Okay, good, you've really taken this to a fantastical degree, which is absolutely what you can do with the podcast. You're not bound by visual images, so you can create any world or any type of person that you want. I love this character's name, Minerva Storm, and I love too that she has a pet crow (name him/her too). Your job now is to make her as real as possible--even if she does have some magical powers, what are her limitations? What is the world like that she inhabits? What would she most like to change about her life? What is she afraid of? If you are a witch, what exactly is your occupation and how much does she interact with the non-magical world? I'm curious too to see how you will use these fantasical elements and how you will convey them in sound. It sounds like a cool challenge!
