Episode 141: The Technology of Teletherapy

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

[https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/episode-1-stranger-eiganjo-2022-01-24]

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!

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co

coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more
