The Magic Story Podcast

I really enjoy both the audio book and discussion episodes for each magic story. I would love it if we could get older stories in between new sets as well!

Hope you guys are doing well, my name is Danny. One the best audiobook podcast I’ve ever listened to I have cerebral palsy, a condition that weakens , my muscles and I have to use a wheelchair to get around sometimes, but I start playing magic and I found out about characters like Duretti and Will, I finally realized that there were people like me and a card game like magic, you don’t see that in other forms of media. My favorite episode is episode four of Aetherdrift (to be honest, I can’t really remember what actual episode it was.) but I always remember what Duretti said: “ at least things can’t get any… Is that guy Weilding a chainsaw?” The only feedback I have is, check your subtitles, because sometimes it says the name, and sometimes it says something like instead of “Ajani” it says something like “AJohnny” it would be very helpful for those of us who rely on. Keep up the good work! Mardu and Marine Corps Strong! Horah!

Natalie and Harless do an excellent job covering the story content of Magic. My only complaint is the changing of the podcast format. The Phyrexian arc and shortly after, doing all of the story recaps, where the girls were telling their perspectives and flavor using some excerpts from the actual story, was excellent. Starting with Murders at Karlov Manor, the format changed to tell the audio story and then gave the recap, was pretty good. The recaps used more story quotes and were less original, but Natalie and Harless still did a great job. Bloomburrow is my wife’s favorite set, so when I asked if she wanted to hear the story, she was excited. However, we were disappointed to find the audiobooks and only one episode of recap that tried to condense the entire story into 45 minutes with very little of the trademark flavor and originality from the girls. I know you can’t please everyone, especially with something like a podcast, but I think it would be nice if we at least got an explanation on how and why things have changed (unless that type of a description is available on a different platform and not on the podcast directly). But overall, if you are curious or excited about the Magic story, this podcast is still a good resource.

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.
