    Ivy Insights

    The Intentionally Blank podcast is an absolute gem for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Dan Wells. As a reader of their works, such as everything Sanderson and Wells have written, including the Wheel of Time series, I found it incredibly entertaining to hear these talented authors go off on amusing tangents and share personal life stories. From Dan's tales of filming adaptations in the trenches to Brandon's anecdotes about actors getting into food heists, the podcast is filled with hilarious moments that make it an absolute delight to listen to.

    One of the best aspects of The Intentionally Blank podcast is the chemistry between Brandon and Dan. Their natural rapport shines through in their discussions, whether they're talking about pop culture or sharing insights into their creative processes. It's like listening to two friends having a conversation, and it makes the podcast feel light-hearted and enjoyable. I particularly appreciate how they combine critical analysis of art/media with dad humor, striking a great balance between insightful commentary and lighthearted banter.

    Another great aspect of the podcast is how relatable it makes Brandon and Dan as individuals. Through their discussions on pop culture and personal stories, listeners get a glimpse into who they are beyond just being authors. This humanizes them and makes them more accessible to the public. Whether you're an aspiring creative seeking mentorship or simply someone looking for entertaining content, this podcast delivers.

    However, like any podcast, The Intentionally Blank has its flaws. One potential drawback is that some episodes can go off on tangents that may not be interesting to all listeners. While it adds to the charm and spontaneity of the show, those who prefer more focused discussions may find themselves losing interest at times during these detours.

    In conclusion, The Intentionally Blank podcast is a must-listen for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Dan Wells alike. It offers a unique opportunity to hear these incredible authors engage in free-flowing conversations and share their perspectives on various topics. With its blend of humor, insight, and personal anecdotes, the podcast is a delightful escape that leaves you wanting more. Whether you're a fan of their works or simply looking for an entertaining podcast, The Intentionally Blank delivers in spades.
