The podcast was conceived by Arnie Niekamp, who said he enjoyed podcasts that felt like a "laid-back chat show" and relished the idea of introducing a "really weird story". A Discord server is also available for Patreon backers.
Real-life fans and listeners of the podcast can interact with the characters by sending email messages to Arnie and Chunt (some of which are read on the show) and through in-character Twitter accounts set up for Usidore and Chunt. The town of Hogsface was destroyed at the end of season 2, so as of season 3 the group travels around Foon in a quest to defeat the Dark Lord. Each week, Arnie, Usidore, and Chunt interview magical creatures to introduce the listener to new aspects of the world of Foon. The podcast is recorded in The Vermilion Minotaur, a tavern located in a town called Hogsface near McShingleshane Forest. He is joined each week by co-hosts Usidore the Blue (Matt Young), a wizard, and Chunt (Adal Rifai), a shapeshifter who is in the form of a badger for most of the podcast. Although unable to return to Earth, Arnie starts a podcast using equipment that he happened to have with him and a weak Wi-Fi signal from the Burger King through the portal to teach people of Earth about Foon.
Hello from the Magic Tavern is hosted by a fictionalized version of Arnie Niekamp, who fell into a trans-dimensional portal behind a Burger King restaurant in Chicago and landed in Foon, a magical land in the style of Narnia or Middle-Earth. iTunes has named it as one of the Best Podcasts of 2015 and The Guardian ranked it one of the "10 best new podcasts of 2015 (that aren't Serial)." Concept The podcast has generated a strong fanbase and received generally positive reviews. Niekamp, Young, Rifai, and many of their guests are regulars of the Chicago improv comedy community. The first episode was released in March 2015. Niekamp and his co-hosts-a wizard named Usidore the Blue (Young), and a shapeshifter, Chunt (Rifai)-interview various magical creatures at the Vermillion Minotaur tavern. The podcast is set in the fictional world of Foon, a magical realm where a fictionalized version of Niekamp is trapped after falling through a dimensional rift in Chicago. Hello from the Magic Tavern is an improvised comedy podcast hosted and produced by Arnie Niekamp, Matt Young, and Adal Rifai. Arnie Niekamp, Evan Jacover, Ryan DiGiorgi
