    Shardae and Alyssa are masterful in their performance as co-hosts, and often bring to light issues within the TTRPG world, especially some of the mainstream games. They do so in a fun and charismatic way. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone!

I’d sum the podcast up as funny, fair, and fascinating. They also discuss how to make your table more inclusive and welcoming. All in all a fun, unique podcast that’... more

  • Great Feminist Podcast

    The Slovenly Trulls bill themselves as a feminist Dungeons and Dragons podcast. Their name is taken from the advanced dungeons and dragons "harlot" table published in 1979 (which is hilarious)

    However, I'd say they're just a great feminist podcast in general. They do their research and really put the time into analyzing things in a healthy way. There's no "man hate" here, other than a healthy disdain for the patriarchy, which we should all have, in my opinion as a 30 something cis male game... more
