! Also, this has some swanky visual changes for you. It's the end of an era, but beginning of a new one! And don't worry, we barely touched on stuff here, but there is so much analysis still to come!

It's our last Rhythm of War topic for 2022, and our last Shardcast before The Lost Metal! It's Adolin and Maya, because we've never done a dedicated cast on Adolin even before RoW. We talk about Adolin and Sadeas, pronunciation, ADOLINBLADE, how amazing Adolin and Maya are, and whether Maya will be healed. Also featuring a ghostly pumpkin.

Today we have a special episode, talking with author Janci Patterson on Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians, along with some stuff about the Cytoverse. We also randomly talk about dog bones and weresharks. It's lots of fun!
