• Summary

  • Magic is real. And it’s dangerous. It’s locked in books and relics imbued with power. But sometimes, whether by accident or by design, magic escapes and wreaks havoc upon the world. That’s when Team Three is deployed—known by their enemies as: The Bookburners. Tasked with identifying and neutralizing magical threats anywhere in the world, the Bookburners are a cohort of special investigators from wildly different walks of life—a New York City detective, a Guatemalan priest, an indestructible woman from China, a techno-occultist from Ireland, and an inquisitive scholar from the Ivory Coast. But each member of the Bookburners bears the scars of their own past magical trauma. What that means for the team, as they face horrors that threaten their sanity and their very lives, will cause them each to question their mission… and their faith in one another. Bookburners is a Realm production voiced by Xe Sands, created by Max Gladstone, and written by Max Gladstone, Margaret Dunlap, Amal El-Mohtar, Mur Lafferty, Andrea Phillips, and Brian Francis Slattery. Listen away.

THIS SERIES IS PRETTY GOOD

This series is pretty interesting, it's like binge watching Netflix, each episode brings you to new destination and give more insight to the characters and what drives them. I found this podcast randomly and I am hooked. In my mind's eye I have identified from various movies/tv shows I have seen over the years. Asanti could be played by Kimberly Elise from Beloved. Grace could be played by May from Agent of Shields. Liam could be played by Clayton from Bitten, Father Menchú could be played by Jeffery Dean from the Walking Dead, Sal could be played by Scarlett Johansson from the Black Widow. Love this, keep it coming.
