Great, light hearted and still very interesting and informative. If you’re interested in RPGs, especially from the indie scene and people playing them with an audience, don’t hesitate to lend Talk of the Table an ear.
One of my favourite podcasts talking about TTRPGs and game design. I am consistently inspired by the conversations, and have discovered so many cool artists and art through it as well! Several of my art projects both completed and in development wouldn’t exist without Many Sided Media!!
Every episode of Talk of the Table, I learn something about the craft of TTRPGs and/or actual play. The hosts are excellent interviewers and bring both knowledge and curiosity to these conversations.
