Episode 154: Positively 4th Steet
Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore
Podcast! Today's episode is another a short talk about events and COVID
precautions as Alex talks with his friend Tim Niederriter
[http://www.timniederriter.com/] about their time at 4th Street Fantasy
convention, which held it's first in-person event since the outbreak of COVID
earlier this month. Alex and Tim also talk about the event itself, and why they
both are regular attendees of this convention. Tim is a guest we hope to have
back on in the future as he is a big fan of the lore!

The hosts went back through 4 years and 150 episodes and chose their Top 4. And

Episode 149: The Reflection of a Mirror Breaker with Mab the Queen
Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore
Podcast! Today we return with a Goblin Profile! But for this Goblin we are doing
things a little different. This Goblin is so amazing that they are going to be
getting 2 parts! The Goblin? Kiki-Jiki, the Mirror-Breaker. For part one we are
joined by the Queen (Mab the Queen [https://twitter.com/MabTheQueenMTG] that is)
to discuss a community that has embraced Kiki-Jiki. This specifically grew out
of the cEDH Community and the trans-femme community. Part 2 will be delving a
little deeper into the lore (though will have many call backs to this episode,
we don't want to give too much away, but we are really excited to feature this
Goblin as part of Pride Month).

Episode 148: What even is time? Cognitive Distortions
CW: Mental Health
Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore
Podcast! May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the plan is for all the
episodes this month to relate to important topics within Mental Health. We are
also participating (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and
attempting to raise money for MH Organizations!!
Today's episode is a little different. Hobbes is still recovering from the MH
Charity Event 2 Day Streaming Extravaganza (or something). He does a brief recap
of that before handing it over to Alex to discuss Cognitive Distortions/Common
Mistakes in Thinking. We discussed this way back in Episode 69 about Davriel's
"Entity" and May seemed like a good time to revisit, This article
[https://www.mindmypeelings.com/blog/cognitive-distortions] is used as the
jumping off point for discussion and can be a resource to learn more!

Episode 147: Let's Talk about Mental Health with Taya and Reinhardt
CW: Mental Health

episodes this month to relate to important topics within Mental Health. We are
also participating (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and
attempting to raise money for MH Organizations!!
For today's episode Alex and Hobbes are joined by returning guests Taya
[https://twitter.com/tayatranscends] and Reinhardt
[https://www.thereinhardtexperience.com/]! We wanted more perspectives to tackle
the topic of how to start conversations about Mental Health. With Stigma still
being a significant barrier (even for our Planeswalkers) we felt it was
important to put this out there. For story today we look to Elspeth and her Lost
Confession
[https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/uncharted-realms/lost-confession-2013-09-11]
and we also learn that there is fanfic out there about a therapist to the
Planeswalkers [https://archiveofourown.org/works/13668411/chapters/31396734]!

Awesome Show
Great show, great people, great friends!
Great MTG podcast
The Goblin Lore Podcast always delivers with great content related to MTG lore and how it relates to real world issues. They have great hosts and guests and are always worth a listen.
Gobbos for Life
What can I say about the Goblin Lore Podcast that hasn't already been said about the wheel, sliced bread or penicillin.....this is one of the greatest inventions ever. It makes me feel like I’m doing cocaine with Jeff Goldbloom while riding a velociraptor over the rainbow.
If you don’t listen to this podcast, you’re an idiot.
