There’s Always Another Podcast

What's the weirder thing to find here in Shadesmar: "A person from a completely different book who has no apparent reason for being here", or "A city"? Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 97-Chapter 101 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

It's time to bravely continue on after last week's disaster. There's still politics to play and a whole new spooky eldritch location to explore. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 97-Chapter 101 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

We've hit an ending of sorts. Good thing there's more book in this book, because it was a bit of a rough one. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 88-Chapter 96 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Is it just me, or does it feel like we're about to hit what would be the ending of any other fantasy book? Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 83-Interlude 11 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

It's been looming in front of us, but we've now seen the events of Rathalas in Dalinar's past. Now what? Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 77-Chapter 82 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Kadalin and Shallan are both meeting (or re-meeting) some very interesting people here in Kholinar. Secrets abound - though some of them seem slightly more secret than others. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 72-Chapter 76 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

It's a mixed bag for Dalinar this week. On the plus side, diplomatic success. On the minus side, memories of terrible trauma? We'll see how it balances out. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 67-Chapter 71 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

This episode: slightly late. Our heroes on their trip to Kholinar: quite a bit earlier than we thought? Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 62-Chapter 66 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Cosmere pro tip: if someone tells you they're a god, make sure you ask which one. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 58-Chapter 61 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Good news - our flashbacks get to introduce us to the joys of fatherhood. Bad news - Dalinar isn't exactly making a great show of it, is he? Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 54-Interlude 6 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

When we said "Bridge Four" would make an appearance in this part, that invited some complex questions on who exactly that covers... Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 43-Chapter 48 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

This week: a pair of interesting looks at other characters getting to experience Dalinar's visions, a check-in on the very peculiar way that Shallan and Veil are handling things, and one brutal downer of a chapter. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 43-Chapter 48 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

A new part means new questions: Will Jasnah start treating Shallan differently? Why didn't Dalinar kill that kid? And who is writing these letters this time around? Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 38-Chapter 42 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Justin, Sam, and Caleb here today to discuss the big breaking news before it gets old, and we're... excited? Cautiously super-hyped? Oh please don't let this one screw up too. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 33-Chapter 37 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Can we skip all the way forward in the Hypothetical Cosmere Screen Adaptations so we can see "The Girl Who Looked Up"? Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 29-Interlude 3 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Every flashback we see, I sympathize more and more with the current world leaders of Roshar - "You want us to all trust this guy?" Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 25-Chapter 28 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Sometimes, when doing this podcast, we have to be very careful what words and names we actually use before we get to the relevant part of the book. And sometimes, the book itself helps us out with that - welcome back to the narrative, Evi - it's going so well in here. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 19-Chapter 24 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

As we wrap up another year of podcasts and head onwards to 2025, it's good to know we can rely on some things - the Blackthorn committing gratuitous amounts of violence, and Shallan solving her problems by making more Shallans Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 11-Chapter 15 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Yes yes, Kaladin has finally returned home and all that - let's go watch Adolin investigate a murder he committed. That sounds like it'll be much more fun. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 11-Chapter 15 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

As we kick off a Stormlight book, it's important to verify our checklist: yup, Gavilar is still dead. Next week - Oathbringer - Chapter 5-Chapter 10 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Next week - Edgedancer Chapter 15-Chapter 20 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Welcome back to Roshar, where - thanks to the fact that we're following Lift for a bit - we're actually having a pretty good time for once! Let's see just how long that can last, shall we? Next week - Edgedancer Chapter 8-Chapter 14 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

And with this week's episode, we'll finish up our whirlwind tour around the Cosmere in especially chaotic fashion. We'll start off with The Hope of Elantris but then cover just about everything else that's crossed our minds. Next week - Edgedancer Chapter 1-Chapter 7 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Back to our original stomping ground Scadrial this week for two very different looks at the world of Mistborn over the centuries. If I could figure out how to do a footnote in the newspost without horribly messing up the formatting, I'd do one here. Next week - The Hope of Elantris-Others Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

It's time for a spookumsreading this week - Always Another Podcast is trying a brilliant new concept called "reading the whole story" as we cover Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell Next week - The Eleventh Metal-Allomancer Jak Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Join us for some closing thoughts before Shadows of Self goes back onto our respective Sandershelves - and we prepare for a return to Arcanum Unbounded Next week - Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

You know all those books and movies where you say "this would all get fixed if they just talked to each other"? This section brings you "everything would get better if everyone here just got some sleep". Next week - Chapter 18-Chapter 21 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

So it turns out Brandon wrote another Secret Project. It'll be quite some time before Always Another Podcast gets to cover this one, but I figured I'd jump in this week and chat about what I thought. Definitely "quick thoughts" this time around - we'll be back next week for more Shadows of Self! Spoiler Warning: Isles of the Emberdark and all other Cosmere works Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

We have one very, very important fact to convey to you in this week's newspost: his name was Larskpur, not Larkspur. That is all. Next week - Chapter 14-Chapter 17 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Three episodes into this book, we've now finally learned all the facts that were contained on the back of the book. Next week - Chapter 11-Chapter 13 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

This is an interesting book to read in 2025. Next week - Chapter 7-Chapter 10 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

We don't waste any time, do we? Just a couple chapters in and bullets are flying, conspiracies are mounting, and a whole bunch of folks have turned up dead right off the bat. Next week - Chapter 4-Chapter 6 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Welcome back to "There's Always Another Podcast", etc, etc, you know the drill. We're back to Scadrial, and we haven't been away for nearly as long this time. Let's give some thoughts on what we think might be in store this time around. Next week - Prologue-Chapter 3 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

We've reached the point where our second Stormlight book can go back on the Sandershelf. Before that happens - what did we all think of it? Also, a minigame and a treatise - good luck guessing the topics of either. Next week - Shadows of Self pre-book Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Our journey has again reached its destination. After last week's climactic fight, we've got just enough time to tie up a few loose ends, right? Next week - Post-book Wrap-up Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

We've done 45 episodes about the Stormlight Archive thus far - but now at last, the Knights Radiant have returned. Next week - Chapter 87-Epilogue Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

This week, Fleet kept running, and the Everstorm arrives. Next week - Chapter 83-Chapter 86 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

From a sample size of one, Part 5 of a Stormlight book should be an epilogue of sorts, right? We shouldn't be, say, perched on the eve of an enormous battle? Hmm. Next week - Chapter 80-Chapter 82 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Yeah yeah, Kaladin and Shallan miraculously survived falling into a chasm right before a highstorm, that's old news - what did you say was going on with Taravangian? Next week - Chapter 76-Chapter 79 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

This late in the book, it's a bit surprising to have a chapter almost entirely focused around just two characters in just one place. We definitely won't be lacking for action and important things to learn, though. Next week - Chapter 73-Interlude 14 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

We know what everyone is looking forward to in this week's episode - that's right, an in-depth look at how storming often people are jogging in this book. Next week - Chapter 69-Chapter 72 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

This just in - Kaladin Stormblessed is still in prison. Back to you in the studio. Next week - Chapter 65-Chapter 68 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Aside from our usual check-in on Szeth (doing bad) and Eshonai (also doing bad), this week features an awesome interlude - by which I apparently mean one that is supernaturally slippery. Next week - Chapter 59-Chapter 64 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

"Honor is dead. But I'll see what I can do." Next week - Interlude 9-Interlude 11 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones

Isn't it interesting when we learn new connections between our characters? For example, now both Shallan and Kaladin have deeply-held reasons to hate Amaram. Isn't that fascinating? I'm sure that's exactly how it will play out, with no future issues. Next week - Chapter 55-Chapter 58 Instagram: alwaysanotherpod Mastodon: @[email protected] Bluesky: @alwaysanotherpod.bsky.social Intro/outro music by Mixing Tones
