Smiley's Podcast

A Malazan podcast where we ramble endlessly about vaguely Malazan-related things. Currently reading & podcasting through Fall of Light by Steven Erikson.

This is your final warning! Maybe.... But 24 hours from now we will be live streaming the end of Memories of Ice! Come hang out with us!

So, uh, it's been a minute. Anyway, here's our (long-awaited by both of us & ideally our audience) episode on Uncrowned which we recorded, ah, some time ago. We're not yet fully back, but there'll be more.

If you've been in the Malaz sphere long enough, you've probably heard the adage "Kallor did nothing wrong." What does that mean, and by what right do people say that? Find more below. (Spoilers MBotF)

@JangodGod @WilliamWight Cheers Jan :)

[Smiley's Podcast @podcast_smiley]

I finished Wintersteel today (incidentally, also my birthday, cheers & celebrations for me!) and I have to say.
I had my doubts, and now I feel like an apostate begging forgiveness from the great masters (@WilliamWight).
That ending was the shit.
Coming soon (ish).

After much deliberation (and indeed procrastrination) it was decided that it's high time the world got to see (or listen to) our discussion with the Critical Dragon himself. Ninety-odd minutes of narration talk.

@JangodGod @GreavesEc @BeardofDarkness @Mark__Lawrence Ravens. Always the ravens...
Bought the entire Broken Empire series on a whim & it's nothing if not immediately captivating. There's good reason why most of Lawrence's opening words (see also Red Sister) are quite so memorable.
Highly recommend (already!)

We're back after a somewhat long hiatus on Cradle (and an ongoing hiatus on Fall of Light that will, unfortunately, continue) with one question: How dare you, @WilliamWight, sir? (also animation hype!)

Happy New Years' Eve, everyone, and thank you for a wonderful 2023. We hope to serve you again next year. For a parting gift, we give you this - a Malaz trivia quiz (the first but ideally not the last of its kind).

Some time ago, I had a guest appearance over on Matt & Nate's Podcast of the Fallen for their wrap-up of Deadhouse Gates. Check it out!

And also give Matt & Nate a try!

This is, admittedly, a little later than our usual upload time, but Fall of Light Chapter 18 is up (and we hope that you heeded your reader instincts & found some patience). Andii debauchery, wee!

We are less than 200 plays/downloads away from 11k! We'd love to get there before the end of the year! If you're reading #malazan or @HCNewell1 Curse of the Fallen series think about check us out! We are 2 or 3 with HC goofs having fun talking about books!

[Smiley's Podcast @podcast_smiley]

No episode this week, alas; the last two months(!) have been hectic for both of us & we've not had a chance to record in... well, almost two months now. FoL 18 ought to come out next Sunday, so stay tuned; we'll be back shortly.
Many thanks to all of you for staying with us!

Because we can't have simple things in life, enjoy our discussion of Fall of Light 17, while we slowly descend into madness as the chapter gets weirder & weirder.
And yes, we must ever blame Draconus.

Well, it's somewhat late, and for this we apologise, but Fall of Light Chapter 16 is up on YouTube as well. Thanks for your patience!

Right, perhaps "within the hour" was a tad bit of hyperbole, but we're here now!
Honestly my analysis of this chapter was rather unnecessary because the first paragraph describes it perfectly. Childhood, innocence, sorrow.

YT coming soon.

Quick update: A hectic week led to me forgetting to upload the YouTube track for Fall of Light 16. It'll come out at some point either today - or tomorrow - but for the moment, enjoy the Spotify track - will be up within the hour - and forgive.

The second installment of "Lee incoherently babbles into the camera for 20 minutes" has arrived, this time talking about Kaminsod & unreliable narration, answering the all-important question: "Why is Kaminsod?"

Coming soon (probably on Thursday or so). I suppose it's an unofficial Part One of X in our eps on this fellow.

[Smiley's Podcast @podcast_smiley]

You want to hear Lee geek out over slag, forging, metallurgy, the difference between wrought & cast iron, steel, and the like?
No? Well, shit. That's what FoL 15 is all about.
