We're Live!

Welcome to the new "The Magic Sock" podcast website. If you're new listening to The Magic Sock, welcome! What's the fuss all about? In The Magic Sock podcast, I talk about all things related to the Magic: The Gathering card game. I've been playing Magic: The Gathering for over 14 years (I started when Unlimited was out) and I've been doing this podcast for over two years. I've also written a good many articles over the last few years. I've had articles published in Beckett Magic The Gathering magazine (which sadly ceased publication in 2007) and have had two of my decks published in articles in Inquest Gamer (which also sadly ceased publication in 2007). One of my favorite published articles appeared last year on the official Magic: The Gathering website.

So if you're looking for a cool podcast to listen to, take a moment to subscribe and you'll be able to enjoy all the episodes here. If you're new to the world of podcasting, here is a video to teach you how to subscribe. Welcome aboard and, remember: Keep playing Magic!
