What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve become an avid reader in my mid twenties after never really finishing a book. Brandon was the author that introduced my ADHD riddled brain to truly fantastical worlds and characters worth remembering. The discussions in this podcast are unserious, fun, and often give insight into why these authors are so amazing. They get me through my subway journey every day.

The episode with Brandon and Steve Argyle discussing the uses and dangers of AI was fantastic. It was a detailed, cohesive, and powerful warning about the problems of AI in the creative space. The best part was the ending, where Brandon and Steve gave the listeners some very grounded and realistic ideas about how new artists can rise above the rapidly growing tide of AI content creation. I actually finished listening feeling a sense of hope in the strength of human connection and experience!

This is one of my favorite podcasts!! One of my friends got me into Sanderson, and he’s my favorite author now, so I obviously had to check out his podcast and I do not regret checking it out!! They talk about absolutely nothing and it can be quite ridiculous, but it’s really fun and I love it!! Half the time they talk about food *cough* in the last episode they talked entirely about food heists and pretzels and food that falls on the floor or that you find in strange places, but it’s very addicting and Sanderson is my favorite author so of course I like it!! It’s also interesting to hear about how publishing works, how sales rise and fall, and how Sanderson started writing.

Quirky and (at times) wholesomely twisted, Dan and Brandon play off each other in endearing exchanges about the most unexpected topics, which they make downright interesting. They’re sincere in their friendship, and it feels as though they pull the listener into that camaraderie with them. I can’t stop listening!

Okay so I clicked on a podcast with an interesting subject matter, "Aliens Definitely Exist", but they spent 8 minutes on a 24 minute podcast with nonsensical banter that just went over my head before actually talking about the topic of the podcast. But I was fooled, they continued with nonsensical banter for 6 MORE minutes still not talking about the topic of the podcast. Then once finally talking about the topic it was inane, puerile drivel. Capybaras?? This podcast must appeal to some listeners but I am definitaly NOT one of them.

I adored this podcast, the insights they give towards writing and the craft is excellent, the breakdown of media is also very eye opening. However, all they talk about now is food and “food” heists. I’m just sick of hearing about food. As people get older it seems that’s the only thing they know how to talk about. It’s disgusting and I wish they could return to hosting an actual podcast.
