#CosmereSpoilers They often say that "money is power," but in the Cosmere, that can often be taken literally. In this episode of The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies, the hosts take a look at the various economies and currencies that Brandon Sanderson has developed for the Cosmere. Whether you're talking about burnable metals, stormlight stored in gemstones, or even exchanging Breaths, the economic structure of the Cosmere worlds are often tied to the magic systems on those worlds. Join Jordan, Bill, and Amy in this episode as we take a deeper look at the economic rules Brandon has put into place. ___ This episode's show notes can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PxqCXVrOpO7tsWxwlLlLZU7-2G5p-CZhlJD15S5v6P8/edit?usp=sharing ___ You can support The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies by becoming a Patron at http://www.patreon.com/cosmerestudies SICS patrons make the show possible and gain access to additional content and early access to bonus episodes. ___ You can email us your questions about the Cosmere at [email protected].

#CosmereSpoilers If you've read one or more of Brandon Sanderson's books, you're probably familiar with the way everything really starts coming together at the end. This has been termed by fans the "Brandon Avalanche," the "Sanderson Avalanche," or just the "Sanderlanche." (Warning: Venture into the Avalanche Zone near bedtime at your own risk!) Whatever you prefer to call it, though, there's no denying it's become a part of the Brandon Sanderson trademark style. In this episode, the SICS hosts get into a discussion about their experiences with the Avalanche, why they think it works, and which ones they've most enjoyed. So come with us! Just... try not to fall! ___ This episode's show notes can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vZ2w8l4r5H-Q7K7Ry_UNqPDkgV-Plm-5MIHs1T8ySKA/edit?usp=sharing ___ You can support The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies by becoming a Patron at http://www.patreon.com/cosmerestudies SICS patrons make the show possible and gain access to additional content and early access to bonus episodes. ___ You can email us your questions about the Cosmere at [email protected].

#CosmereSpoilers Should magic have rules or focus on wonder? According to Brandon Sanderson's First Law of Magic, both can work! According to Sanderson's First Law, the ability of an author's characters to solve problems with magic is DIRECTLY related to how well the readers understand the magic.

#CosmereSpoilers Discussing visual art in a mostly-audio podcast? What a great idea! The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies is back, and this time, we're taking a closer look (literally, this time) at the art in The Way of Kings. Shallan's Sketchbook, Navani's Notebook, historical reliefs and more, Brandon Sanderson and Team Dragonsteel put together an incredibly rich collection of images that really serve to bring the world of Roshar to life.

Bill, Amy, and Jordan are still on Roshar, wrapping up their discussion of Words of Radiance, Book 2 of Brandon Sanderson's epic saga, The Stormlight Archive. In this episode, they start digging into the interludes and all the side stories that are going on in the background of the main action. There's SO much to talk about, and we really only get a chance to scratch the surface! ___ This episode's show notes can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rwpoqpqRjoEGLBG9BBpjn2EEHhChNssXU8o5Sga1a1w/edit?usp=sharing ___ You can support The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies by becoming a Patron at http://www.patreon.com/cosmerestudies SICS patrons make the show possible and gain access to additional content and early access to bonus episodes. ___ You can email us your questions about the Cosmere at [email protected].
