Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Explores themes of magic, loss, and the consequences of power, with episodes delving into the backstory of the magic incident and the emotional struggles of the surviving magicians.
Adam Blackwell and Amy Stirling met as graduate students in anthropology, both obsessed with studying the same dead language and long-lost culture. Their relationship was always… complicated. They were bitter rivals, ideological opposites, and even went out on a date once – though they’d really prefer if everyone forgot about that last thing, thank you very much.
Then, they became the first two people in thousands of years capable of doing magic.
Over the next five years, they became global superstars, both revered and feared. Their powers led to a tragedy unlike any the world had seen before. Now, the world’s first two magicians of the modern age must figure out the truth of their power, its consequences, and their relationship with one another before they do more damage to the world.

Episode 18. The fall of 2029. As Adam comes to grips with the reality of a world with multiple magicians in it, he does his best to find the answer to the question that haunts his every waking hour: how did the ancient Harbinger Empire survive two ring-wielders coming into conflict with one another? By 2032, whether Adam managed to solve that riddle or not may be key to thousands of people and multiple nations surviving the Atlantic Crisis.
Be advised: this episode contains strong language, discussions of politics, and depictions of incarceration, specifically within the modern American prison system. It also mentions, but does not depict, acts of war, violence, and murder, most of it directed towards a group that had been subjugated through military force. Listener discretion is advised.
