Weekly updates are always welcome great idea imo

You guys fill the perfect niche at least for me as someone who reads and doesn’t have anyone around that reads, just to listen to people talk about books I’ve read is wonderful

Weekly updates would be awesome from you guys - I love keeping up with creators through these types of update videos

This bouta be my workout companion today

We need a Brandon Sanderson of the music world. Record labels take 80% of everything I make and I only get a fraction of the 20% that is left over. It’s actually insane.

I would love weekly updates so I can now if shadow rising review is still coming

I like to think that as soon as Austin turns the camera off, he chains Richard to the chair and leaves him there until it’s time to film the next installment. Gives Richard plenty of time to complete his weekly molting process. Don’t worry, he leaves plenty of rotten fruit and fly traps so Richard can eat while he’s away.

Sanderson is effecting other authors! Ryan Cahill updates his readers as well! And he writes even faster than sanderson!

I just did a bit of a search on Jason Kehe, the author of the Wired article. According to his profile on the website, he hasn’t written for the magazine since the Sanderson one. He did six articles in 2022, one article in 2023 (the Sanderson one), and then nothing for what’s about to close in on a year. I’m not going to say that Wired was mad at him, but that’s interesting.

Would love the Mondy TBR reading update!

Planning to start mistborn. Please give a review of mistborn in this comment 😊

Yes please to the weekly updates. I definitely look forward to y’all’s posts!

It’s why a writers guild or union should happen . It would affect change on a wide scale and have a stronger impact than Sanderson alone. Strength in numbers

That would be cool to have weekly updates on books

Yes! Please do the short weekly reading updates!!

Yes keep us updated!

I feel the reading progress idea would be great for KZfaq shorts. Quick 30 sec. - 1 min videos. Perfect fit

Addendum: hyped to hear you guys are heading to Dragonsteel Con this year! Hope I’ll see you guys there while you’re on a panel or something

Daaaaangg Richie boi is leaning down 🎉good for you Richie keep going so you can continue to churn out content for me

I always love a good weekly update

Yes!! Weekly update short videos would be so cool!

Weekly updates please! That'd be cool, I'd watch

I WANT YOUR WEEKLY UPDATES YES I DO 🙏🙏🙏

A weekly update would be gas! Wouldn’t even need to be it’s own video, could just be a good opener to a Monday or Friday pod!

Loving the podcast guys - agree with your points about Sando, he’s the greatest! Would definitely welcome a Monday update! Go for it! - could always make them shorts too?

Really like the weekly update idea

The reverse order of The Bloodworn series in the background is driving me insane

"Hey, I would love to be invited, but if not..." *Sucks air through teeth*, "I'm, I'm gonna see him." "Yes, officer, these men right here."

I just started reading again recently, and not long after I found y’all channel. Now I’ve watched like 25 videos. Just wanted to say I really enjoy it and I like the weekly update idea.

I’ve been following his weekly updates for about a year now so when he says he has a new Secret Project, I was flabbergasted and just shocked. Also I would love it if you guys kept us updated on your reading and tbr.

Yes keep us updated on what you’re reading!

ok lowkey that party advise was amazing

The more vids the better especially from you two

I like the weekly update idea! Very excited for Dragonsteel and also reading deeper into the Cosmere!✨ currently on Warbreaker!

Can't wait to see y'all at Dragon Steel this year 🎉❤

Hell yeah to the weekly updates! Would love to hear about what you're reading/working on with your writing projects/or whats inspiring you that week. You guys are hilarious and make my little fantasy nerd heart so happy. Buzzing to be getting more content from you. P.S. Would be over the moon to see more author deep dives and to turn it into a series on your channel. Fellow agented writer here and as someone obsessed with craft, these are so interesting to watch/get inspired from. Thanks for making the world a better place guys. 😊

30:00 His professionalism and politeness while still engaging in popculture ist amazing. There ist a moment in one of his lectures, where he uses the casino-episode in Star Wars 8 as an example of inconsistent storytelling and why it doesn't really work, which...is fair. But then, instead of shitting in the movie to score browniepoints in the nerdspace, he adds, that its one of the most succesful movies of all time and Rian Johnson is a competent filmmaker and one has to accept that. Love the guy.

Love the update idea. want it

Weekly updates would be a fun idea!

I love the skyward series, it’s what got me into Brandon Sanderson in the first place and then I went onto read his other books while waiting for the other skyward books to come out. I feel like it really eased me into his writing style especially as I started it as a teen when I was reading more YA, through Sanderson (and some other books) I was able to then transition into new adult and adult fiction as I myself got older, and I don’t know if I would have gotten into mistborn or the stormlight archive without having read skyward

He is one of the best people.I have ever heard of. As an author he does so much for fans and always has. Some of the other authors who cant finish their series cant even be honest with their fanbase.

I would love weekly updates 🥰

Weekly updates would be awesome

weekly updates? i think that would be awesome!

Would love to see a short video with updates from you guys, mainly because i want to know how much longer Austin is going to be reading Wheel of Time :D

Please give weekly reading updates!!!

There’s this book podcast I really like called Book Reviews Kill where every Monday they talk about the books they’re reading about and how far they’re in and then they talk about fantasy news, movies they’ve watched, and just what’s going on in their lives. It would be great if y’all did something similar to that

16:44 100%. I’d be here for weekly updates.

I would watch the TBR or "currently reading" update! Great discussion, can't wait for Shadow Rising, or I hope it'll be a good review from Austin. But as many WoT fans have said, if you don't like it, we understand.

My merch came in, absolutely 🔥

Austin’s rizz is off the charts.

Please do the weekly updates

Now I’m thinking about going to Dragonsteel this year!

25:00 As a person who has currently read 4 sanderson books, and one of them was the frugal wizard's handbook for surviving medieval england... I feel the "no one really talks about it" sentiment. I really loved that book, but because it stands alone amongst the secret projects as non cosmere, it gets skipped over a lot. Now I think i'll have to try skyward soon. Space is cool.

Would be nice if you guys make some lives / vlogs from dragon-steel , i think many ppl would watch that :) Also weekly updates would be awesome.

It’ll be my first time attending the convention this year so I’m hyped. 2ToRamble Dragonsteel meetup?🧐

where do you get your brandon sanderson book ends? i love the mistborn book ends!

100% agree with you guys

weekly updates would be cool.

yeah you should read the other Cosmere Secret Projects. They are very easy to read.

The update idea is for sure a good one, I think doing a separate video could maybe pay more ? So maybe do that

Couldn’t get the leatherbound, but I supported the secret project tier.

Ill be at dragonsteel. You should do a meet and greet.

Its amazing how much better Richard looks now conpsred to the first podcast. Hes lost so much weight and beard looks a lot better shorter. Props to him

Random question. I need to know why you don't have the rise of endymion in the background. you have the first three but not that one. I'm just super curious since I just finished endymion and about to buy rise of endymion

Are you going to the convention this year ? I need to be prepared cause im going ahhaha 🤪

WoT review has been 100% promised for this month of March. Fantastic

Brandon Sanderson, a Bondsmith of writing!

I thought it was a bit rank of audible...when you read for example way of kings then look at books in series it comes up with edge dance and dawn shard.. so you spend a credit on each one...later on to spend a credit on secret history and find out those two books are in there...just a bit sneaky/sly of audible I think...

Am I part funding your Sanderson addiction by being a patron? Smh 😂 Please do update videos! I’d love that, I’m always curious with what you both are reading.

Dang, where did ya'll get those Stormlight Archive Bookends?

The term at minute 34 he's looking for. Not "critics", but "reviewers".

Wheel of time #4 please? Day 1 of asking

Yes please, tell us how far of are you with The Shadow rising?

Give us your reading updates!

That Brandon Sanderson is Your God article still kills me. You guys should do an episode on the snobbishly critical response that Tolkien got back in the day when LotR got popular in the US. Special spotlight on the scathing review from Edmund Wilson just for it's amazing title: "Ooo, Those Awful Orcs" 😂

you misspelled Steven Erikson :)

I’m in a weird place with Sanderson. While I absolutely recognize that he is in fact the GOAT in fantasy I haven’t personally fallen in love with his writing. I’ve read 5 of his books, the last being The Well of Ascension which I DNF’d. I plan to try The Way of Kings but if I feel the same about it as I have his other writings I’ll probably DNF Sanderson books all together.

Lol yall still messed it up😂😂 it was a picture of eiji aonuma (director of legend of zelda) instead of Eichiro Oda, not Akira Toriyama

HE’S THE GOAT

Nice

I'm excited to see what the new secret project is going to be! And I'm hoping you guys get Sando the Brando on your pod. All the points you made are great reasons why Sanderson is one of my favorite authors. I CANNOT WAIT for Wind and Truth! Please don't die, person I think is going to! Also, completely random, but could you lend me your critical psyche for this story idea? "In a world where technology and magic are at war, three broken wanderers journey across a hazardous wasteland to meet in a deadly confrontation where only one of them will gain their truest desire. Bratham is a Mystic, a warrior mage fighting on the front lines of the Spirit War, but when a warband of Advanced destroy his city and murder his family, he begins a quest for revenge. Nicori is the Guardian protector of an Advanced city, and he has always prided himself on how well he maintains his city's defenses. However, when he makes a critical error and his city pays a terrible price, he knows he must fibd a way to protect his city forever. When Ashiana joined the Advanced assassin's guild, she thought she would have to give up her Mystic abilities, but instead, they were used to make her a better killer. But now, after years of countless murders, Ashiana wishes to retire, but her employers refuse to give up an asset such as her. However, the answer to all of their problems may have made itself known. The catch is, only one of them can receive it. Revenge for the Mystic, protection for the Advanced city, or retirement for the assassin? The answer will be decided in blood...."

Yeah do the short videos

Why is Brandon so close to Daniel 34:39 Greene?

where the hell are the weekly reading updates

Mistborn era 2 has been weak compared to era 1 but I still love reading it simply because of Brando Sando lol

What kind of royalty to authors get from their book deals? In India, new authors earn as low as 8%. Single digit. Which means if my book sells for a total million dollars, I only get 80k. What's the standard in America?

Guys can you guys please read and talk about Wall of storms pls

I enjoyed Speaker for the Dead more than Ender's Game.

You are already on the same website as him, youtube!

I want to see if Audible applies the changes they talked about. They are not live yet afaik. I hope they didn't promise and not stick to it.

I’m sure it could just be a short so you don’t have to clog up your channel

Sanderson’s prose would benefit from basic writing instruction, like not using the same adjective twice in a single sentence.

You guys are gandalf a wizard is never late......

He is the goat becuz he published alot of books.From decent to godly

Um, Rumble is a decent alternative? And we should all join it, to fight against youtube's monopoly.

It’s pronounced Will Wig-git

Do You guys write books? Since you 19:04 talk about buissness - got me curious

My understanding. They caved so they wouldn't follow what happened to Apple in ref. to Epic Games and the EU.

…. I feel targeted by Austin. I was literally typing about the Shadow Rising 😶 (no pressure)
