  <description>&lt;p&gt;That's right folks, we've got a new podcast. This time, we're sticking with one series: the Malazan Book of the Fallen. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you've never heard of it, it's a notoriously dense high fantasy series, but Mc and Danylo both love it. Their partners...well, we'll see. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We're releasing our introduction podcast and the first proper episode here on our Hardcover Hooligans feed, but to get the rest you can search 'Malazan Maniacs' wherever you get your podcasts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;INTRODUCING MALAZAN MANIACS&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We introduce ourselves, chat about Malazan generally, and talk about everyone’s experiences reading fantasy. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your hosts are Danylo and Mc from the Hardcover Hooligans podcast, plus their significant others Shelby and Sarah, who they’ve somehow convinced to do this. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Links:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
We’ll be using this guide during our re-through. It’s a great resource for first-time readers. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thanks for listening!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
If you like the show, please leave us a review or a comment! We love reading them. And, if they’re funny enough, we’ll read them on the show. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We also welcome corrections on lore and details (just don’t be a jerk). You can email us at &lt;a href="mailto:malazanmaniacs@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;malazanmaniacs@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;. We also accept compliments.  &lt;/p&gt;
