Nerdcognito - Episode 223: Grim Jim and the TTRPG Hobby's Toxic Cancel Culture
Hot on the heels of Nerdcognito getting de-platformed on YouTube after an alleged cancel culture report strike -- and the RD having his personal account targeted and wiped as well -- we look at cancel culture in the hobby in general. Who better to bring in for this discussion but "Grim" James Desborough? Jim gives his perspective on the hobby and insight into targeted harassment campaigns as both a victim and an observer. Plus, Jim sits in for the remainder of the show to have some fun with the news!

SPECIAL Nerdcognito - Episode 219: Discomfiting Dialogue with Daniel D. Fox (friend of the show?!?)
Nerdcognito talks to... Daniel D. Fox?!? (yes, THAT Daniel D. Fox) Uh oh.
"Infamous" RD and Kyle sit down with the "notorious" Daniel D. Fox, creator of Zweihander, alleged destructor of The Trove, and all around polarizing figure in the TTRPG space. Publicly politically misaligned with the guys AND potentially on the opposite end of the gaming spectrum, what odd cosmic alignment brought these two forces together? Tough questions will be asked, and hopefully answered. Could an impossible alliance be formed? Does someone storm out? Is there punch and pie?
Be sure to sit back and enjoy one of the very rare interviews given by the one and only Daniel D. Fox.

Customer Reviews
Added to my list of favorite RPG podcasts!
Ryan and Bert are a knowledgeable pair in the sphere of RPDdom. Entertaining and fun. Worth a listen.
;(
you know when a podcast makes you feel like you’d wanna be friends with them? this is the opposite of that
Atrocious Podcast Filled With An Even Worse Cast
There’s a reason this is rated so low on both Apple Podcasts AND Spotify. This is run by truly horrible people :)
