The Sanderlanche Podcast

Kelsier spends an episode imprisoned, and he's not liking it one bit. Our crew however is really getting into Secret History. The Drifter in particular has elicited some very strong reactions, to the point that it gets just a little bit weird, I think. Find out what I mean on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

We begin delving into the mysteries of Mistborn: Secret History this episode. No one knew quite what to expect going in, but they pretty much all knew they weren't expecting this. Hear the varied reactions to the shocking revelations on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This is it, folks, the big one. We're finishing not only this book, but the whole trilogy we've been working on since the show started. Will they love it? Will they hate it? Find out this week on The Sanderlanche!

Lot of chapters in this, the penultimate episode of the Mistborn era 1 trilogy. Vin's a god now. Whoda thunkit? Certainly not any of our crew. No one is quite sure what to expect next since, "main character becomes a god" wasn't on anybody's bingo card up to this point, and that's something of a game-changer. We're deep in the Sanderlanche now, and everyone is flailing a bit trying to figure out where it's going to put us down. It's a very exciting, confusing time on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Everyone is hyped by reading one of the coolest fights in the series, Vin vs more than a dozen inquisitors. Goradel dies, which is a bummer, but it pays off when Marsh gets his moment to shine. The Sanderlanche is in full swing now, and the whole crew is amazed that we're so close to the end, and no one can say how it will go. Check out their predictions approaching the end of the trilogy on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Long episode this week. There's just so much starting to happen. Vin and Yomen make friends (kinda?), Vin kills Marsh (briefly), and Ruin proves that, yes, he CAN, in fact, take control of armies of Koloss. That's the last time we ever doubt the word of the epigraph writer. We are rapidly approaching the end of this trilogy, and you can feel the excitement in the air on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

In these chapters, things really start to heat up, sometimes quite literally. Spook has his heroic almost-death moment, and gets some begrudging respect from our crew. Sadly, we don't get TenSoon Kelsier vs Ruin Kelsier, which everyone was kind of pulling for. Meanwhile, elsewhere, everything else seems to be moving into position for the dominos to start falling over. Other than that, we've got some new members of the Misting Crew, Dac composes his own tombstone, and I announce exactly what we'll be reading when Hero of Ages wraps up. Very exciting week for The Sanderlanche!

Big week for emails. So stay tuned through the end for some interesting discussion that comes out of those. On the whole, though, our crew were big fans of these chapters, despite Spook/Beldre interactions making up most of 2 of the 4 chapters we read this week. Could this be a turning point for Sanderlanche/Spook relations? Only time will tell. The big news, though, is Preservation. He was the mist spirit all along? And he has a body? A now-dead body? How does that even work? Enjoy the confounding nature of the Cosmere on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

A nice mix of perspectives in this week's chapters. I daresay, we're setting the stage for some Sanderlanche-ing. This week our crew is delighted to see TenSoon return, even if his chapter is largely telling us how terrible things have gotten. They like seeing Elend strike out on his own, even if his chapter is largely depressing introspection. And they love seeing Spook because it gives everyone an opportunity to rag on him some more. My favorite, on the other hand, was Vin's chapter with the banter. Maybe that's just me. Even better, though, is the part where someone gives me an excuse to bust out the statistics on what countries our listeners are from. Find out the top 7 for April on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche! (I know, I know, I'm the only one who gets excited for those bits; I get to have fun too, you know!)

This week the crew continues to be hard on Spook. I hear, you, audience. I know it's heartbreaking for some who love Spook, but, in this case at least, dude is being kind of a creeper. I think the criticism this time is fair ... well, mostly. Joe just hates him. So we can't expect much there. Other than that, we've got some really insightful predictions and, for some reason, a discussion of which instrument each person in the crew would play if they formed a band. Yeah, I don't know. I recorded it. I edited it. I still don't know how it happened. Enjoy!
