Way back in 2006 I decided to start a Magic: The Gathering podcast and jokingly named it "The Magic Sock" after a sock puppet I had. For a little over 5 years, I had a blast running the podcast. At the end of the run, I had recorded 251 episodes, interviewed members of the research & development team at Wizards of the Coast, the artist Rebecca Guay and spent countless hours learning how to incorporate a hobby in a fun podcast.
