Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #179: "Happy wife, happy knife." - 2024 Dragonsteel Nexus Recap!

It's the start of a new year, and we're going to kick things off with a look at the end of the last year. Specifically, we're going to give you our retrospective on the 2024 Dragonsteel Nexus!

The SICS crew has been attending Brandon's convention (originally called "Dragonsteel MiniCon," a name which it has now FAR outgrown) ever since its inception in 2021. But this year, we made the decision to go as regular attendees rather than having a booth. (Jordan and Amy did still participate as members of panels, though.) So have a listen as we give our impressions and talk about our experiences at the con!
