 #115. Fahrenheit 451 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:55:20

Craig, Todd, and Kenn resurrect our Heroes of Sci-fi series by diving into Ray Bradbury's classic dystopia, Fahrenheit 451. So get back in the high-school-english-class mindset. Or, if you're still in high school, just use this to pretend like you read the book.

 #114. The Great Hunt, part 1 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:01:25

The guys discuss Robert Jordan's The Great Hunt, in the first of two episodes on the book. Support us on Patreon

 #113. Fantastic Beasts & Doctor Strange | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:58:42

We tackle the November movies that most of you saw. First, we discuss Doctor Strange and rank the MCU movies so far. Then, at 39:45, we talk Fantastic Beasts. Unshockingly, Craig has some opinions that prove none-too-popular. At least not with Ryan. Support the show on Patreon.

 #112. The Eye of the World, part 2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:22:23

Part 2 of our discussion of The Eye of the World. Craig, Ryan, Kenn, and Kyle finally discuss more than just the prologue. This time we get around to talking about the setting, characters, and plot, plus a few frustrations. Like Part 1, this episode is missing a recap. Our apologies, we'll bring that back for the next Wheel of Time episode. Support the show on Patreon.

 #111. White Sand Review | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:51:55

NO SPOILERS, so listen away. Craig, Ryan, and Todd review White Sand, the only thing they've ever read with as many credited authors as Legendarium reviewers. White Sand is the first piece of Cosmere lore that isn't written by Sanderson himself, but rather a graphic novel adaptation of an unpublished manuscript. This is only part 1 of 3 of the story, so there's nothing to spoil yet.

 #110. The Eye of the World, part 1 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:03:14

Spoiler alert for The Eye of the World. Read first, then listen. Craig, Ryan, Kenn, and newcomer Kyle are ready to take on Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, and they start ... well, at the beginning. This was meant to be a discussion about the entire first book, but they didn't even make it past the first chapter. So there will be more EotW discussion later this month. Please support the show at Patreon.com/Legendarium.

 #109. Cosmere 101 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:04:16

Two things you need to know before you listen: (1) there is a general spoiler alert that comes into effect after about the 30-minute mark; and (2) Ryan, Craig, and Todd are about to try to distill a dozen concepts from the Cosmere into 60 minutes of discussion. They fail. But it's fun to hear them try! Support the show on Patreon.

 #108. The Magnificent Seven - Review(s) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:50:04

Who reviewed it best? Craig, Todd, and Kenn each review the new cowboy fantasy movie, The Magnificent Seven. You can vote for your favorite on our website or on twitter (@LegendariumPod). No spoilers. Well, spoilers, but this isn't really a spoiler kind of movie, so don't worry about it. Craig - 4:15 Todd - 8:20 Kenn - 12:30 Support the show on Patreon.

 #107. Words of Radiance, part 5 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:37:49

It’s our final Stormlight Archive podcast! It’s been an amazing ride, and we’re all super excited for the third book.

 #106. Words of Radiance, parts 3 & 4 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:27:24

The crew is all back for episode 2 of 3 in our Words of Radiance podcast series. There's a ton to discuss, and unfortunately we only get to a small part of it. Luckily there's one more episode to go after this. There is a MINOR SPOILER to Warbreaker in there somewhere. Listen at your own risk if you haven't read that one yet. But you should read it before this book anyway. HINT: The word of the day comes between the 50:00 and 60:00 marks. ***Please support the show at Patreon.com/Legendarium***

 #105. Words of Radiance, parts 1 & 2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:28:11

We take on just the first two parts of Words of Radiance in the first of three episodes on the book. SPOILERS for Mistborn: Secret History... Starts 25:05, ends 31:00; starts 1:19:14, ends 1:19:23 ***Important: We're kicking off a new giveaway on this episode. One thing we forgot to mention is that this giveaway is restricted to US listeners only. We know it sucks, and we're sorry. We'll make it up to all of our overseas listeners in the future.*** (HINT: The word of the day comes between 30:00 and 40:00.)

 #104. The Way of Kings, part 5 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:26:37

You asked, we answered: It's our longest episode to date. Craig, Ryan, Todd, Kenn, and newcomer Megan talk about The Way of Kings, part 5, and the book in its entirety. A few questions get answered, but mostly, we get a lot more questions to take us into Words of Radiance. Craig reveals the final word of the day. Tweet the completed phrase at us, @LegendariumPod. Please support the show with just a couple bucks on Patreon.

 #103. The Way of Kings, parts 3 & 4 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:16:36

The 2nd portion of our Way of Kings podcast discussion is made up of parts 3 & 4 of the book. Craig, Ryan, Kenn, and Todd, discuss their favorite scenes, characters, and quotes; what they'll take from the book so far; how many times they think they'll need to re-read; and give a huge thank-you to the listeners and supporters on Facebook, Reddit, and Patreon.
