Hi!

I noticed I couldn't find you on Spotify anymore.

Youtube is still up, but Castbox wasn't available either.

Is this show discontinued/disappearing?

Hi!

Thanks for the ask and sorry if it took us forever to answer. I know we didn't make an official post but both our lives got so busy that we couldn't really find the time or motivation to continue this project. The podcast isn't available on most other platforms anymore but it's not disappearing! It will be available on YouTube for the foreseeable future and we're not planning on removing it.

Hey everyone! It’s been a while but Episode 22: Costumes is finally here! We recorded this in May but due to illness, the editing was delayed a few weeks. We hope you enjoy this spontaneous episode drop! As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts.

In this episode, we explore a variety of costumes as seen in BBC Merlin. Join us as we discuss historical accuracy, roast everyone's outfits, and design a costume for our most favorite musician in all of Albion.

Listen to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube, and Castbox.   Support us on Ko-Fi if you’d like.

Hi!! I’ve been listening to your podcast over the past 6 months and it’s been a real comfort to spend time listening to~ You both are amazing and have real cool podcast-y voices, and there are several clips I’ve sent to friends just for how funny you both are-

If you two are up to it, I was thinking maybe looking at the costume design of the main characters and just how they generally came up with the creative direction to design the cast in a way that isn’t congruent with the time period.

I would just love to hear your thoughts on it, if you generally have any insight or perhaps not- either way~

Thank you both for being super cool and yeah, bye! C:

Awww wow this is so kind thank you! Also, that's a great idea! We're just now finishing up our plans for the costume episode but we'll definitely take a look at that. And thank YOU for being super cool! It really means a lot to us to know you're enjoying the episodes :)

We're excited to announce the release of our first mini-episode! Minisode 1: The Cailleach is now live! Let us know if you like this new bonus episode format. Suggestions and comments are welcome as always. Check out this post if you missed the announcement about these new special episodes.

Welcome to our first mini-episode! Join Naomi as she discusses the Cailleach both in BBC's Merlin and in various accounts in mythology.

Hey everyone! We have an announcement concerning the episode schedule these next two months that's going to be something a little different than what we've done in the past. We are still planning on putting out the costume episode, but have struggled to find time to prepare it properly between uni, work, and other life events. So, in order to assure the episode is good, we've decided to delay it a bit longer BUT we will still be releasing some content in a new format! We will be introducing mini-episodes! As we take some more time to work on our longer episodes, we have decided to release mini-episodes that will be 15-30 minutes long and will feature either Naomi or Edith talking about a Merlin-related topic that is interesting but maybe not big enough to warrant its own episode. I (Naomi) will be hosting the first mini-episode mid-next week and the topic will be the Cailleach! We really hope you enjoy these little special episodes that allow us to still have fun with making the podcast while balancing everything life is throwing at us currently. We hope that you all are doing well and you will hear from us both again soon!

Hey, everyone! It’s been a while, but we’re back at it again with a podcast update: The next episode will indeed be the highly anticipated Costumes episode.

Make sure to send us any comments or questions you have on the topic, either here on tumblr or to [email protected]. We love to hear from you!

Because of exams, theses, and a certain pandemic it has taken some time to prepare for this one, and we really appreciate your patience! Hopefully you’ll have a brand new episode streaming in your headphones before the end of the month!

As always, thank you for listening! ❤️

if every comic relief episode post-s2 was replaced by showing us what happened to morgana during the timeskip the show would’ve 📈📈📈 (and some timeskip info in s5) additionally, i was wondering what your individual tumblrs are? you’ve referenced them in the podcast but i’ve never quite been able to find them (apologies if you’ve posted them in the past)

Ok but you're right. More Morgana development would definitely have been appreciated. Edith's is @pretendingday (where you can also see some great art from her). Naomi's is @flukenatouch (but I will forewarn you I'm not a merlin main blog anymore so that may not be of interest to you).

[mythsandmagicfancast]

When will you do the BBC MERLIN costumes epiosode? I am really excited about it!

We've not discussed the next topic yet because one of us has exam season and the other one covid so maybe we will plan to make it the next one. Just have to get it all planned out since it's a difficult one to do in audio form.

[mythsandmagicfancast]

I wonder when you're gonna tackle the costumes part and what recorces you're gonna use 😏⭐👀

Very good question, dear listener! Not too far into the future, we hope. As for resources; we’re glad to accept any suggestions. For once we will not be relying on a certain wiki, but rather a combination of Edith’s bookshelf and google! Thank you for listening!

[mythsandmagicfancast]

Me being too nervous to email you :(

VS Me being excited about the fact you two sounds friendly and mulitipal people from Tumblr already joined you on the podcast

Aww being nervous is understandable but thank you for saying we sound friendly! If you ever do get around to sending an Email we would love to read it! It's always a joy talking with you all whether its through messages or on the podcast itself. We hope you have a great week <3

hi there, I’m currently in the middle of ep 11 (holidays), where you’re going through various comments on merlin wiki pages. one comment called agravaine “agrapain” and it made me think of the bad excellent kind of rhyme lancelot camelot would think up. which got me thinking: what does agravaine think of lancelot camelot? does he love him, despise him, or is he largely indifferent? does arthur see him at the tavern pre-betrayal and desperately want to impress him, or is it more of an “if anyone in my family sees me doing this I will die of shame and embarrassment” kind of thing? OR does arthur share his lancelot camelot secret with his uncle in a display of complete trust, only to have his heart smashed into even smaller pieces when agravaine betrays him?

very sorry if this is discussed in future episodes! please ignore if so, but your podcast is absolutely lovely and listening continues to make my day

Thank you for this amazing ask! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the podcast, so far! We’re always up for a good Lancelot Camelot discussion in this house!

As far as I (Edith) remember we haven’t really talked about Agravaine’s opinions on our favourite bard, before. You raise some interesting questions, and I may have to force Naomi to discuss them in an upcoming episode… Stay tuned for that. Personally I’m leaning towards Arthur not telling Agravaine about his alter ego, but doing his very best to impress him! Maybe he’s even written him a song?

We were able to record and edit the new episode all in one day so it will be out on Thursday the 23rd at the usual time! Had some issues with audio on Naomi's end but we tried to clean it up as much as possible. Thank you for sticking with us throughout the year and we wish you all a happy holiday season!

[mythsandmagicfancast]

I really feel like you should do do a part 2 of rare pairs and do a deeper dive into it

I love your blog it is one of my favorites!

If there are enough rare pair suggestions we may consider it! Also thank you for your kind words! The new episode is coming before the new year by the way. We've really just been set back by injuries/illness and work a little longer than we thought.

[mythsandmagicfancast]

A really unrelated question, but where can i find a list if all the fanfuction you have been recommended so far?

Thank you!!!

Hi! We welcome random questions always. We've yet to make a full master post of all the media we mention BUT there is this list of fics we made when we did the merthur episode here.

[mythsandmagicfancast]

Hey, everyone! We’re sorry to announce further delay on the next episode, due to health reasons, but we will be doing our very best to have it out by next week! 

On the bright side; this gives all of you some more time to send in your thoughts about the topic The Kingdoms of Albion. Would you rather live in Camelot or Essetir? Any hot takes on Mercia? Let us know. 

For now, have a wonderful week, and we’ll be back soon!
