    The Common Tales — Ep 6: Field Recording: This Happened Today

    Not a story — this one just happened. A few hours ago Phil did something careless and paid for it, and Rurik patched him up with the good potion, the kind you save. Recorded the same night, still a little raw. The field-recording episode.

    The Common Tales — Ep 5: The Man With Two Chairs

    The day Phil met Lord Edwyn Cassel — a genuinely good man who liked him on sight, for no reason Phil could name, and never once produced the catch Phil kept waiting for. A story about being welcomed when you don't think you've earned it. Plus a song called 'The Chair by the Fire.'

    The Common Tales — Ep 4: The Day I Met the Bird

    The day Phil met Wren — a ranger who out-tracked him, out-shot him, corrected him to the name she chose, and has been everything-but-that to him ever since. A story about the people who get under your guard. Plus a song called 'Every Name But Yours.'

    The Common Tales — Ep 3: The First Time I Saw It Work

    The day a clay cup broke on a tavern floor, someone knelt to mend it with their hands, and the last thing Phil was sure about quietly stopped being true. A chemist runs out of explanations. Plus a song about the day the rules broke.

    The Common Tales — Ep 2: The Night Football Started a Bar Fight

    Phil tells the Cosset about the night he tried to explain college football to a room full of people who'd never heard of it — and watched a tavern come apart over a game that doesn't exist in this world. A comedy about tribalism, homesickness, and the parts of home you can't put down. Plus a fight song for a team nobody here will ever see.

    The Common Tales — Ep 1: The Night I Arrived

    Phil tells the Cosset about the night everything changed: a dive bar in Youngstown, a stranger in a t-shirt that said THE MAGIC IS REAL, and the argument he lost more completely than anything before or since. The first of the recordings he never meant for anyone to hear.
