Brooke and Tyler listen intently to guests Krishna Patel and Paul-chan as they teach us all about music theory and how Sanderson's stories blend different aspects into the magic and worlds.

Brooke and Tyler invite Tik Tok and Instagram content creator @that.cosmere.chick to discuss the current state of the apps, a Wind and Truth mini-mid-game, and the variance in creating short-form versus long-form content.
