    Introducting: Wanderer’s Journal

    Introducting: Wanderer’s Journal

    Wanderer’s Journal is a fantasy fiction podcast about Marigold and Pluto, two people from different backgrounds, and their unlikely friendship formed through a magical journal that links them. Each of them finds a journal, learns that their voice is recorded into it, and can be both read and played back to the other. Unbeknownst to them, they become a part of an ancient mystery, and see the world from new angles.
    The center of the podcast is the growing connection between Marigold and Pluto, and the story that unfolds for each of them on their journey. The main themes are friendships in spite of distance, the way places change depending on who experiences them, and how circumstances shape people and the world.
    The show releases on April 23rd! Tal is the voice of Mairgold!

Comfy Fantasy

Exploring oneself is just as important as exploring the world around you, I think this podcast does brilliantly with that concept. There are many audio dramas out there that will give you high fantasy and dire quests and plots upon plots but sometimes you just need to relax with a quest as important as getting a cat out of a tree because that's just as meaningful as anything else.

Great comfort podcast!

I love this podcast, it’s cute and wholesome, as well as being really inclusive of all people. It’s also quite manageable in length. All around amazing podcast.

comfort podcast on the days my brain gets a little too serious

I love this podcast with all my heart. I randomly found it one day and I was hooked from there. It took me a long time to figure out I was ace and nonbinary and even after I figured it out I felt weird when people would ask me question trying to figure out who I liked or why I wasn’t dating someone. For a while I felt really messed up as person. Like genuinely thinking that I was the obscure broken person. I was lonely and felt isolated. I am a lot better now and I would like to thank Tal and all those who help with the creation of the stories told through this podcast because it made a big difference in how I saw myself. I just finished the most recent episode and I couldn’t help but smile the entire time. It just made me so happy to feel normal and understood. I hope that everyone enjoys this work of art as much as I do because it truly one of kind.
