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.
