Summary: Paul Collins joins Vyz to dig deeper into the Venetian roots of the Magicians of Mutability. This episode is part 5 of "The Magicians of Mutability." In the mid 2000's, Vyzygoth had a series of conversations with research writers/brothers Paul and Phillip Collins on his Grassy Knoll radio show. This wide ranging series provides some now-forgotten history that informs what is happening today. The episode originally aired on February 24, 2005. Chapters are back thanks to GarageBand 6.0.5, Podcast Chapters and Podcast Index. As a reminder, if you're on an Android device, AntennaPod is the podcast player that correctly displays chapters. If you're on an Apple device, you'll need to download the m4a file from the web site to have chapters work correctly. Find other episodes and series under the Pages section on the right.
