Goblin Lore Podcast

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast... kind of. We do not have a full new episode for you all this week but we do have a brief update from Alex. On top of updating you all on Mental Health Awareness Month and the plans we are finalizing Alex also took this opportunity to reiterate something the cast wants very clear: Trans Rights are Human Rights. In the face of increasing legislation aimed at attacking the rights of a vulnerable population the cast wanted to ensure that our position was and remains abundantly clear. See you all next week with a longer episode.

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!

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and welcome back to our special guest DeQuan Watson (one of the hosts of the Color of Magic podcast). In part one of a two part series Hobbes and DeQuan discuss Content Creation and the need for Intentionality and Marketing. When DeQuan met with the cast back in 2020 he had moved to full time content creation and continues in this role. We approached DeQuan after the SCG announcement cutting back on their competitive content in particular. While this is more of the focus of Pt 2 (sorry DeQuan hi-jacked the show!) today we look at ways for content creators to expand their audiences and improve their product!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! This week have an excited announcement related to a partnership with ZenCastr! We have been using them to record the cast and you can now get a discount (details below) if you want to use them for your podcast needs.

For today's topic we have dug deep for our lore and are returning to the Dark to discuss Jodah (who apparently was "chased" by "Goblins" and fell into some fountain giving him long life) and his Magical Mirror. This Mirror has had a lot of uses but most importantly in the early days of his long life it allowed Jodah to store his memories as a way to cope with the grief and despair that he experienced. This sets us up nicely to bring back up (thanks Chase!!) the topic of Coping Ahead from Dialectical Behavior Therapy!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! This week we are returning to Kamigawa to talk about Technology on the Plane. Inspired from the first meeting between Kaito and the Futurist Katsumasa and their discussion on who has access to technology Hobbes started to think about his own job as a therapist and how this has shifted with the rise of Teletherapy. The hosts' discussion ranges from simply access to these services to the pros and cons of both providing and receiving telehealth services!

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! And we are back with our 7th Episode Using The Color Pie to discuss one of our top 3 Topics (Food). With each episode we find ourselves refining our Color Pie Theory for Food/Cooking and today's episode will continue that "refinement". Today we take on the American Breakfast... This stemmed from a discussion of excess and Hobbes's belief that every food would basically include Black. Let us know what you think. Also Hobbes would like to apologize for the audio. Something was causing interference with his mic (which appears to be fixed) but this had already been recorded. We hope it does not detract too much...

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Back in Episode 109 and Episode 110 Alex and Hobbes were lucky enough to be able to discuss the Killian Lu story with Michelle and Ryan (fist time guest!). A lot of what was discussed then drew heavily from this video by Eugene Yang on Anti-Asian Hate and addressed concerns about the way the story had been told. At the end of those episodes Ryan had mentioned the rumors about the Return to Kamigawa.

Since then there had been apprehension. What would Kamigawa bring? How would it handle Asian Representation in a Cyberpunk World set in a futuristic Kamigawa. So we again reached out to Michelle and Ryan, and while we did this world building video dropped (please go watch if you haven't yet). Last week we covered the video, this week we need to dive a little deeper into the story. The Phyrexians are back in a clearer way than they were on Kaldheim, but we still don't know what is going on. And unfortunately this type of story is not something that Alex in particular enjoys (we cover why today). This leads us to an important discussion about what is coming (both in the story and perhaps with the cast.

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Taya is back with us!!! In case you missed she visited the cast way back in Episode 115. Hobbes and Alex previously took on Psychographics/Aesthetics when it comes to Magic Players and that episode introduced the concept of the hybrid Melvin/Vorthos player... the Melthos . Today we dive deeper into what this could mean with examples that we feel both hit and miss this aesthetic. Today's episode mentions a lot of works previously done especially by Mark Rosewater so we are including links to these .

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! This week's episode is a return to the topics of Resolutions and Goal Setting. The last time we talked about this was in January of 2020 (we were naive Goblins at the time) and Alex introduced Hobbes and Chase to a method for resolution setting. Around that time Alex had found an amazing Planning Journal and recently bought Hobbes a copy for the Holidays! In today's episode Alex takes Hobbes through it and we also look at how this method incorporates Mindfulness. Here's the link to the method and an online resource!
