Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast that AT LONG LAST is about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, hosted by Brigid & Clint. Episode 29 is a SPOILER FREE preview of The Faith of Beasts, the second novel in the series, due to be published in under a week!  

In this episode:

• We give an overview of the podcast's structure for new listeners and talk about some of the main theories we've developed so far. 
• We lay out our plan to gaslight everyone when TFOB proves those theories wrong. 
• Brigid wonders about the importance of religion in the story, and gives her illicit romantasy recommendations.
• Clint offers a theory about MacBeth and talks about why Ekur-Tklal is actually the universe's greatest hater.
• We compare and contrast how The Captive's War and the Expanse deal with the differences between story and plot.
• The plan for covering The Faith of Beasts is laid out in detail. 

Join us next time when we give our hot takes and first impressions of The Faith of Beasts. Follow the Mercy of Pods on social media at themercyofpods, or email us at [email protected]. Logo by Matt Howse. Music is Push The Button by Sid Luscious and the Pants. Read Brigid's stuff here.
