Great episode guys. Now I can't stop imagining variations of Hoid going through Nalthian Customs in progressively more over the top disguises, some of which involve lightweaving, none of which actually fool Endowment

Just finished this up. The Dalinar flashbacks are awesome in graphic audio.

Great episode!
Re: Edglium Discussion
God Metals are just the physical form of a Shard's investiture. All physical investiture is metal. Breaths are Endowment's investiture in the physical realm in a vapor form, just like the Mists are Preservastion's investiture in the same state. Lerasium would be the product of something condensing and freezing* the Mists. So Edglium would just be frozen condensed breaths.
*I doubt that the phase changing processes of physical investiture are governed by pressure and temperature.
The returned are cognitive shadows stapled back to their own dead body with a splinter of Endowment. That stapeling, and therefore splintering, takes place on the Spiritual Realm, and so is a bad place to look for an analogy to what physically possessing / using Edglium should do.
A better thing to look at would be Peacegiver's Treasure, The Light of Peace. With over 50k breaths the Hallendran God Kings gain absolutely ridiculous power levels along with the ability to endow that power along with an Intent to everything around them. I expect that the ability Edglium provides would be similar, requiring the user of the power to endow it to another person or object by the very nature of its use.
To me the more interesting question is if the holder of randomly found Edglium can access the power, and the ability to endow it to others (awaken), since it hasn't been willingly endowed to them in the same way breaths and divine breaths by Edgli at birth / return and exclusively transferred by their owners thereafter.1
