On Mages of the Air, hosts Tracy and Caitie read through Tamora Pierce’s books, both the Tortall Universe and The Circle Universe, with commentary, comedy, and care. Life-long Tammy-fans, both hosts share about their own journeys to and through these books, as well as how Tammy has inspired them in the real world. With Tea-of-the-Week, Recommended Reading, and too much talk about our own animal friends, Mages of the Air has something for all fans; young, young-at-heart, long-term readers, and new converts are welcome here!
This is an appropriate title for the episode and the chapter! Daine meets new friends and we enjoy some long distance fun with our own. Check out conversations about ogres, animal voices and some dice rolling!
