Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! What happens when your freedom of movement is taken away from you? Taya and Alex discuss the spark rupture, the pandemic, and implications for mental health on isolation. What’s in store for our favorite Planeswalkers now that they’ve been demoted to legendary creatures and what does the future of magic story look like?

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here.

We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources
