Great podcast for a great game!
The in-depth discussion and varied perspectives on the game Blood On The Clocktower found in this podcast is great. It’s enriched my experience of playing the game and has inspired me to learn more about the game while improving my gameplay.
Andrew is a great host with a great eye for corner cases and interesting details about the game that might go unnoticed by other players or people interested in the game. His guests are all great to listen to and are experts themselves.
All in all this is the best place to listen to in-depth discussions on BOTC and it’s myriad characters.

Moreover, Andrew is incredibly consistent in his output. He's been putting out a well-edited episode biweekly for over a year, quickly becoming one of the most visible members in the BOTC community. The Podcast is embraced by the game designers themselves, who are often featured.
BOTC is a brilliant, one-of-a-kind game which is worthy of extra attention and Cult of the Clocktower is the most entertaining way to learn more about it.
Great game Great Podcast
I love this game as I with family played at various conventions. I’m a little scared about playing without the expert storytellers. But these podcasts are great introduction to the game and storytelling.
