The Stone Sky: Part Two

A couple of mini warm ups get us taking about gadgets and books (10:15 to skip). Luke and Dan return with science talk! Get ready to hear about the worst kind of protesters and how the stone eaters may actually be the solution. Or at the very least a little bit too forward.

Special thanks to VOLO for the intro and outro music.

The Stone Sky: Part One

Luke attended a book festival and wants to tell you about it (7:25 to skip). If you're turning to stone, which parts go first? You know we're getting creative with it. Plus, Nassun develops a great new training method for future doctors.

The Obelisk Gate: Part Two

Dan's bringing us back to our roots with a super-specific rant about mundane life events (10:20 to skip). We finished the book for this episode so make sure you've read the whole thing before starting. Ok, now you can dive in and discuss with us who is allowed to initiate the cannibalism and who has to sit out that conversation.

Next week we're starting The Lost War by Justin Lee Anderson!

The Obelisk Gate: Part One

Luke and Dan are not very excited about one of these characters coming back, can you guess which one it is? Finally we get a name for a new segment on the show; introducing Creative Solutions with Luke and Dan. Luke also reigns in Dan before he tries to claim that all plants should have teeth (tbh they should tho). In a twist we are going to finish the book next week, so get reading!
