Chat with Ian C. Esslemont and Steven Erikson

Steven Erikson (Malazan Book of the Fallen) and Ian C. Esslemont (Novels of the Malazan Empire), the co-creators of the Malazan setting and world, were kind enough to have a chat with me and we have a bit of a rambling discussion.
Unfortunately, Esslemont's internet connection wasn't particularly stable so this is a bit choppy. I have tried to edit out the majority of times Esslemont got dropped from the call or froze up.
Thank you very much to Erikson and Esslemont for agreeing to this.
