Shardcast: The Brandon Sanderson Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Great podcast, I enjoy that they are opinionated, i do disagree on occasion but that’s part of the fun. The right amount of intelligence, with enough people to come on and bring some realism to it all. Show and tell on this audio only format is obnoxious especially when it takes 5-15 minutes. Keep up the great work!

Great mix of in depth discussion, fun goofs, and a great collection of information.

It’s a great show. Sometimes Eric is cringeworthy but I find myself arguing and engaged with the podcast. If you have plunged down the rabbit hole cosmere this is a great podcast. I listened to others and this is the only one that gets really detailed and takes the time to factually keep itself in check. The voices sometimes get a little grading.. except for Ian and Argent... voices like butter..

This podcast is amazing. If it was simply a bunch of nerds talking about lore, I would have never stayed with it for this long. But no they make the podcast awesome with their lax attitude toward things. I enjoy everything so much! Show and tell, Ben’s incapability to pronounce “Adonalsium”, David’s deadpan jokes, Eric’s laugh, everything about each episode is awesome. And who’s that cosmere character? My gosh it’s my favorite part. At the end of the episode I always hold my breath to see if it’s finally my turn. (That time came once and Ian got it on clue one) My favorite audio form of entertainment. I hope this podcast can go on for years to come

While I appreciate the depth of knowledge, information and perspective on all things cosmere. I find the normal cast of this Podcast to be extremely cynical of Brandon cosmere works. The pod is also way too long with adjacent discussions that go on tangents constantly complaining. The team clearly cares about the content, which is evident in the passion. I do not like how critical they’ve become of every small decision and story arch. The team also assumes the audience has a photographic memory of all published stories works, which makes it difficult to follow their banter and general narrative.

I love the cosmere so I was really hoping to find an interesting podcast that discusses the intricate details and connections that can be missed on a superficial read. Unfortunately, this just seems to be bashing the works. People don’t generally come to listen to a podcast for a book they don’t like. Please change your tune - more discussion of the books and subtle connections and less opinion. Theories and predictions are fun, negative comments about storyline just ruin the listening experience.
