Welcome to the Brass Eagle is an immersive audio drama that pulls you directly into that legend. Created by Connor Bushoven, this fiction podcast centers on the elusive Brass Eagle Tavern, an establishment famous not for its ale but for its inexplicable habit of appearing in different places without warning.

Each episode immerses you in their unfolding journey as they navigate this magical space, trying to understand where the tavern might take them next and decipher the motives of its enigmatic, ever-present Keeper. The soundscape builds a world where fantasy feels tangible and every creak of a floorboard or clink of a glass might hold a clue. This isn't just a story about a location; it's about the people drawn to it and the choices they make within its shifting walls. Tune in for a character-driven drama where the setting is as much a living entity as the cast, and where every visit to the Welcome to the Brass Eagle podcast promises a new twist in an old tale.
