Man, the market for a good Magic podcast or YouTube channel is crowded with people all saying the same thing. Never ending cycle of new sets coming out, people looking at deck lists, cards getting hyped, blah blah blah. That's too much for someone like me.
Still, I've narrowed my listening schedule down to three that stand out for content that filters through the noise...
Casual Magic with Shivam Bhatt

These are long form interviews with artists, players, game designers and content creators. I like it because it's not focused on the meta or set reviews. Just a deep dive into the unique aspects of this game worth hearing more about.

You want lore? They've got it. Everything you'd ever want to know about the stories and metaverse of this game. Makes flavor of cards and sets much more enriching.
The Howling Salt Mine

Okay, this one is a guilty pleasure. I don't play commander and don't hang out at game stores, but this format gives me what I imagine is the feeling of playing cards with friends and foes. Each week brings stories about how salty someone got over their game. It's fun to be an outsider looking in on how geeky this culture can get.
