  • Not as good as it once was

    Should be renamed Candace and Her Friends. You’ll still get good discussion, but know the conversation is going to be dominated by one person.

  • Absolutely brilliant storytelling and real talk

    So wonderful to hear people create content we just never get to hear. TBH honors, explores and celebrates their lived experiences and creates stories that are the roller coaster of emotions that great creativity demands. Jump in.

    Spider Queen and Black Rose campaigns are vivid worlds that leave you always wanting more. The story telling in this podcast is my favorite amongst the many D&D podcasts I listen too. Thank you for producing such an entertaining listen each week.

  • Great

    Overall interesting & engaging. I’ve learned so much listening to this show, from the hosts & the guests, too. The actual play is super fun and very bingeable. Tales of Wagadu is especially good and I hope they revisit that world again! This podcast has one issue- there is too much interrupting (like so many other podcasts), please let each other finish their thought(s)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“Get hit by a bus and Profit” - The Danielle Radford Interview
Q: Lost count. Danielle, now we've been talking a little bit about Dimension 20. How did it come about that you got involved in Dimension 20?
She describes how pre-existing work with Dropout and connections through colleagues led to being invited to contribute, followed by growing involvement as her on-screen chemistry and improvised approach proved valuable.
“Trust and Trauma” - Black Community and Mental Health Part 2
Q: Can reliance on AI for therapy be problematic?
Yes, AI lacks the ability to pick up subtle cues and is not equipped to handle the nuances of human emotion.
“Trust and Trauma” - Black Community and Mental Health Part 2
Q: How would you describe the black community's relationship to therapy?
The needs are different for sure, particularly regarding representation and understanding cultural challenges.
“Personal Stories” - Indie AP Production Roundtable
Q: How does the need for representation as well as your own blackness inform how you move within the space?
The roots of my desire to tell stories are to show not just myself, but people like me, that we have a right to take up space.
“Personal Stories” - Indie AP Production Roundtable
Q: What is your approach to choosing the stories you tell?
We like to start with themes that interest us, work on bringing different themes of characterization, and focus on messages of hope.
