We take our first trip to Brakebills!   Ryan Houlihan, Ian Carlos Crawford, and Kimberly Ann Southwick kick off our coverage of The Magicians by talking about the series with the author of the books, Lev Grossman. This interview is half non-spoiler (for the folks whoa re going to be doing their first watch alongside the podcast's coverage) and then half spoilery - we announce when spoilers will start if you're worried about being spoiled.   From our Sponsor: Workout With Wes!
