From the fantasy epics of the Cosmere to the defunct mobile game companion books, Graham, Jack, and Taylor attempt to read every published work by Brandon Sanderson, in publication order. We hope to gain a better understanding of who he is as an author, how his writing changes over time, and his broader effect on the fantasy genre. Starting with Elantris and finishing half a decade from now, please join us as we travel out of the wardrobe, and onto the wagon train.

New episodes the second Tuesday of the month.

  • April Episode Delayed
    Apr 30 2025

    Hey folks, just to let everyone know there's going to be a slight delay for our Alloy of Law episode, it's all on me. Normally I'd be able to turn around an episode in a week's time, but several of my loved ones have needed lots of additional support on top of my day jobs and classwork. It's been a busy month for us all.

    What this means for y'all as listeners is that you'll get two episodes in May, one is a longer episode towards the beginning of the month and a shorter episode towards the end of the month. After that we'll be back to our normal schedule in June.

    This will be deleted once Episode 15 goes live.
