Slate wave magic is a unique form of magic that involves the manipulation and control of slates, which are flat, smooth stones or tablets. This form of magic is rooted in ancient teachings and practices, and has been passed down through various generations. Practitioners of slate wave magic are skilled in harnessing the natural energy present in slates and using it to cast spells and perform magical feats. The slates themselves serve as conduits for the magic, allowing the practitioner to channel their intent and will through them. One of the key aspects of slate wave magic is the ability to create waves of energy that can be directed towards a specific target. These waves can be used for various purposes, such as healing, protection, or even offensive maneuvers.
I also use, when I can, the Studer A-800 on most of my tracks, and the ATR-102 on the master, and that does something pretty cool, some of the time anyway.

These waves can be used for various purposes, such as healing, protection, or even offensive maneuvers. The intensity and nature of the wave can be adjusted by the practitioner, allowing for a wide range of magical effects. Additionally, slates can be engraved or inscribed with symbols and sigils, further enhancing their magical properties.

What are the qualities of a good podcaster?
The podcasters I love to listen to are people who are able to sound like they’re having a fun, casual conversation with their buddies (or colleagues) while dropping serious knowledge—the team on the FiveThirtyEight Politics Podcast or Thirst Aid Kit’s Nichole Perkins and Bim Adewunmi are standouts at this. I love podcasters who can express deep insights without sounding pompous—my colleagues on The Waves are great at that. I also love hearing people wonk out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an NBA game, but I never miss an episode of The Lowe Post, in which ESPN’s Zach Lowe interviews basketball writers and players. I also love The Pen Addict, in which Brad Dowdy and Myke Hurley talk about pens and stationery every week. (They’re currently on Episode 387!) To give you a sense of how much I love quality chat, I’ve never owned an Android device, but for years I had a weekly appointment with All About Android.
When did you start podcasting?
Starting in 2003, when Slate collaborated with NPR on the midday radio show Day to Day, I would occasionally serve as substitute Slate talent wrangler when Andy Bowers, Slate’s representative at NPR West, was on vacation. (This was crazy—I did know the Slatesters, but I knew pretty much nothing about radio, at least as it is practiced in the 21st century—I’d worked in college radio and on feminist radio collectives, but back in the days of magnetic tape!) On one of these occasions, in 2005, Andy got back in time for us to have lunch, and he told me about podcasts. I was hooked. (He’s pretty persuasive.) By day I was Slate’s foreign editor, but by night I became a podcast producer. Every weeknight I would read the Explainer column into a digital recorder, then edit and upload Slate’s Explainer podcast. I did that for longer than I can now believe, and afterward I was involved with several other Slate shows—I subbed on the Culture Gabfest for a few months; I made Afterword, an author interview show; I did a bunch of TV recap podcasts with Seth Stevenson. Then in 2013, I joined The Waves, Slate’s podcast about feminism and gender, which was then known as the DoubleX Gabfest.
If you were going to start another podcast that would be wildly successful no matter what (so don't worry about it succeeding. this is JUST for you. ) what would it be?
My journalistic obsession is the challenge millions of Americans face accessing dental treatment. Perfect topic for a podcast, right?
Describe your listeners in 3 words.
Waves listeners are smart, sassy, engaged. (And when they think we’ve strayed from the path of right-on feminism, they let us know.)
How has podcasting changed your life?
Podcasts are my job now—I’m the senior managing producer of the Slate Podcast Network. Being one of the hosts of The Waves is a small part of my workload. I spend most of my time keeping the production trains running on time, offering editorial feedback, and working with hosts and producers.
Give us another podcast recommendation.
Although I haven’t lived there for more than 35 years, I grew up in Britain, and I am still obsessed with British politics. Although I don’t share the Spectator’s politics, I’m a huge fan of Coffee House Shots, the magazine’s daily politics podcast. I love how efficient they are—episodes rarely exceed 12 minutes. Listening makes me feel like a Westminster insider.
Thanks, June!
But what is missing - to me - is a really good plugin to provide whatever magic it is that a good 2-mix summing stage provides.
These symbols act as amplifiers, increasing the power and effectiveness of the spells cast through the slate. Slate wave magic also involves a strong connection to the natural elements, particularly earth and water. The energy within the slates is closely linked to these elements, and practitioners often draw upon their energy and symbolism during their magical practices. Furthermore, the use of slates in magic can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where they were seen as sacred objects imbued with mystical properties. It is believed that the early practitioners of slate wave magic discovered the inherent power within these stones and used them to harness and manipulate magic. Overall, slate wave magic is a fascinating and powerful form of magic that utilizes the energy and properties of slates to cast spells and perform magical feats. The practice requires skill, concentration, and a deep understanding of the natural elements. Through the manipulation of slates, practitioners of slate wave magic can tap into the ancient and mystical powers that lie within these stones..
Reviews for "The Secrets of the Masters: Learning from Legendary Slate Wave Magicians"
- Jessica - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Slate wave magic". It just didn't live up to the hype. The plot was confusing and disjointed, and the characters felt flat and uninteresting. I struggled to connect with any of them and found myself not caring what happened to them. The writing style was also lackluster, with repetitive phrases and clunky dialogue. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to others.
- Mark - 1 star - "Slate wave magic" was a complete waste of my time. The story dragged on and on without any real direction. The world-building felt forced and underdeveloped, leaving me with more questions than answers. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth. I could barely finish this book, and I certainly won't be picking up any others from this author. Save your money and find something better to read.
- Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Slate wave magic" but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, and I found myself struggling to stay engaged throughout the entire book. The plot lacked excitement and the twists were predictable. The writing style was average at best, with unremarkable descriptions and dull dialogue. I was left feeling unsatisfied and disinterested in the story. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for an exciting and captivating read.
- David - 1 star - "Slate wave magic" was a complete letdown. The characters were unlikable and poorly developed. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to become invested in the story. The plot itself was convoluted and confusing, with unnecessary subplots that added nothing to the overall narrative. I found myself skimming through many parts of the book, hoping it would eventually improve, but it never did. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.
