\u201cHello From The Magic Tavern\u201d is hosted by Arnie Niekamp. He is the main character of this fictional narrative podcast. The podcast starts off with an advertisement about Earwolf and how they discuss \u201cHello From The Magic Tavern\u201d on social media . The next voice is a man advertising a different podcast that the listeners should go support. After roughly a minute of listening to the podcast, there is a fictional advertisement brought to your ears by Usidore, he is the crazy wizard character in the narrative podcast. The music transitioning over to when the host starts to speak really draws you into a medieval setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arnie fell through a portal behind a Burger King in Chicago, Illinois and stumbled into this magical land, called Foon. Thankfully he fell into this portal with his podcasting gear. Through the portal, he is able to gain a strong enough wi-fi connection to upload podcasts to our world. In the podcast he is interviewing a badger named Chunt and a wizard named Usidore. Each character is very different from one another and keeps the listener entertained. In the podcast Usidore seems to be the character that gets made fun of and is crazy, to keep the story more interesting for different audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The characters do a really good job of setting the scene. When I was listening to \u201cHello From The Magic Tavern\u201d, I could envision the three characters in an old tavern standing around and talking. In the first episode, Arnie mostly asks Chunt questions. Chunt is a badger that can change into other animals. His mother was a manticore and his father was a hunger ghost, which is a ghost of someone who died starving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wizard tries to interrupt a lot and talk about his quest or the dark lord that must not be named. During the podcast, Usidore will go into an insane \u201cwizard state\u201d where he just mumbles to himself . During the interview, Chunt mentions that the town in which the tavern is based in is called Hogface. People come to the tavern from Foon to escape from life or just a casual place after work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the podcast \u201cHello From The Magic Tavern\u201d, I believe that they use extravagant characters and personalities to make the podcast more intriguing. When there is music in the background, it definitely helps set the scene for the listener. This podcast was a little hard for me to wrap my head around because of how fictional it was. Arnie and the other characters, definitely do a fantastic job of keeping their voices interesting and never monotone. Their voices made me feel interested to keep listening and even listen to another episode.The host wanted to keep his first episodes short, so that the audience wouldn\u2019t be bored and would want to continue listening. I wish the first episode was a little longer, so that I would have a better understanding of what was going on. To get a better grasp on the story, I listened to the second episode of the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
