Best Podcast Period

Shane and Ishaan have the best podcast period for role players. I'm a first time player trying to gain some system mastery in order to become a DM. The audio quality is great and the advice is excellent. Their advice is so good, that I managed to listen to 172 episodes in the last 2 months, but unfortunately now my commutes are boring again. Therefore, I figured I should finally sign up for an apple account, install iTunes on my computer and leave them a review. Forget the stars, there is no higher praise than that. Also, if you aren't donating on Patreon yet, they deserve that too.

You did this!

Because of this podcast Eberon has leaked into all my rpgs. The day of mourning has become a running plot point in my Pathfinder campaign set on Golarion. These hosts are fantastic and I’ve gone back and listened to the back catalogue at least twice. It makes great mini painting background noise. Thank you for all the great content on a weekly basis. Always excited when Thursday rolls around and I have a new TPT. 5 stars.
