In this inaugural episode of Splintercast (or is it a revival?), we take a look at the Cradle series by Will Wight! As you're used to from Shardcast, there's lots to talk about. Splintercast is a new spin-off series where we discuss media outside Brandon's works and the cosmere. New episodes will come out sporadically, don't expect this to become a regular thing! This episode we have Ala (Rasarr), Evgeni (Argent), Shannon (Grey), Ben (Overlord Jebus), and Ian (Weiry)! This is also the first episode edited by Marvin (Paleo), so please excuse any jankiness in the episode.
