Stormlight Sessions Part 1, featuring Jordan | Janine Between The Lines #404

Author: Janine Jimenez March 30, 2025 Duration: 51:03

Coming in hot with a new episode with an awesome guest! Meet Jordan: fellow work colleague, born and raised Mainer, and avid ski and golf extraordinaire.

Jordan and I talk about many nerdy things and some offhand life topics, as well! When we finished recording this podcast, we had close to two hours worth of content that my poor computer could not handle, so this will be split into two separate parts. Part 1 gives you guys into our geeky origins and gives you a closer insight into Jordan as a person, and in the next episode, we dive deeper into debriefing what brought us to record in the first place: a reflection on the Stormlight Archive after reading Wind and Truth.

Wherever you are listening and watching, leave a comment and let us know how you liked this episode, and make sure you stay tuned for the next episode to hear more from Jordan and I!

Disclaimer: apologies in advance for any sound and video foibles in this episode, as this is the first time I've ever done this in an interview style!

Also let me know if you like videos like these, and I can plan on doing more of these in the future :)

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when you're curled up with a friend, a cup of coffee, and a head full of thoughts about the book you just finished or the odd little moment from your day that stuck with you. Janine Between the Lines: literature & lifestyle for leisure captures that feeling. Hosted by Janine Jimenez, this podcast feels like a series of those candid, meandering talks. As a Filipina-American, Janine brings a specific lens to the books she discusses, the current issues she unpacks, and those daily, somewhat trivial dilemmas we all ponder but rarely voice. The charm here is in the blend; a deep dive into a novel might seamlessly give way to a personal reflection on culture, society, or the small absurdities of modern life. She describes it as semi-entertaining and playfully warns that the whole endeavor might be a platform for connection or simply a verbal scapegoat-the possibilities are endless. What you'll hear is genuine and unscripted, a space where literature intersects with the realities of a multifaceted lifestyle. It’s less about formal analysis and more about where the lines between stories, identity, and everyday observations blur, creating a unique point of connection for listeners from all backgrounds. Tune in for a thoughtful, often witty, and always human take on the words we read and the world we navigate.
