A running bit, finally collected

Tyler's
Theory Corner.

Tyler has a habit of proposing outrageous theories about how the Cosmere actually works. Microorganisms. Dragons. Hoid's actual agenda. The stuff your book club would roll its eyes at. We've started collecting them.

This page is in progress. The real Theory Corners live in the audio — not in our show notes — so we're in the middle of combing the archive and flagging our favorites. Below are a few to start with. If you have a favorite Tyler theory we missed, tell us and we'll add it.

"We go off on wild theory tangents. Here is a whole episode of them."
