Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today is a very special episode. As Alex points out, they are all special, but this one is a return to all three hosts being present!! Today the Goblins look at how big Magic Events have morphed and take a look in particular even in the growth of the last year (between Minneapolis and Vegas). We kind of recap Vegas and look at what went well and where there still could be some changes. We hope you all enjoy!

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