The BoneZone: A Trading Card Game Podcast

The BoneZone is a monthly trading card game podcast where my friend George and I talk about trading card games. Who am I you ask? My name is Jordan, and I'm a Trading Card Game content creator who enjoys talking about, collecting, and playing TCGs. I started collecting and playing in 1993 when I discovered Magic the Gathering at a local card show, and I've been hooked ever since! Since creating The BoneZone Podcast and my YouTube channel I've met so many kind and incredible people and I hope to continue creating relevant and enjoyable content for years to come.
