The Sanderlanche Podcast

Lots of weirdness this week, not the least of which is the IRE and what the heck is going on with any of that. There's cons being pulled and possibly a rave happening. We find out the secret identity of the sexy drifter, and everyone is thinking maybe there's something more to this guy than we thought before, but what could it be? Oh, and also Kelsier becomes a god. You know, no big. The big news,...

Courtesy of Sasha: In this episode, we get Khrissalla Explains It All and then a Ghost Road Trip!

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 w...

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...

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...

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 so...

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 mi...

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...

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...

Threw you all a bit of a curveball and tossed in chapter 44 last minute. Still, it ends us in a great spot. Listen to what our crew thinks about the apparent return of Vin's long-lost, but hardly-lamented big brother in this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

In this episode, we find out the dark secret of the Koloss. Yes, beyond being hideous abominations who slaughter indiscriminately, there's even more messed up stuff going on with those guys. On top of that, the podcast crew is getting very interested in all the knowledge drops about the horrifying, yet intriguing art known as hemalurgy. And then there's a new Survivor in town.  Is it Spook? Is it...

In this week's episode we catch up again with TenSoon and our old pal Marsh... Not together. That would be a weird pairing. Still, nice to see old friends again. None of our podcast crew is particularly impressed with Elend's attempts at diplomacy this episode. On the other hand, opinions are a bit split on Elend and Vin's cute romantic moment. Also, Joe continues to have no respect for or interes...

We're back from our break and only a little bit rusty. But we do get to talk about Vin attending her first ball since that time that she killed Shan Elarial, and my, oh my, how our little girl has grown up. The epigraphs continue to shed light on the behind-the-scenes goings-on, as some things become clearer and some things maybe become a bit murkier. I'm also in fine form as you beloved (yes, I s...

In this episode, Spook continues to get no pity, particularly from Joe, but if you weren't expecting that by this point you probably haven't been paying close enough attention. In the meantime, Dac is outraged by a new character's name and everyone lives in dread of Allrianne appearing like a jack-in-the-box at the mention that a dress is needed. And then there are the tangents. Great Kelsier's Gh...

We've made it to Fadrex city. What a trek, huh? Honestly, after 2 books cooped up in Luthadel, I think our Sanderlanche crew is just glad to be out and about breathing the clean, well, ash-filled, air of the empire. There's plots, plans, maybe even a scheme or two as Elend and co get ready to lay siege to Fadrex. Meanwhile, we get a flashback to the much-anticipated Spook origin story. Just like S...

In this episode Spook is not good at flirting. Also he is visited by the ghost of Kelsier, who we decide must be here to talk to him about copyright infringement. A survivor? There can be only one! We also find out that Sazed is a king or something? Maybe? King of the sheep? King of the trolls? A clandestine land found underneath his floorboards?  Our crew isn't sure what to do with that one exact...

After Dac's demand last episode to know what has happened to Spook, the universe (and Mr. Sanderson) have decided to deliver. Spook is back, and he angstier than ever! Find out how the crew takes these new revelations in this week's episode of The Sanderlanche! The promised Discord link: https://discord.gg/EbtZjvWK2s

The Kandra chapters are really holding the crew's attention at this point. TenSoon takes the stand in the trial of the century ... probably ... maybe ... I mean, I don't know how many trials they hold back in the Kandra homeland. Maybe this one is boring by comparison. Doesn't seem super likely though. On top of that, though, Joe has been putting a lot of thought into this book, like a lot, creati...

This week our hosts are still riding the high of a new book with all sorts of exciting things happening. We get to look in on Sazed and Breeze as they politely strong-arm another kingdom into the fold, and TenSoon is on his way to trial. Everyone is more certain than ever that they know who is actually writing these epigraphs. Could they be right? Probably not, but I'm certainly not going to tell...

And here we are, beginning the final book of Mistborn Era 1. In this episode Joe is gleefully chowing down on tasty knowledge nuggets. Jaymee is reveling in what seems like it could be another successful bit of theorycrafting. And Dac is just happy to see Marsh and TenSoon again. Check out a very upbeat start to this final book on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche! New music for this book is...

The one where we get to the end of the book. We've reached the end of our second book on the show, and everyone has mixed feelings. Well, I say that, one of us has decidedly unmixed feelings of pure outrage. Find out who on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Vin returns, and the Sanderlanche rolls along bringing the battle of Luthadel to a conclusion that no one was really expecting, though a couple of our hosts aren't thrilled about how it all went down. We lost some friends. We lost some enemies. We made some enemies into Frenemies. It's a whole thing. Check it out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
