Frank also shares where he's at with the books and why this feels like the perfect moment for the Cosmere to hit the screen.00:00 Apple's big Cosmere move: Mistborn films and a Stormlight Archive series00:16 The headline detail: Sanderson's rare creative control and approvals00:29 Quick beginner breakdown of Mistborn's core setup00:43 Quick beginner breakdown of The Stormlight Archive and The Way of Kings01:03 Why Apple's track record makes this adaptation feel promising01:19 Frank's reading plan and where to start if you're new01:32 Wrap-upApple TV+ is reportedly treating the Cosmere like a franchise-level investment, with Mistborn and Stormlight positioned as the first major screen projects.The standout detail is Sanderson's expected hands-on role across writing, producing, consulting, and approvals.Mistborn feels like a natural movie entry point because the core premise is clean, propulsive, and easy to pitch.Stormlight makes sense as prestige TV because of its scope, lore depth, and long-form storytelling potential.If you've been looking for a reason to finally start these books, this is a pretty good one.“Apple TV just made their Game of Thrones purchase.”“This is the biggest thing Apple has done in entertainment to date.”“He's going to be writing, producing, consulting, and final approval on these projects.”“This is your day.

We break down our top 5 most-listened episodes (and why the internet clearly loves a timely adaptation take), share our personal favorites (from book hangovers and games to big-topic conversations like banning books), and unpack the months that felt too rigid, too narrow, or just creatively exhausting.We also talk about how the book-to-screen world keeps accelerating—trailers, releases, streaming drops, and adaptations arriving so fast that staying locked into strict monthly themes can mean missing the exact conversations everyone's already having. So we're making a change: 2026 will be looser, more flexible, and more “let's talk about what's happening right now.”If you've been listening all year (thank you!), this episode is both a celebration and a reset—plus a little peek at what we're excited to cover next.

In the latest episode of Wise_N_Nerdy podcast, hosts Joe and Bob McGough kick off with their signature question of the week: "What is your favorite thing about the beach?" Amidst waves of nostalgia, Joe and Bob reminisce about their fond beach memories, from building sandcastles to soaking up the sun. However, they both agree on one thing – the eternal struggle of sand finding its way into every nook and cranny. With the roll of the dice, the duo dives into the "What do you think about...?" segment, delving into the depths of book to movie adaptations. From the triumphs to the travesties, they explore the spectrum of adaptations, from faithful renditions to cringe-worthy flops. The episode takes an interactive turn as they play thought-provoking Speakpipes from listeners CaseyJay and Devocite. Laughter ensues as they embark on a journey through gut-busting bad dad jokes contributed by Bob, CaseyJay, and Devocite. Transitioning seamlessly into the "How do I...?" segment, Bob and Joe offer insights into safeguarding computers from viruses, sharing valuable techniques and tools to keep digital domains secure. As fate would have it, the dice lead them to the "What are you Nerding out about?" segment. Bob delves into the intriguing world of a one-page RPG titled "Everyone is John," while Joe passionately discusses the captivating anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End." Wrapping up with the "Daddy tell me a story" segment, Bob spins a riveting tale about a daring encounter with a chaotic hitchhiker, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats until the very end. In this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, listeners are encouraged to "Find your FAMdom" as Joe and Bob seamlessly blend fatherhood with fandom, providing an engaging and insightful journey into the world of nerdy delights.
