A fun taste of gaming!
This podcast does a great job of editing out the boring parts of listening to other people gaming and keeps things moving, while still keeping the rough informal reality of a role playing game. It’s not TOO polished as to feel fake or contrived, but it’s super accessible and easy and fun to listen to!
