356 - The Metacosmology of the Edge
This week, we're delving deeper into the Edge and talking about the metacosmology of this universe outside of the multiverse. How does the Edge exist in relationship to the Multiverse? What makes a star? How does faster than light travel work within Magic's outer-outer space? These are just some questions we answer in this episode.

355 - Talking Robot Kissing with @iwriterobots!
We're putting a spotlight on a member of the greater Vorthosium this week with special guest Henn (@iwriterobots) to talk about robots in Magic! The Edge was full of delightful mechans, so we asked friend of the show Henn on to talk about what it means to be a robot, why robots in the Edge are so cool, and if you should be kissing them (yes).

354 - Worlds of the Edge
Our expedition through the Edge has brought us to Sothera, where we have conducted extensive research into the planets and peoples that make up this supervoid system. Last week, we explored the different lifeforms in all their complexity, and this week we are delving into the depths of the planets themselves to learn about the secrets they hold and the organizations that vie for control of them.
