Ten Very Big Books - A Malazan Readthrough Podcast

Ten Very Big Books

India, Josh, Peter, and AJ are reading The Malazan Book of the Fallen. A bad idea? Maybe, but we'll at least have fun along the way. Peter has read the series before, but it's Josh, India, and AJ's first time. Join us, as we talk through each book and enjoy the works of Steven Erikson. read less

Ten Very Big Books - A Malazan Readthrough Podcast is fun as well as illuminating. It draws the interest of both serious fans of The Malazan Book of the Fallen series and newcomers. Canadian author Steven Erickson wrote the ten-volume series. Peter Bond, a devoted reader of the series, started the podcast in 2019. He brings his friends India Jones and Josh to the chat adding humor and invigorating discussion. The producer, AJ Fillari, is also a regular contributor to the show.

This podcast has an interesting focus. They dissect a book from the expansive series every two weeks. It's proof of their shared passion for Erikson’s creative universe. It feels like a relaxed chat among friends.

The podcast has a strong online footprint alongside the regular episodes. The community of listeners continues to have robust discussions. They've done so even after the finale. The show wrapped up in September 2023. The final episode ended on a festive note. The hosts reminisced about the series. They addressed many questions and speculated about the podcast's future. This closing episode captured the soul of Ten Very Big Books. It was a welcoming and insightful journey through an epic fantasy series.
