Magic: The Gathering Drive to Work Podcast

Mark Rosewater

Booking Overview

A predominantly solo-expert podcast focused on Magic: The Gathering design, development, and the history of the game, with occasional interviews featuring experienced members of its design team. Credible pitches would include senior trading-card or tabletop game designers, game-development leads, and other practitioners with direct expertise in game mechanics and product design; booking is likely high difficulty because external interviews are infrequent and the subject matter is highly specialized.
