Hello Podwalkers,
Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast!
Before we get to the episode we want to remind you of the Charity Event this weekend.
Alex and returning guest Reinhardt Suarez talk about the fantasy story sub-genre of portal fantasy (stories that generally have their protagonist, and possibly others, travel to another worlds, usually from Earth, in some manner) , and how the stories of the five original Planeswalkers seem to have taken inspiration from it.
