  • Somehow, Brandon Sanderson has done it AGAIN! He surprised us all once more with his latest (and currently running) Kickstarter campaign for the upcoming Stormlight... no... COSMERE tabletop role-playing game!

    That's right, what we thought was just an RPG based around The Stormlight Archive is actually a much larger RPG for the entire Cosmere! And we're thrilled to have Katie Payne, art director for the project, back on the podcast to chat with us all about it!

  • This is it! The end of our reread of the currently-published books in The Stormlight Archive! After this, it's build-up to Wind and Truth in December, and we're thrilled for it!

    The last time we read Rhythm of War, we devoted 6 episodes to it as we broke down each piece. This time, we're cramming it all into one so we can devote more time to the final book in the trilogy, so there's a lot to get through this time!

    So what are your thoughts on Rhythm of War? What do you think is coming as we wrap up the first arc of The Stormlight Archive? What does Brandon Sanderson have cooking in that brain of his? Leave us a comment and let us know!

  • Dawnshard is another example of Brandon's "shorter" work, and much like the rest of his "short" pieces, it's incredibly dense. There's a ton of character development, additional lore, answered questions and brand new mysteries! So what'd you think of it?

    Bill is out this week, but fortunately, Seth from The Cosmere Academy was willing to substitute teach! (A little "Institute/Academy" humor there...)

    In this episode, Jordan, Amy, and Seth continue the Stormlight reread and take another look at Oathbringer. (Seriously, how did I miss this one!? SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT!) So come along and listen to the discussion, then share your thoughts with us in the YouTube comments or at [email protected]!

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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!
