Magic: The Gathering Drive to Work Podcast

I was about to take my daughter off to college, so I dedicated a podcast to talking about what lessons college taught me that impact my life and how I design Magic.

This podcast is all about an unnamed but commonly used mechanic, one where you exile a permanent and then return it to the battlefield. R&D calls this ability "flickering" (it's also known as "blinking"), and this podcast will talk about its history, from its start in Urza's Destiny to present day.

This is another in my "Magic Evolution" series, where I go through the history of the game and talk about the design innovations each set brought to the table. In this podcast, I talk about Champions of Kamigawa block.

This is another in my series "Lessons Learned," where I examine sets I led or co-led and talk about what I learned from doing the design. In this podcast, I talk about the design of Ixalan.

Inspired by a video about the people who playtested Magic before it came out, I go into greater detail about the various playtesters.

This podcast talks about how Magic uses creature types and the role they play in design.

This podcast is about a concept that I wrote about in an article earlier this year which talks about the importance of games allowing its players to tell stories about the game.

This podcast tries to give a sense of scope about how many things we work on at once in R&D.

On a rare "Drive from Work," I talk with carpooler Scott Van Essen about what it was like to design Kaladesh together.

My carpool guest Scott Van Essen and I talk about the design of the new Transformers Trading Card Game, which he and I both worked on.

In this podcast, I examine the history of Squirrels in Magic.

At my SDCC Magic panel, I gave a little presentation about the history of Magic. This podcast is a slightly longer version of that talk.

Every year, I attend San Diego Comic-Con where I run a Magic panel among other responsibilities. Upon my return, I always record a podcast about it. This is that podcast.

I turn over my podcast to the color green, which explains in its own words what it believes. This is part five of a five-part series I'm calling "Color Talk."

I turn over my podcast to the color red, which explains in its own words what it believes. This is part four of a five-part series I'm calling "Color Talk."

I revisit two of my old articles ("When Cards Go Bad" and the follow-up "When Cards Go Bad Revisited") to talk about why R and D makes bad cards.

I turn over my podcast to the color black, which explains in its own words what it believes. This is part three of a five-part series I'm calling "Color Talk."

I turn over my podcast to the color blue, which explains in its own words what it believes. This is part two of my five-part series "Color Talk."

I turn over my podcast to the color white, which explains in its own words what it believes. This is part one of a five-part series I'm calling "Color Talk."

My wife and I love throwing parties, so in this podcast, I talk about the numerous lessons we've learned over the years and how I've been able to apply those lessons to designing Magic sets.

This is another in my series where I go through Magic sets and talk about what each one added to design technology. In this podcast, I talk about original Mirrodin block.

For the last three years, my daughter Rachel and I have attended Vidcon, a convention dedicated to YouTube video stars. This podcast is the story of this year's trip and all the things I learned from it.

My eldest daughter, Rachel, is off to college, but before she left, I was able to get in one more podcast with her. We chose to continue with our mailbag series "Replies with Rachel," where she and I answer questions from all of you.

To celebrate Magic's 25th Anniversary, we had five birthday Grand Prix around the world. I attended one of them, GP Las Vegas, and this podcast is all about my trip to the event.

This is the 20th and final installment in my series "20 Lessons, 20 Podcasts" based on my 2016 Game Developers Conference speech. In this podcast, I talk about how the 20 lessons all connect.
