Let's try something different today. In this short episode, Craig is using his newly-found oodles of time to bring you a short, solo episode. Today's quick topic is whether we should read deeply or widely. Which is better? What does our preference say about us? It's a strange new format, let's see how we all feel about it!

The Legendarium - When does a book go from HOMAGE to THEFT?
play

06/04/21 • 15 min

Craig is flying solo again today (don't worry, we're recording a regular episode this weekend), and the topic at hand is literary homage vs outright theft. Where is the line? How should we go about thinking about books that some say are TOO directly tied to their inspirations?

The Legendarium - #372. Origins of the Wheel of Time
play

10/24/22 • 50 min

This is one of those books whose title tells you quite a bit. The book is Origins of The Wheel of Time: The Legends and Mythologies that Inspired Robert Jordan, and it's about...well, that! Craig sits down with the author, Michael Livingston, to scratch the surface of what's in the book, and eventually they take off their official interview hats to get down and nerdy about how much they love The Wheel of Time.

Pre-order (or order!) the book here
