The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One #0: "Preludes"

In this epic and emotional start to the new podcast featuring Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, Brennan Lee Mulligan, and Lou Wilson, we are introduced to three key characters.

The episode begins with Suvi, a young girl caught in the middle of a war. As her parents and a figure named Yuren debate her future, Suvi is sent off to live with Grandma Wren, setting the tone for a heart-wrenching story. The powerful sound design adds to the emotional weight, leaving the audience in tears early on.

Next, we meet Ame, a 7-year-old living with Grandma Wren, eager to learn magic. Her story is more lighthearted, though it takes a serious turn when Suvi arrives in a carriage.

Finally, we shift to Eursulon, who lives in the spirit world. After playing with his family of spirits on a great spirit bear, he stumbles upon a group of knights. He forms a bond with the lead knight before returning home, leaving us with a sense of wonder as the episode closes.

The stage is set for an exciting and emotional adventure.
