No, that's not a typo you're seeing in the title, just an episode that took a bit of editing before it could be published. In Episode 11, listen in as Willis (flying solo for the first time) interviews Magic artist Peter Mohrbacher, the man behind Brimaz, Pharika, Erebos, and several other all-star cards from recent Magic history. (Note: Due to some technical issues, there might be a couple of locations where the conversation seems choppy or skips a bit. This was due to Skype not cooperating completely and having to stitch together the episode from several calls. I've tried to make the transitions as seamless as possible, but if something seems amiss, that's probably it.) As mentioned in the show, Peter's Instagram, which contains tons of cool stuff can be found at: http://instagram.com/bugmeyer Full episode can be found below:
