The Sanderlanche Podcast

Lots happening in these chapters, and so we've got a lot to talk about. I reveal some deep Cosmere lore surrounding Aether of the Night. So if you're not familiar with Brandon's unpublished works, you too might just learn something new on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Joe couldn't make it to this record. So Dac, Jaymee and Data talk over the ramifications of the details that are coming to light about the Set's plan as well as Telsin's sudden, unexpected appearance. There's also some stage setting going on in these chapters for some very interesting things to come in the next session. All this and a photo from the future? On this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

And then Death arrived. We've got some more fun little lore details dropping here along with the first real conversation with Marsh in 300 years. I might argue the first since the end of The Final Empire since Ruin seemed to be influencing him quite a bit by the time of Well of Ascension. So Dac was excited if nothing else. We've got it all, lies, traps, and fragments of bone on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

These chapters are mostly one long fight, but it's a very cool fight with lots of interesting little bits of information dropped along the way. We also get introduced to Gertruda, which is a name we're going to have to come up with a nickname for before long, I think. Beyond that, some very interesting theories being presented by our crew on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

So many Cosmere knowledge bombs dropping this episode that you might need a metaphor fallout shelter. Or else just stand out in it and let it happen. No shortage of theorizing and stuff for us to dissect this week on The Sanderlanche! No new episode next week. New Years has thrown us for a loop.

Jaymee couldn't make it this week, but for some reason that always seems to make the episodes run longer. She must be a moderating influence on our ridiculous tangents. So there's a lot of interesting stuff this week, but it's probably also a tangent-heavy experience on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

We get some fighting in these chapters but also a lot of focus on the newest member of the cast, Maxillium Ladrian. And, honestly, our crew isn't sure that Wax is the most responsible parent. Though who wouldn't jump at the chance to poop on an airship? Find out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Here we go, people. Hold on to your metal vials. We're diving into the recently published book, The Lost Metal. We're going to finish Mistborn era 2 on this show, potential spoilers be damned. Was it the right decision? Maybe. Too late to worry about that now. It's already happening. So strap in with your brand new Brandon Sanderson book for this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

In this episode we finish Perfect State, which is an experience in and of itself. After that, we talk about Dragonsteel Minicon a bit and finally reveal what the podcast will be reading next. So make sure you stay tuned through the end to find out!

This week we're taking a bit of a detour. We're moving into Perfect State, a non-Cosmere novella, for a couple of weeks. The reason? I need some time to read The Lost Metal and decide whether or not we can cover it next. So stay tuned to find out.
