  • Episode 164: More of our Top 10?

    Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today Hobbes and Alex say congrats to Hipsters of the Coast on reaching 10 years of producing content... This celebration happened awhile ago... But us being us... we're a little late. Also the idea was to do a top 10  (which Alex and Hobbes did not tell each other anything about their lists) and of course we talked for almost two hours so this is ummmm the second half of our lists... but only kind of because we actually did 6 things last week...

    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. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

  • Episode 162: Impostors Are We

    Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! We wanted to let everyone know that September is Suicide Awareness/Prevention Month. As promised, we keep Mental Health Links available every episode. But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.

    On today's episode we have the triumphant return of Chase after too long of an absence. We are also joined by returning guest Reinhardt as the four Goblins attempt to tackle Impostor Syndrome. The cast previously discussed this topic way back in Episode 59 through the lens of Tiana. Alex and Hobbes felt that this topic needed a revist and more perspectives. Also giving Chase the reins means we get more tangential video clips to watch!

    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. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

  • Episode 161: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! We wanted to let everyone know that September is Suicide Awareness/Prevention Month. As promised, we keep Mental Health Links available every episode. But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.

    On today's episode Hobbes has to eat crow (not the literal bird but I mean maybe he should...). Over the past couple of years Hobbes has been known to rant about Squee and comments that Squee has been done dirty. Well with Dominaria United, our lovable friend Squee (and his toy) get their own story. We were fortunate enough to have Dan Sheehan (the writer of this storye and also the cohost of the Commander Sphere podcast) stop by and talk about the responsibility of creating the world around Squee.

But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families.

    On today's episode Hobbes is joined by Sheldon Menery the Godfather of EDH. As many may know Sheldon has been in a battle with cancer for going on 6 years. Hobbes and Sheldon discuss how this can affect his ability to engage in Magic, any changes in his relationship with the game and the community as well as the concept of legacy. We discuss acceptance and the concept of intentionality and engagement. Finally Sheldon encourages people to come to the RC Discord, the best place to find him these days.

    • Episode 155: Where does this Portal go?

      Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast!  Before we get to the episode we want to remind you of the Charity Event this weekend.


      Alex and returning guest Reinhardt Suarez talk about the fantasy story sub-genre of Portal Fantasy (stories that generally have their protagonist, and possibly others, travel to another worlds, usually from Earth, in some manner) , and how the stories of the 5 Origins Planeswalkers seem to have taken inspiration from it.
