386 - Secrets of Strixhaven with Author K Arsenault Rivera

About this episode

The episode features an interview with K Arsenault Rivera discussing her work on Secrets of Strixhaven and the characters Chandra and Ajani.

This week we're joined by Wizard and author of the story for Secrets of Strixhaven, K Arsenault Rivera! She's contributed to the Magic Story since Innistrad: Midnight Hunt and has been a frequent guest of the podcast over the years since. We talk about writing the students of Strixhaven, as well as catching up with Chandra and Ajani after they've both been through so much. We had to do some very unusual recording for this episode, so if things sound weird, I did my best! If you'd like to support the show, you can find us on Patreon at Patreon.com/TheVorthosCast!
