Magic: The Gathering Drive to Work Podcast

Donald Smith Jr. is a member of the Play Design team, and I talk with him about what Play Design does.

For years, this has been the number-one request for a carpool guest for the podcast, but as Richard doesn't live near me, nor work at Wizards anymore, it's been an unobtainable goal. Thus, he seemed like a great guest for my at-home edition where I could call him on the phone. Richard and I talk about the design of Alpha.

Matt Place had so much to say, we had to do a second podcast.

In this podcast, I interview Matt Place, a former pro player and Magic R&D member.

I also interview Chris who is another GDS3 alum and another person I work closely with on the Vision Design team. As with Ari, we talk about what it's like being a Magic player from the outside who became an insider.

In another of my interview series, I interview Ari Nieh, winner of the Great Designer Search 3 and someone I work closely with on the Vision Design team. We talk about his early days of Magic, GDS3, and what it's like to work in R&D.

In this podcast, I'm interviewing Annie Sardelis, one of the members of the Creative team.

In this podcast, I'm interviewing my boss and longtime Magic collaborator, Aaron Forsythe.

This podcast is part 2 of my interview with Michael Ryan. We continue talking about the making of the Weatherlight Saga.

I've started recording "Drive to Work" from home due to the pandemic, so I decided to use the opportunity to do something that's hard to do in the car, interview people over the phone. This podcast is part one of a talk I have with Michael Ryan, my fellow co-creator of the Weatherlight Saga. We talk about how we made the story, including many of the characters.
