After a year and a half away, The Legendarium is back on the microphones. Craig is joined by Panda, Little Red Book, Kyptan, and Cesky from The Legendarium Green Team for a loose, question-driven reunion episode featuring recommendations, old podcast memories, friendship, burnout, favorite episodes, terrible reviews, crickets at Mariners games, and the fate of a never-to-be-released Wind and Truth episode. Along the way, the crew talks about how The Legendarium has shaped friendships over the years, books that were more fun to discuss than read, series they’ve changed their minds about, and some of the episodes they’re proudest to have made. And no, this isn’t goodbye. If you’ve missed the camaraderie and book discussions of The Legendarium, make sure you’re also listening to The Legendarium Green Team, where the conversation has very much continued.

The original Legendarium feed isn’t disappearing, and Episode 442 isn’t a farewell. What comes next may look a little different: occasional group episodes, Author’s Shelf conversations, solo episodes, or whatever else sounds interesting enough to get Craig back behind a microphone. Until next time.
