2025-12-17 06:38:22 +0000 UTCNo spoilers but prepare to have your heart wrenched out. Through your anus. By the books I mean.
Dave Davidson
2025-12-16 13:12:46 +0000 UTCSheβs one of your favourites and you just MISSED the liveship traders?? Like I donβt want to be some kind of elitist wank or anything, genuinely, but what did you read that made you go, oh boy this author is a favourite, but without touching on a pivotal series within their largest story? That is WILD to me.

2025-12-15 06:16:23 +0000 UTCUnfortunately... I really like the sound of these books and I'm going to have to read them now

2025-12-15 02:39:34 +0000 UTCI would legitimately buy a poster of that fucked picture board after all these special interest lectures.
Jessie
2025-12-14 23:21:51 +0000 UTCI used to be so obsessed with Robin Hobb books. Did not expect a crossover with Aunty Donna.
Michelle Goldsmith
2025-12-14 07:35:15 +0000 UTCSam trolls them so good I had to google the author after reading this comment, just to clarify that she exists, and to see if I was also being completely trolled.

2025-12-13 15:34:02 +0000 UTCBroden getting distracted by the footy pictures on the board is sending me π€£
Jaidyn
2025-12-12 22:59:18 +0000 UTCI'm convinced that these booklets don't exist and Sam fabricated all of this on the spot as a cheeky trick
Phill Davies
2025-12-12 18:14:11 +0000 UTCI definitely want to read these now - thanks for the episode and the spoiler warning.

Ross
2025-12-12 14:46:20 +0000 UTCSam can be happy in the knowledge that this video did genuinely convince me to start reading Robin Hobb
Sim Jyphilis
2025-12-12 14:39:14 +0000 UTCThis was unbearable
Pat Anthony
2025-12-12 13:43:38 +0000 UTCπΆ Serpents to the left of me, pirates to the right, sailing the cursed shores with you πΆ

2025-12-12 13:42:01 +0000 UTClook like good booklettes
David Bennett Black
2025-12-12 13:22:31 +0000 UTCiβve been hoping and praying for this. hobb is my favorite author and i remember sam mentioning her years ago!! almost scared to watchβ¦
Gay Karl Marx
2025-12-12 08:51:32 +0000 UTCI came on here to specifically say this too haha
Camille Rochester

Aunty Donna

Noah Pierce
2025-12-12 02:34:06 +0000 UTCThanks for the spoiler warning Sam, I've never read this series and now I want to!
David
2025-12-12 02:05:04 +0000 UTCPre-show predictions for when broden crashes out πππ. I say 12 minutes in
chatswithbob
2025-12-12 00:09:38 +0000 UTCI look forward to listening however if anyone says an unkind word about Malta I will lose my fucking mind. Malta is a goddess.
Dave Davidson
2025-12-12 00:08:14 +0000 UTCHoly shit, Peak fantasy explained he'll yeah
Patrick
2025-12-12 00:01:42 +0000 UTCSorry but did Donna know about the wizardwood from the liveship traders before they were struck by that wizards wood? is that part of the mystery?
xxSw4gl0rdxx
2025-12-11 23:58:48 +0000 UTCThe boys deserve to learn about the whole series. I look forward to the other 4 trilogy/quartet lectures Sam will surely give.
SinbadTheGenie
2025-12-11 23:54:33 +0000 UTCA fool's errand. But I'm in!
chatswithbob
2025-12-11 23:47:16 +0000 UTCI got lost 10 minutes in. I got that feeling of unease of someone so interested in one subject, and excited to explain it and myself having no input/idea what the hell they are talking about at all. Excellent stuff
Matt
2025-12-11 23:11:53 +0000 UTCSeeing Sam explain a fantasy series made me realize at some point we could see someone try to explain a sci fi series to Mish with SIQ. Please let that happenβ¦
Douglas Chen
2025-12-11 22:29:19 +0000 UTCI donβt know if Mark intentionally quoted arrested development, but I enjoyed it regardless. Bees?! Beads?!
Lee-Anne
2025-12-11 22:26:05 +0000 UTCOh my God, Robin Hobb is one of my favorites. Never got around to reading the Liveship Traders, but it's in my bookshelf.
YorickofJest
2025-12-11 22:11:54 +0000 UTCI knew I could count on Sam to come through with some fantasy bullshit. Also, I'm 100% jumping these to the top of my reading list. I can't believe I haven't heard of these before.

Aunty Donna
2025-12-11 21:21:43 +0000 UTCThere's a spoiler warning that comes up before Sam jumps into heavy spoiler territory. Just skip to the timecode marked and you'll be safe!
Aunty Donna
2025-12-11 21:21:06 +0000 UTCHell yes Sammy this is the good shit

2025-12-11 21:19:51 +0000 UTCHoly shit the madman actually did it!
Mitch Bayley
2025-12-11 21:16:31 +0000 UTCCongrats on the pregnancy Zach you're glowing
Sarah
2025-12-11 21:10:53 +0000 UTCLegitimate question, does this have significant spoilers for this series? Because if it's something Sam likes and I learn everything about it by watching, that would make me sad.
Danger Ferret
2025-12-11 21:10:44 +0000 UTCNog?
Dan Benjamin
2025-12-11 21:07:59 +0000 UTCNothing has ever been more in my wheelhouse, I'm so excited. Should have done all 16 books and really broken them.
Percy Percival
2025-12-11 21:07:38 +0000 UTCCongratulations on your pregnancy, Zach
Damon Reed
2025-12-11 21:07:17 +0000 UTCHeβs probably convulsing from waves of pure pleasure right now, someone should check on him
Dom W
2025-12-11 21:06:12 +0000 UTCWhereβs that guy who was complaining Sam hadnβt done a special interest quiz yet in post from Sam on Tuesday
