Rand attempts to force destiny, Moiraine tries her hand at catfish noodling, and entire towns are getting married at once this week, but not before we continue our series on fantasy creature milking content! Has the Dragon actually been reborn? Will Rand learn not to leaving devastation in his wake? Will every chapter be a Perrin POV? Nobody can say, all the way up until the point where maybe we can.

In this one we talk growing power levels, creepy toilet men, and manage to offend all of our bovine listeners. Make sure to stick around to the end for the details of the hit new game show "Jarra" hosted by the dark one himself, Ba'alzamon!

It was not the beginning... but it is a beginning. The beginning of a new season, and the next installment in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time! We explore new acronyms, we rope in a guest, and we learn a whole lot about Whitecloak politics! Is this book all Perrin chapters? Is Rand doing a Jesus? Has Robert Jordan finally decided to show a little less than he tells? Some of these questions will be answered as we hop back on the wagon wheel and see where it takes us!

Join us as we wrap the second half of Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary on this one! We give our final thoughts on our pitiable protagonist, talk through what we thought could have been done better structurally and tonally, and discuss the very likely success of the upcoming Ryan Gosling adaptation.

Come get Weir-d with us as we talk through chapters 1-15 of Andy Weir's second follow up The Martian, Project Hail Mary, soon to be a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling! We explore what we like and dislike so far, the book's humor, Andy Weir's personality overlap in his writing, and the believability of the science that is portrayed. Was this book written explicitly with the idea that it would be adapted for the screen? Will there be any kind of immediate threat to our hero's mission in the second half? Will Ryan Gosling manage to make our incel protagonist charming? We probably don't have the answers, but we it won't stop us from talking through it!

There are neither beginnings nor endings in podcasting. Although you could probably determine exactly when we began fairly easily... and you would realize that this is the 50th episode of the Bridgeburners Book Club! We won't be able to satisfy your need for chapter chat this week, but we will leave you full of understandings! We discuss Star Wars naming conventions, write an insufferably self-referential jingle, and draft our own Malazan-style squads from a pool of some of your favorite characters in fantasy fiction. They said it couldn't be done, but here we are!

We selected three fun short stories to discuss today, and you absolutely don't need to read them to enjoy! We read RSA Garcia's adorable Nebula award-winning "Tantie Merle and the Farmhand 4200", Gene Wolfe's unique "How I got Three Zip Codes", and Alexander Weinstein's outrageous satire "The Pyramid and the Ass". Nope, not that ass, the other one. Come for the heartwarming story of a grandmother, a goat, and a robot, stay for the Dalai Lama's 9/11!
