Young/Adult

The episode past 1h40m was missing. This has now been fixed! If you previously listened to the Mistborn Epilogue episode, you can go back and listen from the 1 hour 40 minutes mark for the remainder of your episode. (You may need to re-download it depending on how you've been listening.)

In this very special season finale of Young/Adult, your hosts call their predictions stupid, all their favourite characters boring, and world-renowned author Brandon Sanderson an amateur with a lot to learn about proper writing.  Also: Adult suddenly remembers an exciting bet made in episode 3!  Content notes: Eye trauma; minor spoilers for The Sandman, Skulduggery Pleasant, Harry Potter...
