Hi — we're Tyler and Brooke.

In early 2013, on an early date, Tyler handed Brooke a Sanderson novella called The Emperor's Soul. We pretty much never stopped that conversation — and in October 2017, we decided to turn it into a podcast.

This is pretty much our only qualification. We think it's a good one.

Nine years later, Cosmere Conversations remains two lovers of the Cosmere pulling on threads and seeing where they lead. Through five Shardworlds, a dozen magic systems, and whatever Brandon is writing next. Every episode is #AllSpoilers. On purpose.

This is a home for curious worldsingers — people who love these books enough to spend a commute theorizing with us. No gatekeeping. No test at the door. Start anywhere.

Tyler Shotwell

Tyler is one half of Cosmere Conversations. He plays on Shard of Opportunity, the Cosmere TTRPG actual-play, as a Player Character in the Canonwalkers campaign, and has been a Brotherwise Cosmere RPG playtester. He is available for hire as a Cosmere TTRPG Game Master for canon and homebrew campaigns.

Brooke Shotwell

Brooke is the other half. She reads Brandon Sanderson the way most people read the news — completely and with strong opinions. When she's not recording, she works in educational media.
