The Magic Story Podcast

I used to read MTG stories to my kids at bedtime, but now they’re older—sadly, that time has passed. This podcast has been a great way to stay up on the lore, and I really appreciate the hosts’ enthusiasm for the stories and characters; it reminds me of my kids.

The hosts consistently tell inaccuracies in lore with so much confidence. Two examples off of the top of my head are: 1.) Karn accidentally created the Phyrexians. Which is a very bad retelling of what actually happened. - episode 27 2.) Urza built the Sylex. Which is obviously just an assumption stated as fact bc the Golgothian Sylex that Urza used at the end of the Brother’s War was found by Feldon. -episode 48 It’s very upsetting that an official WoTC podcast can have little to no oversight that this level of egregious misrepresentation of Magic lore is allowed to be released.

I’ve been listening to this podcast since MOM and have enjoyed that it changed from a recap show to a reading of the story and a recap show. I think the newest format of all stories and then a recap episode is fantastic and works really well. I hope y'all continue this forever! I do have one complaint though. I think this show needs someone to do a QC listen before episodes get posted. Every episode this season has a had what was supposed to be a retake but it wasn’t cut out. Some episodes had multiple instances. This has happened in past season and it’s usually once or twice per season but this go round it was every single episode. Keep up the great work and i look forward to hearing more from y’all!!

I just finished listening to the Bloomburrow content, and oh my paws, it is fantastic. Love the narration of the audiobook versions of the story, love the interviews, love the recap! And that person who complained about the hosts' voices should get their earbuds checked. I think they both have lovely voices!
