We have the announcement for Secret Project 5, and it's called Isles of the Emberdark, and oh boy... it sure is high cosmere connectivity! There's so much to discuss, so let's dig in. We also discuss the announcement itself, so feel free to skip to 30:52 for discussion of the chapters!

This episode we have a very special guest, Steve of the wonderful cosmere YouTube channel, ReadAndFindOut (https://www.youtube.com/c/ReadAndFindOutCosmere), which you should all check out because he does great explainers. It was lovely to have him on! We also have Eric (Chaos), Veronica (Cheyenne Sedai), Ene (Aon Ene), and Ala (Rasarr)!
