Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast! TW: trauma, PTSD, sexual violence, rape, combat violence, death, social anxiety, depression. Way back in Episode 2 of the show we discussed what trauma is and how it differs from – but relates to – post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), and describes the resilience people find to work through a traumatic experience. While we have revisited elements of the topic we are doing so today explicitly in discussing the recent fall out of the War of the Machines and the various trauma responses we have seen. This episode focuses a lot on the topic of avoidance and while definitely a heavier topic, one we find important to discuss. We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources ____________________________________________ As promised, we keep Mental Health Links available every episode. But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families.

Hello Podwalkers! Today Alex is joined by Amy and Hunter of Two Shrinks Pod, and Dan of Leftover Army Monster podcasts in our first major collaboration with the Fireside Alliance, to discuss the Civilization video game series (turn based strategy games where your goal is to bring a civilization from a single city to global dominance through any of a number of different types of victories). This wide ranging conversation includes topics around problematic elements in a game that is supposed to represent real history to some degree, and more technical aspects. There is also general goofiness and fun stories/favorite strategies. While this episode does not discuss Magic elements, the topics of community and mental health are present. It’s a fairly big departure from our normal topics, but was a way to higlight collaboration with other creators who are part of the Fireside Alliance. We hope y’all enjoy it!

Hello Podwalkers,
Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today's episode is a conversation that tangentially relates to what sports might look like in the Magic Multiverse. Guest for this episode is 2 time World Series Champion (San Francisco Giants where he is returning this Spring), 4x All-Star, and Game Shop Owner Hunter Pence (@hunterpence). This is part one as Hunter had a lot to discuss when it comes to this game and his love of the Gathering in particular. Also if anyone is listening, this man needs a box of Original Innistrad. ____________________________________________ Remember: we've reached 500 followers on Twitter and will announce the lucky winners soon!

| 25 Nov 2020 | Episode 94: Karn in the Time of Cholera (Pt 2ish?) | 00:58:03 | |
Hello Podwalkers,
Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! For today's episode Alex and Hobbes were joined by the now officially sometimes hose of the cast Chase (aka ManaCurves) to discuss what Depression using the story of Karn as the jumping off point. This is part 2 of our discussion on this topic though it has been 9 episodes since part 1! There is a joke among the cast that time has no meaning and we had to re-record a large chunk of what was done previously as the prior recording had all sorts of audio issues. Today focuses a lot more on the real world implications and needed a fair amount of time devoted to it. So enjoy!

| 02 Mar 2022 | Episode 140: Breakfast with the Color Pie | 00:59:28 | |
Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! And we are back with our 7th Episode Using The Color Pie to discuss one of our top 3 Topics (Food). With each episode we find ourselves refining our Color Pie Theory for Food/Cooking and today's episode will continue that "refinement". Today we take on the American Breakfast... This stemmed from a discussion of excess and Hobbes's belief that every food would basically include Black. Let us know what you think. Also Hobbes would like to apologize for the audio. Something was causing interference with his mic (which appears to be fixed) but this had already been recorded. We hope it does not detract too much...

On another new note we continue our partnership with The Fireside Alliance. From their main page: "An independent media network and a progressive community of progressive communities". Please check them out!
