The Timelines Project is a Podcast about the lore and story of Magic the Gathering. The goal of the podcast is to summarize the many stories that magic has told over the years into 45 minute podcasts, that new and old magic players can enjoy. Interspersed through the summaries are shorter episodes relating to topics based less in fact and more in speculation, and after I finish a book there will be a recap episode for those who didn’t have the time for the longer episode(s). I will be starting summaries with the older books and working my way forward going chronologically as best I can. Hope you enjoy it! - The Magic Historian
