Some great Brandon Sanderson podcasts to get to know
Coverage is thin and usually indirect. Brandon Sanderson tends to enter podcasts through discussion of particular books, fictional worlds, adaptation news, or comparisons with other fantasy writers. Only a few shows offer a useful route beyond a passing mention.
The dedicated fan route
Shardcast: The Brandon Sanderson Podcast is the clearest starting point. Interview with Brandon on Wind and Truth (and more!) comes closest to direct treatment, while Apple TV Cosmere Adaptation News! and Rhythm of War: Cosmere Implications | SpanReads turn the attention toward adaptations, continuity, and what developments might mean for invested readers. Expect rapid, insider conversation with little introductory hand-holding.
Following Nohadon: A Stormlight Podcast is similarly built for listeners already comfortable with the material. Its panel works through specifics in Wind & Truth Preview Chapters 12 & 13 | The Stormlight Archive, then widens into speculation and franchise discussion in The Apple TV+ Deal | Episode 295. Choose it for collective theory-building rather than a portrait of Sanderson himself.
Looser conversation
Intentionally Blank offers a more playful route. The Mistborn Movie Episode — Intentionally Blank EP. 249 suggests a focused adaptation discussion, while Two Brandons, Two Movies — Intentionally Blank Ep. 252 promises the show’s usual mix of comparison, riffing, and practical commentary.
Beyond those three, mentions are mostly incidental. Fantology is occupied with other writers and books in episodes such as #397 Dungeon Crawler Carl 4 & 5 by Matt Dinniman. The Legendarium likewise places any Sanderson references inside broader genre conversations such as #411. Talking SPACE OPERA with Sharon Lee & Steve Miller. Neither is a dependable destination for sustained coverage.
Where to start
Begin with Shardcast’s Interview with Brandon on Wind and Truth (and more!) for the most direct conversation. Try Following Nohadon’s Wind & Truth Preview Chapters 12 & 13 | The Stormlight Archive for detailed fan analysis, or Intentionally Blank’s The Mistborn Movie Episode — Intentionally Blank EP. 249 for something faster and less formal.
