Arnie Niekamp fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King into the fantastical land of Foon. He's still getting a slight wifi signal, so he uploads a weekly podcast from the tavern the Vermilion Minotaur where he interviews wizards, monsters and adventurers. It's a major discovery!

    This is my favorite and only podcast. My Wife has recently got me into it. I never really listened to podcasts before. I love Usidore. And I like the other characters.

  • Stupid good

    Very funny. The boys are great and Flower is my favorite. Sniffen’s bookends have continued to make me laugh and poking fun at the cast is another layer of comedic enjoyment.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 5, Ep 90 - Fool (w/ Jonathan Coulton)
Q: What makes crowd work a core part of your act, and how do you balance it with the king's expectations?
Crowd work is a safety net and a way to stay connected with the audience; it can be used to flatter or gently critique, but must be done with sensitivity to the king's authority and the context of the room.
Season 5, Ep 90 - Fool (w/ Jonathan Coulton)
Q: How did you get into fooling, Phineas, and was your father involved in your path?
Phineas explains he has always been a fool, with family encouragement early on, and gradually built his career from smaller courts to larger venues, learning the craft through practice and audience interaction.
Season 5, Ep 86 - Gianessa Now (w/ Dana Quercioli)
Q: Gianessa, can I ask you for another favor?
Can you provide a way for us to communicate if Hog's Face is in danger?
Season 5, Ep 84 - Sword Bro in Pizza Hell (w/ Erika Ishii)
Q: How's your dating life been in Pizza Hut?
It's hard to find someone who appreciates the finer things, like a horde of treasure.
Season 5, Ep 84 - Sword Bro in Pizza Hell (w/ Erika Ishii)
Q: Did you die, like when we saw you last?
I lost so much blood there. But no, actually, I managed to staunch the flow of blood and got back to full health before dying.
