It's the ending of Memories of Ice, and you all know what that means... well maybe you don't so I won't put it in the description but suffice it to say it overshadows the entire episode and kinda sorta not really made Matt wanna quit the podcast. It's a fun time!
-
There are several big revelations and things are setting up for the climactic finish. But more importantly, we award Whiskeyjack People's "Sexiest Man of the Year" award and complain about the constant flood of sequels, prequels, reboots and remakes in Hollywood.
-
Missing episodes?
-
The Second Gathering happens, attended by wise Kruppe. We do some math, vote for Whiskeyjack for president (with Korlat as Vice President and First Lady of course), and gush over Itkovian because he's just so awesome.
-
Sorry about the long wait! Life has been crazy, but we're back with our longest episode yet. We see the Siege of Capustan (one of the greatest sequences ever written by the way), Quick Ben gets up to some hijinks, and we learn what catch-22 means.
-
The siege of Capustan begins! We also learn what the difference between a potion and an elixir is and learn some more about the ever enigmatic Kruppe. Oh, and the K'Chain Che'malle exposition dump is pretty cool too.
-
There's a lot that happens in these chapters! Paran, the Mhybe, and Toc are all depressed as hell lol. We also make fun of the US measurement system (as it deserves) and Erikson gives us the best romantic scene of the series so far!
-
This is a very weird episode! We recorded these two chapters a few weeks apart due to the holidays, and also Chapter 8 is not included! We had a discussion about that chapter over on D&J's Epic Quest because our Malazan journeys merged at that spot, so to get our thoughts on that chapter you can go over there and check them out! They've been going chapter by chapter through the series and are some seriously fun gents, and it was a blast talking with them.

We're finally to the incredible Chapter 5. We get a whole ton of information about the T'lan Imass, Caladan Brood, the Tiste Andii, and so on. We see a meeting between the Malazans and their enemy. We rejoin the illustrious and magnificent Kruppe. And if that weren't enough, in Chapter 6 we get the dinosaurs with swords for arms that were one of the selling points Nate used to get Matt to read Malazan.
-
Sorry about the month delay! Matt went on vacation, we had Christmas and New Year's, and Nate moved at the beginning of January. Join us for these chapters, as Matt basks in the glory of actually having exposition in a Malazan book. Those of you that have read the series before know how nice it is when things get explained.
-
This is quite possibly our most laughy (is that a word?) episode yet! Don't ask us why, but we laughed a lot in this one. Oh, and we also talked about one of the best prologues ever written and got a whole ton of exposition and info!
-
Lee, also known as u/Loleeeee on Reddit and one half of Smiley's Podcast, joins us for a discussion about Deadhouse Gates as a whole. Mora couldn't be here unfortunately due to other commitments. We discuss our favorite characters, moments, and themes of the book, and Lee shows us a glimpse of how knowledgeable he is about the series.
Go check out Smiley's Podcast wherever you get your podcasts! They've covered the Novels of the Malazan Empire and are currently working through the Kharkanas books.
-
Welcome to our shortest episode yet! People get nailed to trees, Mappo saves a couple dogs, and Coltaine is actually the dad from Elf?! Find out what that means on this, our final readthrough episode of Deadhouse Gates! We can't believe we're already here and want to thank everyone for listening to us, we already have a bigger audience than we ever thought we'd have!
-
Well, we're finally here... the ending of the Chain of Dogs is upon us. Nate compares Toblakai to Fezzik from The Princess Bride, we compare Icarium to the Hulk, and more. But mostly it's about the Chain of Dogs.
-
Icarium's past is revealed, Felisin slowly becomes Sha'ik Reborn, and Kalam has a side quest at sea. In addition, we make references to Star Wars, Phineas and Ferb, and Assassin's Creed.
-
Unfortunately Justin couldn't make it, but we had an awesome conversation with Derek. It ranged everywhere from favorite Malazan characters, book covers, adaptations, book buying habits, and more! Oh, and we did manage to talk a bit about Deadhouse Gates. If you haven't already, check out D&J's Epic Quest anywhere you get your podcasts!
-
Another major battle, a couple character deaths, and a couple long tangents that aren't related to Malazan at all. What, did you think we'd talk about Malazan when we market ourselves as a Malazan podcast? Don't be crazy ;)
-
Only two chapters this week. The warrens confuse Matt even more than they already have. Baudin's true identity and mission are revealed, and Heboric's hands get even weirder.
-
Felisin and the boat gang find a haunted ship and some T'lan Imass to go along with it. Duiker catches up to the army and witnesses Coltaine's first major battle with the Apocalypse armies, and Pust continues to annoy Matt.

-
The Whirlwind is upon us! Each of our characters experiences the start of the rebellion in these chapters and it's intense! Heboric touches something he shouldn't and Fiddler and company make a perilous journey across the desert as Duiker chases Coltaine.
-
This episode is a tough one, but also a fun one. Tough because we get introduced to Felisin's life in the mining camp and all the trauma and abuse around that. Fun because two of the biggest plot twists from the early books in the series take place in Chapter 5!! Gear up for what we feel is our best discussion yet.
