Sidequesting

Wanderer’s Journal is a fantasy fiction podcast about Marigold and Pluto, two people from different backgrounds, and their unlikely friendship formed through a magical journal that links them. Each of them finds a journal, learns that their voice is recorded into it, and can be both read and played back to the other. Unbeknownst to them, they become a part of an ancient mystery, and see the world from new angles. The center of the podcast is the growing connection between Marigold and Pluto, and the story that unfolds for each of them on their journey. The main themes are friendships in spite of distance, the way places change depending on who experiences them, and how circumstances shape people and the world. The show releases on April 23rd! Tal is the voice of Mairgold! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When did the kudzu start humming like that? Malik & Jamie will try to help! Episode transcript can be found here. Find out more at audaciousmachinecreative.com!
