177 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #159: Words of Radiance Revisited - "Jordan is the good one of us."

As the release of The Stormlight Archive Book 5: Wind and Truth draws ever closer, the SICS crew is continuing their reread of The Stormlight Archive to get ready for it!

In this episode, Jordan, Amy, and Bill take a look back at Words of Radiance and remember some of the highlights, as well as point out things that they've picked up on since our last discussion years ago. A lot's happened in the Cosmere since then, so we've got a lot more context to fill out the discussion!

176 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #158: Isles of the Emberdark Preview Chapters! - "If you have a seon, you technically have a Sel phone."

He's done it again!

Brandon Sanderson somehow keeps surprising us! Once again, this time as part of his crowdfunding campaign for the leatherbound editions of Words of Radiance, he surprised us once again by dropping yet another Secret Project: Isles of the Emberdark. And true to form, he's given us some preview chapters to whet our appetites. So join the hosts as we discuss these new chapters in anticipation of yet another book by Brandon Sanderson.

174 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #156: Medicine of the Cosmere - "Gaslight your body into healing itself."

There sure is a lot of talk about medicine, surgery, and other health-based stuff in the Cosmere, isn't there? In this episode, the SICS crew is joined by Roger, a trauma surgeon and longtime friend of the podcast!

In this episode, Roger discusses Brandon's depiction of medicine and the healing arts, both mundane and magical, in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere. It was great to have a subject matter expert's perspective give us a more informed view as we take a look at these characters and plotlines.

173 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #155: The Way of Kings Revisisted - "I like squishy scenes!"

Stormlight Book 5 is coming, and it's time to start getting ready!

In this episode, Amy, Jordan, and Bill go back to the beginning of The Stormlight Archive and revisit The Way of Kings. We last did a discussion of this full book in 2018, and we figured it was worth a revisit now that we've got a whooooole lot of additional context. We DEFINITELY go into deep spoiler territory beyond just the other Stormlight books, but it's a fun discussion, so join us and let us know what YOU think!

It's time for another of Wit's stories!

In this episode, the SICS hosts dive deep into the story of Mishim, the Clever Moon from Oathbringer, the third book in Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive. Is there a deeper meaning behind it? Or is this story different and nothing more than a mere story? (HA!)

169 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #151: "If you squeeze a Cryptic..." - Dragonsteel 2023 Announcements

We've already dedicated an entire episode to Dragonsteel 2023 (not counting the episode we recorded AT Dragonsteel this year!), but we've still only scratched the surface! In this episode, the SICS crew focus in on the announcements made at the end of the convention by Emily and Brandon Sanderson (and there were some BIG ones), as well as Brandon's closing remarks. (We'll get to the reading from Stormlight 5 he did in a later episode, don't you worry.)

Seriously, though. Some of these announcements were huge.

163 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #145: "It was a little bit cursed." - Dawnshard Reread

Didn't we just barely discuss the journey of the Wandersail? Oh, wait, that was the other Wandersail!

In this week's episode, the SICS crew return to Dawnshard to give it some more time (because last time, there was so much going on that they didn't have time to give the book its due). There's a lot going on in this shorter Sanderson work, so let's get to it!

161 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #143: Katie Payne Interview - "A self-proclaimed lightweaver"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in the eyes of the SICS crew, Katie Payne's art is beautiful! And we're very fortunate, because this week, we got to interview her!

Katie is the talented artist behind the Secret Project bookmarks and a huge fan of the Cosmere. So join us for this interview where we ask her about her connections to the Cosmere and Dragonsteel, her favorite aspects of Brandon's work, and all-around geekery. (And there's even a few brief cameos from her adorable pets!)

Follow Katie on her instagram at https://www.instagram.com/artofkatiepayne or on her website at http://www.katiepayne.com.

Food, glorious food! The SICS crew has rolled up their sleeves and attempted to cook a couple of recipes from the home planet of Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive. The recipes we used came from a series of articles that Tor posted, which you can find here:

NOTICE: We had some technical difficulties recording this episode, and we ended up having to rely on our backup recording. That recording is, unfortunately, lower quality, so some of the audio levels and quality are a bit off. We hope you still enjoy the discussion, though!

Story time! Specifically, we're discussing another one of Wit's stories: "Fleet." This is a fun one, and it has some great deeper meanings and messages in it. We hope you enjoy our conversation, because we certainly did!

156 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #138: "Russian Nightmare Ballet" - Cosmere Covers Tier List

This is an interesting one.

In this week's episode, the SICS crew take a look at the cover art of all the books in the Cosmere and place them on a tier list. Which covers will be ranked as crem? And which will be held up as the Shard Tier? And why does Hugh Jackman keep coming up in this discussion?

It's been about three years since the Knights Radiant Order Quiz was released, and we thought it might be a good idea to take them again alongside our listeners and see if anything has changed. And the results were interesting! Some things changed, some stayed exactly the same, and some results were completely unexpected! Have you retaken it? Did you take it the first time?

Yes, we realize we've already done an episode about the correspondence between Hoid and Harmony. But since the release of The Lost Metal, the final entry into Era 2 of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series, some of that correspondence may ring a little bit differently. Join Bill, Amy, and Jordan as they talk and theorize about what little nuggets could potentially be gleaned in this new context.

Also, make sure to take (or retake) the Knights Radiant Quiz on Brandon's website and send us a brief email about how you feel about your results! You can find the quiz here: https://www.brandonsanderson.com/official-knights-radiant-order-quiz/

145 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #127: "The Salt-Tea Air" - Tress of the Emerald Sea, Part 1

Secret Project #1, aka Tress of the Emerald Sea, is out, and the SICS host are excited to talk about it! It's a buckswashling adventure on the high seas, full of romance, whimsy (with a lower-case W, so don't freak out, although how awesome would that be?), and juicy nuggets of Cosmere lore!

144 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #126: 2022 State of the Sanderson - "A full dog doesn't hunt."

It's the Year of Sanderson!

The State of the Sanderson has arrived, and The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies has lots to say about it!

Every year, typically on Koloss Head-Munching Day (which just coincidentally happens to fall on Brandon's birthday, December 19th), Brandon Sanderson releases the annual State of the Sanderson post. Over the years, it's grown into a large, greatly anticipated event for those in the Cosmere fan community. While it was delayed a few days as the Dragonsteel team got everything organized (because there was a lot to get organized!), it's now been released. So join Bill, Jordan, and Amy as they talk about Brandon's work over the past year, his plans for the next year, their speculations on some of the things Brandon is still keeping under wraps, and yes, we do devote a good portion of time to the whole audiobook situation. You know the one we're talking about.

A lot of you may be looking forward to a discussion of Secret Project #1. So are we! We'll be talking about that one in just a couple weeks!

143 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #125: "Vin Diagram" - Happy Koloss Head-Munching Day/Happy Birthday, Brandon!

It's the most munchingest time of the year! Koloss Head-Munching Day comes but once a year, every December 19th, which also happens, by pure coincidence, to be the birthday of the man who started this whole crazy avalanche, Brandon Sanderson!

While the SICS crew were planning to discuss the 2022 State of the Sanderson, it has sadly been slightly delayed. So instead, we discussed the livestream Brandon held earlier in the evening to celebrate his birthday. He opened gifts and answered silly questions as he repeated his signature a ridiculous number of times, joined by his wife and Queen of Dragonsteel, Emily. We hope you enjoy this episode, where we take the opportunity to express our own appreciation and best wishes to our favorite author. Happy birthday, Brandon! Merry Koloss Head-Munching Day to all, and to all a good bite!

It's time! The release of The Lost Metal, the final book in Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Era 2, is imminent! In less than a week, we'll be at Dragonsteel 2022 and actually holding our copies in our hands! But first, we have to test our predictive mettle against each other and our returning guest host, Steve from the Read and Find Out YouTube channel!

Jordan says he's a scientist, but we think he's more like... a gameshow host.

Today is a bit of a different episode where we examine the effect of growing up in the shadow of giants through the lenses of Vin and Elhokar growing up under the shadows of Kelsier and Gavilar.

This video is a bit bare bones on the setup because Bill's computer has decided to overheat making editing in things like the outro and better audio. Once we get his computer back up and running, we'll get the better version up.

134 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #117: "Friendly Cremlings" - The Art of Rhythm of War

It's another art-based episode! (People listening to the audio version of the show should still be able to appreciate it, though.) In this episode, the SICS crew takes a look at all the different art in Book 4 of Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive: Rhythm of War. Seriously, the art in this thing is stunning!

132 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #115: The Duel. (Yes, THAT one.) - "There's no rule that says dogs can't fight in shard duels!"

Remember the time when there was that really epic duel in Words of Radiance? Yeah... that was awesome. In this episode, Jordan, Amy, and Bill talk about what many consider to be the most epic scene in the entire Cosmere. (Though there's definitely several other contenders for that title!) Honestly, we may not be able to do it justice... "but [we]'ll see what [we] can do."

Welcome to Threnody! The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies has taken a step away from Brandon's epically long works and is looking at one of his shorter pieces—and they're not alone!

Amy, Jordan, and Bill are back with another episode of The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies! This week, the SICS crew dives into The Well of Ascension! (Not literally—that would be a bad idea!) Join us as we take on the second installation of Brandon Sanderson's Acclaimed Mistborn series, discussing what happens AFTER you overthrow a thousand-year empire, and the affects that being an all-powerful, magical killing machine can have on a relationship. Also, how great would it be to be able to store up sleep when you've got insomnia and access it later when you need to be alert? So come along for another discussion of just what makes up Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere.

The SICS crew is back! This week, Bill and Amy (and Jordan, kind of) dive into Mistborn: The Final Empire. Unfortunately, due to some technical difficulties, Jordan's audio did not record, but we didn't want to just scrap the entire episode, so we've pulled together a version with Jordan's sections removed. We're working on recreating some of that audio, but in the meantime, enjoy at least part of our discussion about Scadrial, a crucial focal point in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe.

113 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #111: Legion - "NOT NOW, ALEXA!!!"

Although it's among Brandon Sanderson's shortest works, Legion is easily one of his most unusual—which is strange, because it's one of the only books he's written that take place on our version of Earth!

In this episode, the SICS hosts take a brief step away from the Cosmere in order to discuss Brandon's psychological (in more ways than one) thriller/television pilot. Plus, the latest audiobook in the series came out the day before this episode posted, so go check that out, too!

112 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #110: The Art of Words of Radiance - "Cursive on Steroids"

Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive is more than just the words on a page. He also included several pieces of art by incredible artists like Isaac Stewart, Ben McSweeney, and Dan dos Santos, all of which work together to fill out the world of Roshar and hide clues about things that are happening in the greater Cosmere. In this episode, the SICS hosts discuss this art and just what it all could mean.

Dragonsteel MiniCon 2021 is in the books, and the SICS crew had a blast! In this episode, Bill, Amy, and Jordan discuss what stood out to them. We met a lot of you listeners, and you were all amazing! Thanks to those who came by our booth, and if we didn't get to meet you this time, hopefully we'll meet you at a future convention!

Seriously, though. Brandon can write incredible books, and his team can apparently put on an amazing convention!

84 - Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #83: "A non-wizard at Math Hogwarts" - The Rithmatist

#CosmereSpoilers

Welcome to the United Isles of America! The SICS hosts have stepped away from the Cosmere for a moment to take a look at one of Brandon's Young Adult novels: The Rithmatist! Originally intended to be a Cosmere novel, Brandon Sanderson eventually decided that he didn't want Earth, even a weird alternate version, to be part of the Cosmere. Written after Brandon decided The Liar of Partinel wasn't quite working, The Rithmatist gave him exactly the fresh new playground he needed to get the creative gears turning again. So join the SICS crew as we talk about this gem (and the sequel we're still hoping for after so many years).
