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!

  • The only reason I have patreon

    Sometimes the perfect podcast is one that occasionally goes in one ear and out the other, sometimes makes you laugh until you cry, and otherwise is just generally amusing. That’s the most honest review I could give. I love this show more than any other.
