the Off-Topic podcast

The term “Witcher” isn’t all that new to the world of pop culture. Before the recently announced Netflix show, starring Henry Cavill, was announced the name was connected to series of open-world RPG videogames. Before that, they were a series of stories written by a Polish author as far back as 1993. But that doesn’t mean that everyone is familiar with the character. The Witcher is a man with white hair and yellow cat eyes. Trained from a young age in the medieval equivalent of special forces course and later imbued and genetically altered with magic. This allows Witchers to hunt the horrific beast that share the lands with elves and humans.
