The Sanderlanche Podcast

In this episode, Vin attends her second ball and Kelsier has a night on the town. It's kind of like when other people have a night on the town, only with more corpses. Meanwhile, we talk about how open the Lord Ruler is to societal critiques, also possums, and finally Elend. Oh, this guy. Is Elend Venture a devious spy for the Lord Ruler or a hapless fool? Were his books evidence of a clever ruse or reckless overconfidence? Everyone has their own theory about it on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Turns out 4 chapters makes for a pretty long episode. In this episode we talk about Vin and Kelsier's invasion of Kredik Shaw, and the near-disastrous results. We also get theories about what it will look like if Vin ever meets Reen again, and Joe has an issue with the robot from the 80s Ninja Turtles cartoon. Why? Find out in this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

In these chapters, Vin attends her first ball in the guise of noblewoman Valette Renoux. Then she follows Kelsier out into the night and we finally learn what Atium does. Will Dac get his wish for a volcano metal? Listen and find out. Or read. You've probably already done that. Spoiler: It's not (or is it? [no, no it's not]). And we get down to the real questions of the series. What was the Deepness? Who is Vin's father, really? And is it actually ok to read a book at a party? Join us as we fail to come up with satisfactory answers to any of these questions on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!

Vin gets to see Breeze in action, and then discovers that the Inquisitors may be back on her trail. Meanwhile we discuss the moral pitfalls of emotional Allomancy as well as the disturbing implications of Aang's unilateral decisions about ruling authorities in the world of Avatar the Last Airbender. Where did that come from? I'm actually still not 100% sure.

Mistwraiths, Terrismen, and haircuts, oh my. We try out a couple of new things on the show's format, and narrowly avoid getting distracted by Final Fantasy.

We slow down a bit as the crew fills out the details of their plan, Vin gets her first lesson, and Dac is sure volcanoes are going to be involved somewhere, somehow.

Everybody gets what they want as an Ocean's 11 chapter is followed by a straight-up murderthon. 

Things start to come together faster than anyone anticipated, and Joe wants to know what everyone's Skaa underground name would be. After all, no one could actually be named "Breeze," right? Whose mom even does that? Intro and Outro music courtesy of Miracle of Sound.

Dac, Jaymee and Joe dive into Brandon Sanderson's writing for the first time, beginning with the prologue and Chapter 1 of The Final Empire.
