The Sanderlanche Podcast

Joe and Jaymee both had something come up this week. So Dac and I put something together that will hopefully be entertaining to tide everyone over until we can get back into the book next week. Sorry and thanks for sticking with us!

Some interesting little magical tidbits here, and then a brutal fight. So basically everything we could ask for from a Sanderson book. See what theories are flying around on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

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 So if you're not familiar with Brandon's unpublished works, you too might just learn something new on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!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 Sanderlanc...

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 episod...

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.

This is it, people. We've finished the currently-released Mistborn books (just in time for the new one). It has been a heck of a ride, wild predigments, crazy twists, and a lot of fun. How does our crew feel about the wrap-up to this book? And what's coming next? Find out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche! PS. If you're listening to this episode the day it comes out, find Joe and I at Dra...

The whole crew is back together, and we're discussing what really feels like the end of the sanderlanche for this book. Wax returns from the dead, gets godly powers and defeats the villains. What's left? What indeed, but that's for next time. This week there's some very fun chapters, some discussion about Patron-exclusive content and the reveal of what will, potentially, be next for the show once...

We're back to Mistborn! Well, everyone except Jaymee who was a bit under the weather this week. The Sanderlanche is well and truly underway with surprise twists, sudden but inevitable betrayals, and even main character deaths? Bit of a wild ride on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

After missing a week, we're back with what will now be the final episode of Baby Break Deux! We're reading one of the first things Brandon ever wrote, the short story Centrifugal. Very interesting. Very weird, though not as weird as it might be if you read it backward I guess. Here's the link if you need to read it before listening to the episode: https://www.brandonsanderson.com/centrifugal/ Othe...

A fun, silly little short story for the second Baby Break episode.  I Hate Dragons: https://www.brandonsanderson.com/i-hate-dragons-extended-version/ And for the next episode: https://www.brandonsanderson.com/centrifugal/  

Joe is out for a few weeks to spend time with his new baby. This time around we thought we'd try to go a little more on-brand for Sanderlanche content. So we're reading new Sanderson stuff! I've picked out some stand-alone short stories and novellas we can read for a few weeks without Joe feeling like he's missing out on much. First up is Firstborn, the first sci-fi story Brandon ever published. E...

We've arrived at a mysterious temple high up in the mountains, and things are taking a decided Indiana Jones-esque turn in this book. Or The Golden Child? Maybe it's Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls. If there's a slinky scene next week I'm either all the way in or all the way out. Anyway, as we creep up on the end of the book, the crew is spinning some wonderful theories this week. Really deep stu...

We finally meet Telsin, and every person on our podcast crew is convinced she must be a secret bad guy. Are they right? Well, too soon to tell. Beyond that, we've got a firefight and a flying ship to contend with in these chapters. So see what everyone thinks of these developments on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

It's time to invade a ... warehouse. Ok, so that's not terribly dramatic sounding, but believe me, it's pretty intense. In these chapters our characters learn some interesting things about an eldritch device or two and then plan an infiltration. The podcast crew has mixed reactions. The chapters feel very much like setup, but what they're setting up also seems quite intriguing. So find out what ou...

Joe missed this episode but did send in a few thoughts that you can find inserted toward the end. Otherwise this is a wacky, action-packed entry. Explosions, romantic moonlight kisses, impalements, frame-ups, even an appearance by Old Iron Eyes himself (sorta). It was definitely a crazy ride on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Just about all our characters get their chance to shine in these chapters. Marasi, Wayne, and Steris all get some terrific moments for the crew to appreciate. There's even an appearance by our old friend the sexy drifter. So we'd be a very demanding group indeed if we didn't have some nice things to say on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

On this week's episode we arrive at New Seran and are treated to something out of a sketch comedy show. Seriously, Wax and co should take this act on the road. In addition to that, an interesting email has our whole crew reliving their acting accomplishments. It's something of a rare insight into the histories of our hosts on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

These chapters feature some very cute relationship moments and the train robbery that contributed heavily to the choice of song for this book. In addition, Steris just keeps climbing the ladder of favorite characters for the crew. See it happen again on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
