Episode 279: Melthos through the Chaos of the Planes

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Taya interviewed Seanan McGuire [https://www.seananmcguire.com/] at the launch party for her new book Strixhaven Omens of Chaos. They discussed the primary characters and the behind the scenes development story of the book. This conversation is mostly spoiler free with the discussion limited to the character information already revealed. This was followed by a very amusing audience Q&A. Thanks to Crow’s Nest Comics for hosting this event.

Warning: Some Adult Topics and language cause it's Seanan :)

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast!

We have a lot going on here, which seems evergreen at this point. Alex does discuss some of what is happening in Minneapolis and while Hobbes is not on the recording he wanted to also just say that people need to pay attention to what is happening in Minnesota right now. Alex today returns to a topic we love during the new year... Planning... Purposefully... or at least planning to plan... purposefully
