    375 - Story Circle: For Want of Ink by Paul B. Thompson

    The Story Circle reconvenes for one, special episode in honor of the truly most powerful wizard from Dominaria: Barrin. Before he was Barrin, though, he was Barrinalo, a young scribe whose life would be forever changed by the death of another wizard, Pharon. This story by Paul B. Thompson originally appeared in The Secrets of Magic anthology from 2002, edited by Jess Lebow. It is read by the incredible Christopher Wilson. We will return next week with regular episodes, but in the meantime we hope you enjoy this audio version of a beloved Magic story. If you'd like to support the show, we'd like that, too!

    371 - 2025 Year in Review

    2025 was one of the best years for Magic story ever, with huge hits like Edge of Eternities and Tarkir: Dragonstorm alongside announcements for a new novel and comic book line. This week, we're go through everything Vorthos from last year and discuss the hits and misses for worldbuilding, narrative, and story releases. Where did Magic excel and where did it fall flat?
