McAnally's Pubcast

Free Flow Rambling

Welcome to the McAnally’s Pubcast, a podcast dedicated to the Dresden Files Universe.

For the newly indoctrinated, Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files follows the story of a professional wizard in Chicago.

The first book, Storm Front, was published in 2000, and the series now boasts 17 novels, plus a combined 36 short stories, comics, and graphic novels to help flesh out the world. On top of that, the Dresden Files has also produced a television series, card games, and a TTRPG.

With all of that content (and a ballpark estimate of 6 coming novels), we’ve started our Dresden Files Podcast as a way to help break down the series most important moments, characters and lore. Add theories, ramblings and outside sources, and you’ve got the number one Dresden podcast for all your interests.
