Shardcast: The Brandon Sanderson Podcast

This episode, we are digging into the lore of the demons and the Megalith from Fires of December. And... well, we sure go everywhere else in the cosmere, too. Get your bingo cards ready, because we don't even talk about the Megalith seal in this one. That'll be next time.

We have the classic crew today: Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), David (Windrunner), and Grace (thegatorgirl).
