I'm getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I'm looking to get something new in there.

Personally, it's been, in no particular order:

If Books Could Kill
Darknet Diaries
Hard Fork
99% Invisible
The War on Cars
The Urbanist Agenda
The Climate Denier's Playbook
Well There's Your Problem

I'm mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I'm a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.

I'm fully in the Nick Weiger podcast universe so I listen to:

Doughboys
Doughboys Double
Get Played
Get Played Season Pass

Which are all comedy podcasts with similar people appearing. They're about chain restaurants, random side bullshit, Video Games, and Anime respectively. Then I also listen to:

Quick Question with Soren and Daniel
The Film Reroll

Which is a podcast by 2 former cracked writers which is the only reason people listen to them and a podcast about playing through movies as role playing games

Film Reroll is a top-tier AP podcast.

If you like them, check out Dungeons and Daddies; it has a similar energy. I wish they'd guest on each other's shows!

The only reason I listen to Film Reroll is because it's about movies. I don't even listen to all of them, just movies I know will be fun/I've seen. Fifth Element, Mighty Ducks, Aliens, Last Action Hero, and Memento (which was incredibly cool how they did it) are the ones I've listened to since 2020.

Something about actual play just irritates me, especially for D&D. I'd just rather play myself

[–] Zombiepirate 2 points 6 months ago

Oh sure, I just think there's some overlap because the cast on Dungeons & Daddies are all filmmakers themselves so they go for more of a cinematic presentation than any other D&D podcast I've heard.

Personally I wouldn't play D&D again because it's not my kind of system, but they don't waste your time like other AP podcasts I've tried.

But hey if it's not your thing, no big deal; it's kind of a nice thing to know about yourself.
