#TheOMG It’S a Return-to-RavCast!

michaelj | 09:50AM on Tue Sep 11 2012

Beloved listeners,

MichaelJ and BDM meet on a street corner outside a coffee shop in the West Village of New York City.

Per normal, BDM gets to see all the models passing by while poor Mike looks at BDM, a brick wall, &c.

Topics include Mike’s new book [WHICH YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GO BUY RIGHT NOW] The Official Miser’s Guide at StarCityGames.com, how to produce the life results you want, and the spoiled cards various from the upcoming Return to Ravnica; but sadly, no basketball AT ALL.

Michael J Flores – @fivewithflores
Brian David-Marshall – @Top8Games

New Podcasts: Ravitz and BDM

michaelj | 02:00PM on Sun Apr 1 2012

I did a couple of podcasts last week.

Surely some of you beloved listeners will be interested :)

First one was on the way home from the Star City Invitational with Invitational Top 8 competitor Josh Ravitz.

The second was with BDM and Steve Sadin at the Top 8 Magic offices.

You can find them both over at MTGCast.

  • Part One: Ravitz
  • Part Two: BDM

Enjoy!

LOVE
MIKE

Podcast - Everything to Everyone!

michaelj | 09:22PM on Sun Mar 4 2012

Here are the show notes I sent to Chris Otwell at MTGCast:

Mike gets back from Hawaii so Mike and BDM podcast… over Skype.

Literally.

They have been in different cities week after week and are finally both back in NYC… and decide to try Skype.

Topics include Linsanity, Jon Finkel in the Top 8, Pro Tour Dark Ascension in general, and envisioning disparate possible futures.

You know, everything.

So basically BDM and I were casting over Skype and arguing about why our last podcast didn’t go up and at some point in ye olde cast BDM is like “we could just send this to Chris Otwell and link to it” … So that’s what we did! (you can listen to the interchange in this cast) (casto would have been up on MTGCast anyway).

So… Here it is!

Top8Magic #320 - Everything to Everyone (on MTGCast)

LOVE
MIKE

Podcast: Top8StreetFighter?

bdm | 07:48PM on Wed Nov 9 2011

Top8StreetFighter?

It has been a long time but Mike and I finally sat down and caught up on some of the latest Organized Play changes with more than a smattering of Mike’s recent obsession with Street Fighter. The exact topic of the podcast is a little tough to pin down since we had not done a ‘cast in quite some time and had plenty of stuff to talk about. There should be a little something for everyone but, alas no jackhammers. We made up for it with a special underground excursion toward the end of the podcast.

We probably won’t get another chance to update before I get back from Worlds so good luck to everyone in San Diego and San Francisco and have a great Thanksgiving!

Podcast: Come on Innistrad Part 4

bdm | 03:19PM on Fri Sep 23 2011

Come on Innistrad Part 4

After a long break — and an apocryphal ‘cast that never materialized — Michael J Flores and I settled in for a long podcasting session to discuss just about every card in Innistrad. And when I say “settled in” I actually mean it since we opted to podcast from the uneven floors of the Top8Magic offices rather than the windy, jackhammer laden streets of Manhattan. Everybody loves Liliana and Snapcast Mage but what are some of the hidden Constructed gems of Innistrad? The podcast is broken up into five sections going in WUBRG order — with lands, multicolors, and artifacts randomly tacked onto the red section — and we did our best to sort it all out.

Podcast: HeezyCast

bdm | 08:49PM on Tue Aug 2 2011

HeezyCast

While I was away MichaelJ got lonely and called up Hall of Fame hopeful Mark Herberholz. I honestly have no idea what they talked about — it could be anything. I am going to listen to it as soon as it goes live (don’t try this method at home!) and you should do the same. Before I have to take it down.

Quickcast

I have had this podcast stranded since before leaving for San Diego Comic Con. This was Michael J Flores and I grabbing a quick half and hour before my trip to discuss the Hall of Fame ballots and various eligible candidates. Sorry for the delay.
