In today's episode, I get covid, get better (spoilers), and learn some lessons from it.

Also, another chapter (or a teaser at least--read the full text at http://www.levijacobs.com/dragon-bard) of the Dragon Bard serial, plus some thoughts on why a show that starts with 22 minutes of a misogynist, racist loser, has been continued now for four seasons. I'm talking, of course, about Johnny Lawrence of Cobra Kai.

Not our usual podcast, but I just had way too many thoughts on this book not to share them. If you're interesting in writing or what makes good stories (and have read The Gathering Storm), I hope you find this interesting. In this podcast:
--How Sanderson took the chaos of Jordan's last few books and imposed order
--How and why that order is dang Satisfying to read
--What lessons we can draw from it about the bones of good storytelling
--Where it seems Sanderson may have eliminated elements of Jordan's series that he just couldn't work with, and why, and
--The few places where this book didn't work for me, and why.
Also, LOTS OF SPOILERS. Consider yourself warned.
I learned a lot from thinking through this book (that I first just enjoyed reading), and hope these distilled thoughts help you some too. I know they'll be shaping the next stories I write.
