Magic of Eyri 021-Silver Tongued

   Posted by: Daniel    in Episodes, Podcast

Today’s episode: Steve and his friends escape the Hawk King’s wrath thanks to his blue heron amulet. His joy is short lived when he spots a column of smoke on the horizon, hinting at the destruction brought to Uth, the Last Human Village. Much to Steve’s annoyance, Istrio the blue heron mystic appears to check in with the boy.

In our last episode: The Hawk King burned Uth, the Last Human Village to the ground in his search for Steve.

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (04.07.10): “Duck and Cover” – Steve and his friends arrive in Tal, the duck port town. NOTE: I’m kind of skipping a week because there would three episodes in March because of how the weeks line up. I decided to skip the 31st and release episode 22 on April 7th (thus sticking to the first and third Wednesday of the month schedule).

Ramblings:

Istrio is back, and boy does he have some harsh words for Steve.

This episode introduces one of my favorite characters–Gladius, the cranky talking silver swordfish. Gladius was a favorite of mine to write for when I wrote the original novel. There are a few hidden jokes in this episode, but the main one is Uncle Shameless’ line about Steve having a “butch name like Theodore or Gordon.” That refers to former Detroit Red Wings players, Ted Lindsay and Gordie Howe. Steve is of course named for another former Red Wing, Steve Yzerman. The joke about Steve’s mother wanting to name him Françoise is a bit of family trivia–that nearly happened to my dad.

Magic of Eyri 019-Neo Geo

   Posted by: Daniel    in Episodes, Podcast

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (03.03.10): “Burn” – Fiach-Ra, the Hawk King, takes matters into his own hands when it comes to dealing with Steve and his friends.

Ramblings:

This is the first episode to feature some of my original “music.” I say “music” because it is more or less me hitting random keys on a synth keyboard until I found something that sounded neat.  I also recorded some guitar parts (but not everything you hear in this episode is my doing) and ran them through “amps” in GarageBand.  I had fun coming up with music and I’ll try to do it in the future, because some times you just want a crunchy power chord for a scene.

Today’s episode also features some great guest voice work by the mysterious Valeta.  She is very talented and I’m happy to have her on board the podcast and look forward to having her voice more characters in upcoming episodes.

Magic of Eyri 018-Uth the Last Human Village

   Posted by: Daniel    in Episodes, Podcast

Today’s episode: Our Heroes finally reach Uth, the Last Human Village.

In our last episode: Zeroth tries to teach Steve how to fight using the creatures known as swordfish.  Zeroth also gives Steve and Uncle Shameless magical armor.  The armor changes size via the wearer’s imagination–Uncle Shameless has no difficulties with this, but it presents a challenge for Steve.

(The Old Man)

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (02.17.10): “Neo Geo” – Steve meets the Oracle of Uth and the Hawk King is not happy after being informed that The Boy is still on the loose.

Ramblings:

I’m happy to announce that Lansing, Michigan singer/songwriter Ryan Knott recoded a line of dialogue for this episode.  His line, “that’s not a troll–that’s my wife!” was one of my favorite (stupid) lines in this episode.

And in other good news, I’ll have another guest voice for episode 019.  I like that I’m finally asking local folks to record a few lines here and there–but let us not forget to thank Robin Hudson (Eira) for all of her continuing hard work and excellent voice acting–especially since she’s all the way in South Korea! (that’s a long walk from Michigan).

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (01.20.10): “Fishy Business” Our heroes continue on their way to Uth, the Last Human Village.  Along the way, Steve gets an interesting weapon–a living creature called a swordfish.

Ramblings: For those trying to get an idea as to who Zeroth’s magical pack works, the best comparison I can think of is a TARDIS from Doctor Who: bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.  The inside of Zeroth’s pack has the same space as a large room, and objects (and persons) inside do experience some disorientation while as Zeroth moves around (similar to sea-sickness).  Zeroth removes items by thinking of them as he pulls his hand out.  To help remember what he is carrying, Zeroth keeps a ledger book with an ongoing list of what’s inside.
