Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #5: Mistborn - The Well of Ascension, Part 1, "The Horse's 'Iron Shod'"
Amy, Jordan, and Bill are back with another episode of The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies! This week, the SICS crew dives into The Well of Ascension! (Not literally—that would be a bad idea!) Join us as we take on the second installation of Brandon Sanderson's Acclaimed Mistborn series, discussing what happens AFTER you overthrow a thousand-year empire, and the affects that being an all-powerful, magical killing machine can have on a relationship. Also, how great would it be to be able to store up sleep when you've got insomnia and access it later when you need to be alert?

Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #3: Mistborn - The Final Empire, Part 1, "Jordan's Vow of Silence"
The SICS crew is back! This week, Bill and Amy (and Jordan, kind of) dive into Mistborn: The Final Empire. Unfortunately, due to some technical difficulties, Jordan's audio did not record, but we didn't want to just scrap the entire episode, so we've pulled together a version with Jordan's sections removed. We're working on recreating some of that audio, but in the meantime, enjoy at least part of our discussion about Scadrial, a crucial focal point in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe.
