 Magic of Eyri 010-Are You a Pelican or a Pelican't?: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Welcome back, loyal listeners.

In our last episode: Our heroes escaped the Hawk King’s castle using an old aqueduct as a make-shift water slide and ended up falling into a faraway lake.  Meanwhile Nevik, the Hawken from the dungeon, informed U’nala of Steve’s arrival in the city.

Today’s episode: Steve and Uncle Shameless meet Eira the pelican (voiced by Robin Hudson of Angel Between the Lines and other podcasts).  Eira is a who healer happens to be on her way to Uth, the Last Human Village–the same place Steve and Uncle Shameless are headed.  Back at the Hawk King’s castle, a vulture Mystic tells U’nala of the danger Steve represents.

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (8.30.09): The Trial – the Hawk King is not happy about Steve being allowed into his city–and he wants to know who is to blame.

Ramblings: This episode is dedicated to Les Paul (1915-2009), who passed away this week.  Not only am I appreciative of his contributions to guitars, but also of his pioneering of multi-track recording (and audio effects), which eventually evolved into the sound editing software we use today (in my case, GarageBand).  He will be missed, but not forgotten.  On a lighter note, please welcome Robin Hudson to our motley crew.  She is providing the voice of Eira the Pelican. Learn more about Robin on the Cast page.
