BRANDON MULL IN THE FLESH, Mull was my go to fantasy writer when i was a kid, to the day i still follow his series, to see both of my favorite authors throughout my life is quite an event HOLY
Thank you both for writing those "bridge" series. It is so wonderful to know where to turn for stories appropriate for my daughter whose reading level often outpaces age-appropriate content.
Mull was one of my favorite authors of my childhood and Sanderson is one of my favorites of today. It’s so cool listening to a conversation between the two!
I'm from Central California, and I knew at least three Brandons in just one of my elementary school classes! (But I'm a few years behind you, your moms must have been ahead of the trend!) I love Brandon M's correlation between the "end of adolescence" themes in his writing and the eternal nature and progression of the soul. Beautiful!
Hi, my mom edited Fablehaven at Shadow Mountain! I remember going to the release party for the fifth book and had a really good time, and now my wife and I go to the Sanderson release parties every year, so thank you both for having such memorable release parties!
I adored Fablehaven as a kid and it still holds up. Some of the best general vibes and monster designs out there. His Beyonders series is also excellent, with again, awesome creature designs.
Mr. Mull, I am proud to say I saw every one of your college Divine Comedy shows starting with "Lord of the Engagement Ring" up until I graduated. They were every bit as awesome as you describe. Coincidentally, I actually quoted your sister this morning when my child asked what the best foreign language speaking mission was. I told them "Norte Dakota, Spanish Speaking". It is fun to hear you talk about your career and life since college. Good luck with your writing!
Jim Butcher actually has a joke about that somewhere on his website for when people complain about his writing speed. Something along the lines of Brandon growing alien clones for him but that it will take a while before they're ready and until then he's not going to be churning out books
I've read a lot of both of your books, and love them all. My interest in writing has grown a lot because of you guys. I'm sure you hear that a lot. I think I saw Mull at the store once. I definitely met Sanderson at a signing.
Beyonders is one of my favorite fantasy series! It was the first time I’d found a fantasy world that didn’t rely on the standard races of elves, dwarves, etc.
Fablehaven was one of the first book series I read, and Beyonders is one of the most brilliant YA book series I’ve read. So glad to see him, excited to read more of his work in between Cosmere books 😂
Man, it’s been YEARS since I’ve read or thought about Fablehaven. I loved those books growing up, but for some reason I just never think of them when I think back on my reading journey of falling in love with fantasy (although they were undoubtedly an early part of it). Guess it might be time for a re-read!
The Candy Shop War is still one of my favorite fantasy books. Brandon Mull visited my elementary school in Utah and he’s the reason I got into Fantasy.
I just started a relisten of the cosmere in preparation for (Ko)WaT starting with elantris, and I'm glad it still holds up for me even with how different in some ways it is from the newer stuff
Mull trying his best not to outright say new DuckTales is better, but as a product of the original I can safely say... the new one is way better. David Tennant as scrooge along with the parental double-encoded jokes just elevates it.
Yeah it's a bummer. The Name of The Wind is one of my favorite books, used to follow Rothfuss' blog but quickly realized he's too distracted by a thousand other things instead of working diligently on book 3.
So, you're saying I was vacationing on O'ahu at very likely the same time as Brandon Sanderson?.... I even had this crazy daydream at the airport of randomly running into Brandon Sanderson, and thought it would be funny to have him sign the Joe Abercrombie book I had on me at the time... *sigh*.... maybe next time.
ok a few comments, I have read and love both your (Brandon^2) books pretty much since I found them in ~2008. on to important stuff Hawaii.. Kauai is my favorite and the Napoli coast is just amazing, Maui has the road to Hanna, which again is crazy its like Napoli but you drive it.. Oahu is just to many people, but Turtle bay is likely the best place to say on the whole island for me as well.. The Stormlight books are just massive I have the series in hardback and on Audible so in the ramp up to a release I can relisten to them.. Looking forward to next weeks.
As a literature grad student, the answer to Sanderson’s question about the western origins for myths of mutability in humans is found in Ovid’s metamorphoses book 15. There’s a whole long soliloquy in that book that lays out that thesis.
Cool. The furthest back I was prepared to vouch for was the 1001 Arabian Nights with its recurring element of bored immortal genies messing with mortals for entertainment (and a source of novelty).
My biggest regret was when me and my family visited Brandon Mull at his own house I got no signatures no pictures nothing. I didn’t really know who he was until like a year later.
Neither of them are from Utah, yet they have moved there, where there are the most Brandons. The Brandon's must be Connected to their homeland. Any other Brandon's out there feeling a tug on your soul in the general direction of Utah?
32:25 now here I thought you must be flying into Hilo, because every time I check the 2 bookstores in HNL they have 2/3 Cosmere books, but they arent signed
Yes! The "original cast" of Divine Comedy including Brandon Mull was amazing! This was before you had groups making it big on the internet and so it was not until a later Divine Comedy cast that their skits would become so popular the cast members could make a career out of it after collage.
7:00 Some kids shows these days are, honestly, ridiculously good. I've been meaning to check out the new Ducktales. I'm currently watching The Owl House and Gravity Falls and, my god, where were these when I was a kid??? The best we had was Batman TAS, and I'm not complaining about that, for sure, but there was a serious lack of actually smart and funny kids programming.
"where were these when I was a kid" They were being watched by other kids who are now adults making the new shows. You can also see the major anime influence in the current crop of stuff and know a lot of these folks came up on Sailor Moon and Tenchi.
Brandon S. how many words? Brandon M. 150,000 Brandon S. Wow that is a lot Brandon M's reaction, shut up... just shut man. meanwhile Brandon S. sat at the table signing 150,000 sheets of paper with his name
I kinda feel bad about my one time meeting Brandon Mull. I asked him to sign some books for my kids. Then for some reason I mentioned that was a fan of Sanderson, not Mull.
I was listening to this without watching and all I could think was "this Brandon sounds like nice Rick Sanchez". If they ever need a new guy to do the voice they should hire him.

Brandon mull was my fav author as a kid and Brandon Sanderson is my fav author now that I’m older.
Same FAM.
Same
Brandon mull still holds up today as an adult to be honest
Fable haven made my younger sister fall in love with fantasy and reading in general. I'll be forever thankful to Brandon mull for that
I love that Brandon Sanderson takes breaks from writing books by writing books
A podcast with two of my favorite authors is an excellent way to start today!
19:38 Bradon: "this is the last big one I have cooking, maybe my last new world, certainly, for a while, for sure" Brandon: "I got like thirty" the absolute mad lad
Two of my favorite Brandon's!! Fablehaven was one of the first series I fell in love with. Thank you both for giving us such wonderful entertainment.
P.s. we miss you Dan!
These two guys have kept me engaged with reading for almost 20 years now. So happy to see this.

“sounds like a headache to me” says the guy whose book launch party is a complete convention
BRANDON MULL IN THE FLESH, Mull was my go to fantasy writer when i was a kid, to the day i still follow his series, to see both of my favorite authors throughout my life is quite an event HOLY

Brandon Mull was in Divine Comedy?! Amazing. I loved that group! Also have really enjoyed his books.
He's a legend!
Mull was one of my favorite authors of my childhood and Sanderson is one of my favorites of today. It’s so cool listening to a conversation between the two!
The venom with which he spat “how’s that, Dan?” took me so off guard. Quality material.
good end plot twist :)
Reading Fablehaven for the 6th time but now as a bedtime story for my own kid. The realism of Seth and Kendra as children holds up fantastically.
31:30 Brandon's eyes of love for his son is so nice
I'm from Central California, and I knew at least three Brandons in just one of my elementary school classes! (But I'm a few years behind you, your moms must have been ahead of the trend!)
I love Brandon M's correlation between the "end of adolescence" themes in his writing and the eternal nature and progression of the soul. Beautiful!
Yay! My two favorite authors! I'm really looking forward to the continued conversation with Brandon and Brandon.
Fablehaven is one of my all time favorite series. Really impacted my love of reading as I grew up!!
Love when y’all work together. Mull introduced me to fantasy in 2006 and Sanderson brought me back in when I was finishing college. Eternally grateful
Hi, my mom edited Fablehaven at Shadow Mountain! I remember going to the release party for the fifth book and had a really good time, and now my wife and I go to the Sanderson release parties every year, so thank you both for having such memorable release parties!
My Brandon Mull books are literally right next to my Brandon Sanderson books on my bookshelf 😂
I adored Fablehaven as a kid and it still holds up. Some of the best general vibes and monster designs out there.
His Beyonders series is also excellent, with again, awesome creature designs.
Mr. Mull, I am proud to say I saw every one of your college Divine Comedy shows starting with "Lord of the Engagement Ring" up until I graduated. They were every bit as awesome as you describe. Coincidentally, I actually quoted your sister this morning when my child asked what the best foreign language speaking mission was. I told them "Norte Dakota, Spanish Speaking".
It is fun to hear you talk about your career and life since college. Good luck with your writing!
Do you ever wonder if Brandon cloned himself and that clone is currently writing?
Jim Butcher actually has a joke about that somewhere on his website for when people complain about his writing speed.
Something along the lines of Brandon growing alien clones for him but that it will take a while before they're ready and until then he's not going to be churning out books
no i never wondered that
I think he’s using his feet during recording sessions
No the original is writing. The clone is what you're currently watching.
Nah, he's just using his steel compounder.
I've read a lot of both of your books, and love them all. My interest in writing has grown a lot because of you guys. I'm sure you hear that a lot. I think I saw Mull at the store once. I definitely met Sanderson at a signing.
This reminds me I need to read some of Mull's books. They seem like very exciting and interesting fantasy stories!
I would highly recommend the Fablehaven series. Such a good series, although it is more leaned towards a younger audience. It's still a good read!
Beyonders is one of my favorite fantasy series! It was the first time I’d found a fantasy world that didn’t rely on the standard races of elves, dwarves, etc.
@@RealMythix we have all of those at my library I know!! Maybe after the Stormlight Archives reread I'm going through
I love Fablehaven and Beyonders.
The Five kingdoms series (sky raiders) is my personal favorite from his books!!! it has a slight connection to the Beyonders which i loveddd!
Fablehaven was one of the first book series I read, and Beyonders is one of the most brilliant YA book series I’ve read. So glad to see him, excited to read more of his work in between Cosmere books 😂
Love the Attack on Titan mention. Incredible show!
I own every single book by both these guys!
Man, it’s been YEARS since I’ve read or thought about Fablehaven. I loved those books growing up, but for some reason I just never think of them when I think back on my reading journey of falling in love with fantasy (although they were undoubtedly an early part of it).

The Candy Shop War is still one of my favorite fantasy books. Brandon Mull visited my elementary school in Utah and he’s the reason I got into Fantasy.
You should be writing another book right now Brandon.. Brandon you too. 😅 in all seriousness thank you both for so many great books!!
I love MULL!! Fablehaven is still in my top 10 of all time.
I had no idea Brandon Mull was in divine comedy!
Love the stories you both have "birthed" to the world. Also, you FINISH your series! (I'm looking at you Rotfuss!).
I have never seen the other Brandon before, and it was absolutely delightful.
Dan A-Brandoned Brandon!😂 Love Fablehaven and my son who hardly ever reads anything has read all of the Candyshop Wars books.
I just started a relisten of the cosmere in preparation for (Ko)WaT starting with elantris, and I'm glad it still holds up for me even with how different in some ways it is from the newer stuff
Idaho Falls as Provo of the north is so true. I can think of at least two Dallins i went to school with as a millennial...
As someone who lives in IF I completely agree
can't wait for part 2 of brandon 1 and brandon 2 !
Mull trying his best not to outright say new DuckTales is better, but as a product of the original I can safely say... the new one is way better. David Tennant as scrooge along with the parental double-encoded jokes just elevates it.
I’m excited for more with another one of my favorite authors!
Make more Rithmatist books!!!!!!! Please!!!! It was so fun
30 unwritten? You can do it, I believe in you!
I recently finished reading dragon watch 5 and loved it!
I hated Dragonwatch which was a shame since I loved Fablehaven.
great, now I have to get my cosmere books signed by Dan AND another Brandon
Beyonders is so underrated!
Awesome guest!
27:25 the great thing about the Stormlight archive vs kingkiller is; its next book will actually be released.
Yeah it's a bummer. The Name of The Wind is one of my favorite books, used to follow Rothfuss' blog but quickly realized he's too distracted by a thousand other things instead of working diligently on book 3.
We got Brandon^2 in the house.

Highlander vibes.
@@robwoodring9437 there can be only one (Brandon)
Brandon Mull, I'm begging you! Please write the sequel series to Beyonders! Please, my whole family is waiting
We have a lot of Brandons here in CO, we had 2 in my class in MS.
32:25 now here I thought you must be flying into Hilo, because every time I check the 2 bookstores in HNL they have 2/3 Cosmere books, but they arent signed
Wait, he started divine comedy? Isn't that where Studio C came from?
Nvm should have kept listening
Yes! The "original cast" of Divine Comedy including Brandon Mull was amazing! This was before you had groups making it big on the internet and so it was not until a later Divine Comedy cast that their skits would become so popular the cast members could make a career out of it after collage.
Sorry Sanderson-but Mull is my favorite Brandon.
My favorite living author!

You can also see the major anime influence in the current crop of stuff and know a lot of these folks came up on Sailor Moon and Tenchi.
I’ve never read his stuff I just like hearing him talk ab writing… 😅
Brandon Mull! Love Fablehaven and the Beyonders.. Dragonwatch.....eh no comment 😂
My two foundational authors? On a temporarily named podcast? Count me in!
Wasn't expecting to find the true origin of Dalinar

It would be pretty cool if you could update us on the words of radiance leather bounds
I really enjoyed Fablehaven and Beyonders
That was fun and informative. I looove demon slayer to😮😊
Mull's voice is very similar to Dan's so listening to the audio version almost didn't feel like anything was different. 😆
Brandon's glass has *almost* the same amount of ice that Brandon would have 😂
Adoooonalsium
We have Adonalsium at home
When are we gonna get the RithMatist 2 😃🙏🙏🙏
12:15 I prefer long books like Eragon. : /
BRANDON MULL AND SANDERSON WATCH ANIME??!!! AND LIKE DEMON SLAYER??!! This is awesome
CDA Shout out!
"I have like 30"... Me: "Hold up. Did he... no... he has *30* new *worlds* for which he *HAS OUTLINES ALREADY*!?!?!?!"
I'm surprisingly early. Hey you should reach out to wyrmwood about a custom prophesy table
Brandon S. how many words?
Brandon M. 150,000
Brandon S. Wow that is a lot
Brandon M's reaction, shut up... just shut man.
meanwhile Brandon S. sat at the table signing 150,000 sheets of paper with his name
It’s funny when they were talking about names my dads name is dallen and that’s also my middle name
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Michael Bay skibidi toilet movie
Yes. Utah has overdone the Brandon’s 😂
All this time I thought Dalin (Brandon's son's name) is from Dalinar 😂 but I'm wrong
I kinda feel bad about my one time meeting Brandon Mull. I asked him to sign some books for my kids. Then for some reason I mentioned that was a fan of Sanderson, not Mull.
What's it gonna take to get Patrick to let you finish the winds of winter series so we can get the ending
Where's Dan? Does anybody know?
Is that a plushie of Ranni the Witch? :D
25:30 #rithmatistForCosmere! #rithmatist2!
Mull and Sanderson together. This pleases me. My elementary->junior high author, and my junior high->university author.
I was listening to this without watching and all I could think was "this Brandon sounds like nice Rick Sanchez". If they ever need a new guy to do the voice they should hire him.
So you do in fact remember Rithmatist...
11 kids! How do you time left over to breath?
I've only heard fun things here...I need more sundry.
Wait, Dallin was named after an LDS Apostle? I legit for years thought you named your son after Dalinar
He has joked about having named Dallin after Dalinar, perhaps both are true. :)
Most likely the other way around and Dalinar comes from the same source.
Man i felt like this could have gone for hours ended so fast :(
7:05 - Yeah mostly, but Perrin 😢
