About Us

Christopher and Kyle’s friendship began in an unexpected way. Kyle was dating a girl whose sister just so happened to be Christopher’s girlfriend. The two quickly hit it off and became best friends — so much so that they decided to marry the sisters, making them brother-in-laws for life! They bonded over their shared love of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series, making it a weekly tradition to call each other and dive into the chapters together. These conversations sparked the idea for this podcast, where we can now share our discussions and insights with you as we embark on our journey through Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere! Read on below to learn a little more about us!

Kyle:
I found my fantasy footing when my father introduced me to Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings films. I shortly thereafter devoured the books and opened my mind to fantasy films, novels, and video games.
