There’s Always Another Podcast

Part 3 is wasting zero time getting things into action. We've been waiting for Kaladin to make a major move forward, and he does - with, unfortunately, predictable results. Next episode - Chapter 36-Chapter 39 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Another whirlwind tour of Roshar as we hit our second batch of Interludes - we found the weirdest place on Roshar (it looks like earth), a weird little guy (seriously, what's his deal?), and Szeth - who is having a bad time. Also, welcome back to our podcast, Shallan! Next episode - Chapter 31-Chapter 35 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social...

Two emotional and significant chapters for Kaladin and Dalinar to wrap up Part 2, so naturally we spend a whole minute focused on a typo. Look, you're 66 episodes in, you know what you signed up for. Next episode - Interlude 4-Chapter 30 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

We're approaching the end of Part 2 here on Always Another Podcast - Kaladin is doing some work to get Bridge 4 on his side (we like that), and the Alethi nobility are doing some work to do what they've always been doing here (we don't like that). Next episode - Chapter 27-Chapter 28 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by...

You know what this story needed? Another plotline running in another place and time. Let's go see what's going on with Dalinar's visions. Also, what's up with these epigraphs? All this and more, starting right now (or at least, starting whenever you hit the button - I can't control that, this is just a text box). Next episode - Chapter 23-Chapter 26 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanoth...

We've got some Exciting Kaladin News in this week's episode of Always Another Podcast - he actually has a slightly better time! We are not currently taking bets on whether that will last. Next episode - Chapter 19-Chapter 22 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

2023's "Year of Sanderson" may have concluded, but we have, as we say, lots of book left in this book. In this week's episode, we get a good look into Alethi high society, and it's... not a great showing. Next episode - Chapter 16-Chapter 18 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Time for a whirlwind tour of Roshar before we get back to the goings-on on the Shattered Plains. This episode: "The Purelake is a nice place - also, who are those guys?", "The Davar family is Not Okay", "Szeth is Not Okay", and "Time to meet all of the Kholins" Next episode - Chapter 13-Chapter 15 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/o...

We're wrapping up Part 1 of The Way of Kings today, and it looks like our stage is starting to become set - Shallan has a plan with some noticeable question marks in the middle, and Kaladin has seen a light - might not be the light, but at least it's a light - in the future. Next episode - Interlude 1-Chapter 12 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind...

In today's episode, Kaladin is having a bad time, Shallan is learning all sorts of things about the world, and we talk about bridges and spren. As this podcast continues, this description will become more and more vague as to which episode it refers to. Next episode - Chapter 7-Chapter 11 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro musi...

Time to start a new book! And then start a new book again! And then start a new book one more time..? Yes, we've begun The Way of Kings and its multi-phase introductions. Welcome to Roshar - everything is crab.

There's Always Another Podcast is back, and we've acquired a tome. That's right, we're making our first foray into The Stormlight Archives! We've all been very excited about this one, so let's (almost) get right into it - this week, we've all got the book in front of us and we're taking a look at what we're getting ourselves into. Next episode - Prelude-Chapter 2 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagra...

Is it really that time again? It seems we've only just arrived. Yes, that's it - we've finished our first short-work in the Cosmere. It was a very different experience from our first four books, but oh boy was it a good one. Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Here we are with The Emperor's Soul! If you're here for all the drama and disagreement as we state contentious opinions on these books, you may want to give this one a pass - watch us all rapidly agree "this book is great". Next week - Day 58-Epilogue Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

We have a sampler-platter of an episode this week, because it's time to end a book and start a book. We've talked about Elantris for 12 weeks now, but did we... like it? Also, because Brandon still hasn't written that Elantris sequel, what's next? Next week - Prologue-Day 42 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing To...

It's time to start Part 3 of Elantris! It's time to end part 3 of Elantris! This is the part where, uh, everything happens. Strap in, folks, this is a doozy. Next week - Elantris wrap-up - Emperor's Soul intro Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

As we approach the end of a book, we start to see predictions come true, and that's always exciting. This episode's notable prediction: "please have fewer characters in this book". Uh oh. Next week - Chapter 55-Epilogue Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Complex characters are fun, right? It's interesting to discuss the intricacies of a character's beliefs and actions, and determine what we think of them in the end. I think we can all agree, though - don't serial-kill. That's bad. Next week - Chapters 46-54 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

So, uh. Is this the same book that we've been reading? There's some sort of murder-cult going on? Let's try to deal with this, if we can. Next week - Chapters 36-45 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Look, it's quite simple: Spirit, who is really Raoden (whose name means spirit) is in New Elantris (in Elantris) drawing the Aon Aon. Nothing to it. Next week - Chapters 28-35 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Y'know what, you don't get a descriptive newspost for today. I'm too distracted by an incredibly tense Cubs game. See you next week? Next week - Chapters 23-27 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Finally, we don't have 24 new characters to deal with. That means it's time to get way off the rails and talk about poorly-timed promotional campaigns - I mean it's time to buckle down and make some predictions on where this book is headed. Next week - Chapters 19-22 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

This week: some surprisingly early payoffs for plot predictions we had, as well as a section that we all actually agree we Don't Like. Next week - Chapters 16-18 Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

There are a lot of new characters in these chapters. To try to deal with this, we attempt to go on a small tangent. This goes about as well as you'd expect. Twitter: @alwaysnotherpod Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @alwaysanotherpod@kind.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Look, you don't need to name the sticks. This is definitely one of those colloquial phrases that everyone says, and not just a thing we spontaneously said during this episode.
