  • Cringy preaching spoils the longwinded imagination drift that serves for entertainment. Imagine religious, government-sponsored radio doing paint-by-numbers PSA content, and fielding creative people to side-eye each other and squeak out a nervous laugh under skin-tight creative constraints.

  • Great show

    An actual play that mostly uses game mechanics as improv cues for enjoyable audio dramas. Interesting and developed characters, original plots, great production quality.

    Really been enjoying the Regency stories.

  • Call of Cthulhu actual play OUTSTANDING!

    This podcast has a real charm and makes podcasting horror not only scary, but really fun too.

    Newman takes investigators through cosmic horrors from all kinds of writers in the genre.

    Can’t recommend it enough. They also have some big names from Cthulhu join them at the table. 🤩

    Loved Mike Mason’s burgundy bow tie! 😂
