The Dive Down is a weekly podcast for people who love Magic: The Gathering but like talking about other things too. From videogames, to parenting, to 3D printing, and beyond.
Each week hosts Dave, Stan, and Shane discuss the latest Magic formats they've been playing, videogames they've been beating, movies they've been watching, music they've discovered, and the daily embarrassments they endure along the way.
