''Hello From the Magic Tavern'' is a weekly podcast created by Arnie Niekamp set in the magical world of Foon.

After falling through a portal at a Burger King, Arnie finds himself stuck in the world of Foon. Luckily he has his podcast equipment, and a faint wi-fi signal coming from the Burger King on the other side of the portal, so he decides to set up a podcast in the Vermillion Minotaur, the local tavern.

His co-hosts are Chunt, a shape-shifter currently in the form of a badger, played by Adal Rifai, and Usidore the Blue, a wizard, played by Matt Young. They are joined each week by a variety of special guests who live in Foon.

The episodes are around 20-30 minutes long, and can be found at [[http://hellofromthemagictavern.com/ Hello From the Magic Tavern]]
