Heal Thy Burgers
by Alex Zenk
A podcast dedicated to exploring the world of fantasy, from books to video games. We will dive into my mind and examine the past influences on the story, Chronicles of Ordi, a book in production, and how I balance the desire to explore the fantasy worlds today. My goal is merely to have fun, and talk about topics that are close to me from Tolkien, to World of Warcraft and many other works. Join me on a weekly show to see where we will end up next. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
