    S7E4 - Chatting with Rowan Zeoli

    In this episode, I chat with journalist Rowan Zeoli about tabletop roleplaying games & the exploding live group storytelling phenomeon that is Actual Play. We chat shows like Critical Role & Dimension 20, discuss the politics of roleplaying, & what journalism & nonfiction writing are for in a shifting & tricky media landscape. There, I said 'media landscape' for the first & last time in my life. Enjoy it.
