51: Can You Just Add Some More Words?

Recorded December 11, 2021 For this episode, Nate and Ryan decided to wrap up and say farewell to 2021. To do so, they reflected on the past year, their accomplishments, and favorite things from a year that, in all honesty, could have treated the world a bit better. In doing so, they talk about everything from the best book they read to the best (and worst) drinks they had on the show. As they wrapped up the year, they also wrapped up a book series they had been working their way through this year—Mistborn. In their discussion of the final book, Hero of Ages, they talk about Nate's power of prediction, convenient solutions, and his desire for Sanderson to write longer books.
