I haven't listened to any since I no longer spend my work day in the car, but if you're a dork like me, you might enjoy:
Tales from the Magic Tavern: A man from Chicago gets sucked into a portal and finds himself in a fantasy world of wizards, Orcs, and a nasty little shapeshifting badger. There is a structured plot line, but all dialogue is improvised.
Hey Riddle Riddle: That nasty little badger from Magic Tavern started his own podcast that focuses on riddles. They ask each other riddles and the listener can try to solve them as the hosts figure it out. Also, full of silly improv scenes between riddles
Dungeons & Daddies: Follows a D&D game in which a group of dads and their sons are transported from our world into the Forgotten Realms. The Dads must use their newfound D&D powers to save their children. Very funny, AMAZING STORY. The DM does a great job, and was a lead writer for Borderlands 2, if that means anything to you.
Get Played: Originally they only covered terrible or bizarre video games, but expanded to weird/ mind bending games. They introduced me to some really good underrated Indy games.
Here's the Situation: Two Improvisors that present each other with scenarios and they just give their honest opinion on it. For example, of you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life, what would it be? What if there was an organized draft (like in sports) and only one person could claim each candy? How much do you think you could sell an actual magic item for on eBay? They ended it years ago, but it was fun to bring the situations back to my family and see what they thought.
I'm an indy game fan, Get Played sounds interesting.
Like I said, I haven't listened in a while, but I do remember that they convinced me to play Edith Finch, Hypnospace Outlaw, and Onion boy commits tax evasion. All very good games.
But it started as How Did This Get Played? So, the first few seasons are a lot of tearing apart terrible games like Michael Jordan in the Windy City, and James Pond.
~~Have you tried Dungeons & Daddies? Freddy Wong (Rocketjump Youtube channel) and friends play DnD (Slight spoiler: Hey Riddle Riddle join in for a couple of episodes)~~
Oops, I reread the comment. Great podcast tho!
So good! I haven't had time to listen to season 2. It's probably about over by now, last I remember hearing was a cat bus and anthropomorphic calzones.
