Have listened to almost every single one

Mark is great for doing this it gives insight most people take for granted, and it has taught me SO much about game design over the past years he’s done this. So much wisdom packed in, a little eclectic at times but you never fail to hear the passion he carries for the game. Magic has its great faults, but this podcast is one of magic’s wins, much like the color pie.

Thanks for everything mark.

Mark is amazing

Mark is so genuine, intelligent, and full of energy. i’ve listened to this podcast for years and just listening even after I stopped playing really makes me appreciate what goes into this product. The way, Mark approaches. It is such a science of creativity, even if you don’t play magic you could actually apply how he approaches this subject and create a similar process for things in your life that would benefit you.
