The Magic of Eyri is a Fantasy-Comedy-Adventure podcast based on the novel of the same name by Daniel J. Hogan. It is best described as a blend of the fairy tale charm of The Wizard of Oz and the wacky humor of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Suitable for Young Adults (age 13) and older.

The story is about a boy named Steve who is transported to the wacky fantasy world of Eyri with his Uncle Shameless. Once in Eyri (pronounced AIR-EE), Steve finds out he is part of a prophecy to free the land from the rule of the wicked Hawk King. The Magic of Eyri: Podcast and Novel
