Podcasts about Oathbringer

Brooke and Tyler discuss the passionate one and their transition to Retribution with two of the Cosmere's most popular content creators. Stormlight Memes and CosmereJunkie join the conversation as we look at all the interludes that involve Odium in Wind and Truth. #AllSpoilers Follow Stormlight Memes on Insta (https://www.instagram.com/stormlightmemes/) Follow Stormlight Memes on Threads (https://www.threads.com/@stormlightmemes) And check out their alt account, HyperfixationHQ (https://www.threads.com/@hyperfixationhq) Follow CosmereJunkie on Insta (https://www.instagram.com/cosmere_junkie/) Follow CosmereJunkie on TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@cosmere_junkie?lang=en) Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

5 chapters and 5 interludes on this one. So a fair amount of text we're covering. The Mem and Sheler interludes in particular were big hits with the newbies. Meanwhile Adolin continues to impress despite being completely unprepared for what's going on. When the pressure is on, the real man shows through. Check it out on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

This episode starts out hot and goes from there. These were some significant chapters, and we're not even to the end of Part 3 yet. There's battle, death, not one, not two, but three unmade. Did I mention death? Yeah, there's a lot of that. It's intense. Find out how our crew is dealing with it all on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche.

Brooke and Tyler swap speculative theories about everyone's favorite Herdazian escape artist, re-live the horror in creating the Crystal Inquisitor, and munch on pancakes with an Awakener and an Edgedancer. The Interludes involving The Mink, Moash, Vasher & Lift seem like perfect fodder to be setting up significant characters in the back half of the Stormlight Archive. #AllSpoilers Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

Jaymee is out again, but things are starting to heat up as Kaladin helps defend the walls and Shallan makes it into the Revel. 

Jaymee is out this week, which is a shame because there's a pretty big moment in the flashbacks this time. We've all been waiting for this one. 

Brooke and Tyler are done hidin', now we're shinin' like we're born to be...talking about one of the most mystical group of voyagers in the Cosmere. We look at Dyel's interlude from Wind and Truth and investigate her visitors from the 17th Shard, the mighty Cusicesh, and the history of the Iriali's Long Trail. #AllSpoilers Warning: This episode contains minor spoilers about Isles of the Emberdark.

It's almost like a tease with these Dalinar flashbacks at this point. We know something is going to happen, but when?! Meanwhile, Kal is making friends with lighteyes? What is Roshare coming to? 

We meet an unexpected friend in Kholinar, to mixed reactions from our crew. And during email time another Moash discussion with a novel take on the debate. 

Brooke and Tyler hail the arrival of Emily Sanderson (!), Chief Operating Officer of Dragonsteel Books. We discuss the business practices and Dragonsteel's growth over the last decade, the Lightweaver Organization charity started by Emily and Brandon, and the logistical plans and challenges for this year's Dragonsteel Nexus 2025. There are no major spoilers discussed in the episode and it can be listened to by anyone. #NoSpoilers Link to learn more about the Lightweaver Foundation (https://www.lightweaverfoundation.org/) Link to Intentionally Blank Podcast Ep. 149 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=GmTEBZZXL6w) Dragonsteel Books (https://www.dragonsteelbooks.com/) Check out our website (https://cosmereconversations.com) Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

The whole crew is back this week for our arrival at Kholinar. It was quite the event, and there are thoughts. Despite several interesting revelations, Dalinar's chapter almost seems like an afterthought with how interesting our crew is finding the other story on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Jaymee is out again, but we've got some very interesting new stories happening in the interludes here. The one about Aimia in particular really got the crew's interest. They're wishing Brandon would write a whole short story dealing with that mystery. If only.

Brooke and Tyler read between the chapters for tidbits from the interludes. What can Kalak, Felt, El, Baxil and Axies teach us about the hidden secrets of the Cosmere? #AllSpoilers Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

We wrap up part 2 of Oathbringer with some interesting things to discuss, including the authors behind the letters in the epigraphs. Find out who sent them on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Brooke and Tyler hang out with the team behind the 2024 Worldhopper Ball and chat about the behind the scenes of the event and nerd out about the Cosmere. We cover the cast's acting backgrounds and love of all things Sanderson, how they get into character for the Ball, and what the event meant to all of them.

It's Dac's turn to be out this week, which is a shame because he missed out on some corking Moash perspectives. Ah well. 

Joe is out again this week, and I'm sorry because for some reason, Dac's audio ended up being a bit fuzzy in places. It didn't sound like that when we recorded, but the file did. Cleaned it up as best I could. Beyond that, a bit of interesting info popping up through these chapters, but for the most part they seemed like kind of positioning chapters, setting the stage for what's coming next. Hear what Dac and Jaymee thought about them on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Brooke and Tyler invite Lydia Suen, Lead Writer of the Cosmere RPG, and Lyla McBeath Fujiwara, Stonewalkers Adventure Book Lead, to discuss the digital release of the Cosmere RPG and the Stonewalkers campaign. We disucss Lydia and Lyla's path to becoming worldbuilders, the mechanics of the Cosmere RPG's Plotweaver System, and how the Stonewalkers campaign went from idea to full campaign.

Basically, some of our characters are really going through it this week. Shallan has ... well, Shallan problems. Like some of these things it's hard to imagine anyone but Shallan having to deal with. On the other hand, Teft has some really serious stuff happening, and the saddest part is, it's some very real stuff he's dealing with. And then there's Dalinar who has to deal with Lift, and we all know how tough that can be. See what the crew has to say about the tribulations on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Joe is out again this week, but we've got some big lore dumps to go over. When Brandon starts giving answers, he doesn't do it halfway. It's awesome! Also, here's the Worldswappers website I mention during the wrap-up. Check it out if you're going to DSNX25 and want to participate: https://worldswappers.com/

Brooke and Tyler finally take a chance at defining the most complicated being in the Cosmere. Is the Stormfather a spren, a cognitive shadow, the last remnant of a dying god, or something in between? Then we transition to explore what happens as one great power ends during Wind and Truth and another is born with the creation of the New Oathpact. #AllSpoilers Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

We are 4 once again, and just in time for a really interesting flashback and some killer character stuff on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Some big things happening as we go from the end of part 1 to the beginning of part 2, but also, our first batch of interludes. I'm afraid we're going to be killing a certain hope that our crew has been cherishing since the end of the last book.

Brooke and Tyler have their first return guest as Jen Neal ( Creative Development at Dragonsteel ) helps get a handle on what comes next for the Cosmere after the climactic ending of Wind and Truth. Together the trio looks at how Retribution will impact the ecology and characters on Roshar, the coming clash with Harmony, and how the true battle has only just begun. #AllSpoilers Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

We come face-to-face with one of the Unmade, and it's ... a trip. Joe's still on hiatus, but the rest of the crew has thoughts.

Joe is absent for a bit, but we and the characters are learning some interesting stuff. Shallan's reaction to who really killed her brother? Unexpected but maybe not really? And young Dalinar seems to actually have some character development? Will wonders never cease. 

Brooke and Tyler clash atop the tower of Urithiru to understand exactly what happened in the final chapters of Wind and Truth.We explore Dalinar's ascension, his conversation with Nohadon, the renunciation of oaths, and the birth of the Cosmere's greatest villain—Retribution. #AllSpoilers Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

This may be the last time for a while that we have the whole crew for the episode. So enjoy! It's time for Veil's big night on the town. 

Jaymee was sick this week, but we've got one of my personal favorite Dalinar flashbacks. The others ... well, there's not a lot of love for young Dalinar, but who can blame them, really?

Brooke and Tyler trap themselves in the depths of suffering with Ba-Ado-Mishram in order to learn about the Era of Solitude, the imprisonment of an Unmade, and the Recreance caused by the breaking of Honor. #AllSpoilers Katie Payne Artwork that you could win (https://www.patreon.com/posts/become-or-remain-127701309?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link) Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

Joe is back, but we lost Jaymee this week. Crazy. Anyway, this week features wrestling, politics, and swordsmanship, but absolutely NO MATING! 

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. Our conversation begins with a description of tone, melody, and rhythms before a crescendo of speculation about how we can apply our musical knowledge to the magic systems of the Cosmere. #AllSpoilers Follow Krishna Patel (https://www.instagram.com/thekryptidreader/) Follow Paul-chan (https://paul-chan.one/) Songs/clips that can be heard in this episode: Whitacre - Sleep (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw5gupbe9E0) Example of tritones (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQdCRy5bbX0) Saint-Saens - Danse Macabre (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbmT-I35k10) Gayatri Mantra from Battlestar Galactica (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4UPJv08c1k) Example of atonal music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD6XmKnLs8M) Sanskrit chanting (https://www.vimeo.com/49429193) Katie Payne Artwork that you could win (https://www.patreon.com/posts/become-or-remain-127701309?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link) Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

The good, the bad, and the omg no all mixed on this week's Sanderlanche. Stay tuned through the end for a special Joe appearance.

Joe is gone this week, but we've got a couple of interesting chapters here and some top tier digressions. 

Brooke and Tyler take a look at the biggest surprise of Wind and Truth and how the "fourth moon" of Roshar fits into the destruction of the Shattered Plains and leads directly to the Heralds breaking the Oathpact at Aharietiam. #AllSpoilers Katie Payne Artwork that you could win (https://www.patreon.com/posts/become-or-remain-127701309?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link) Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).

Kaladin's visit home takes on a very different tone from last time, and Dalinar has a meeting of his inner circle which is interrupted by yet another murder. Some interesting tidbits in this one for sure. Who killed this guy, and why did they stage it exactly like the previous murder? Find out the crew's theories on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

The whole crew is back, and Kaladin is back as well. He's home, and things are ... well, it's Hearthstone. 

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. Malinda ends with an absolute tour de force, TED talk-worthy explanation of how apps like Tik Tok, Reels, and Shorts encourage content creation to reflect their various algorithms. #AlmostAllSpoilers: Malinda was about halfway through Wind and Truth at the time of recording so we only discuss content up until that point in the story.

Brooke and Tyler are joined by long-time Cosmere contributor and Arcanist Jofwu to discuss cognitive shadows' origins and complexities.
