HIJK posted:a summary of every play podcast ever: *action and talk is interrupted by 5 minute stretches of fwipfwipfwipfwipfwipfwip as the GM looks something up in the book and the players start messing with their phones to distract themselves* I was listening to an actual play podcast with iffy audio levels so I turned the sound up. They were going through a horror campaign and the scariest part was a dog barking into the microphone at deafening volume

OK this is going to sound like a crazy request but here we are. One episode of Retronauts the crew played Zork (https://retronauts.com/article/564/exploring-zork-with-special-guest-jeff-green) and I freaking loved it. Are there any decent podcast that do an "interactive fiction" where one person reads the text adventure game and one/two (or more?) try to play the game? Basically is there an audio only "Let's Play Text Adventure Games"?

Nude posted:Seconding this would love a podcast that goes in depth on game design in general. Modifier does this. I think there's also another podcast on the One Shot network that does this as well. Also, the Pathfinder Academy appropriately enough, covers the rules of Pathfinder, which may or may not be what you're people are looking for. I actually enjoy the podcast even though I no longer play Pathfinder very often.

Gary Butterfield, one of the guys behind watch out for fireballs and bonfireside chat, does a stream called Choose Your Illusion every week. he plays through assorted CYOAs, with the gimmick that it's permadeath: If he reaches an ending, the book's over, and onto the next one. There's a youtube archive as well https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9QK7buty4An8H1zTRt0m2NYfyVR9izLb https://www.twitch.tv/duckfeedtv the stream's every friday at 6

But this was an oversight on my part because System Mastery is definitely great and deconstructs both good and bad games in a funny way, and if anything the bad games teach more about what makes a game good.

Oh yeah, we did that episode on heartbreakers with James way back in the day. It was called like Critical Success or something. Back when the weird Peaches & Hot Sauce name was a thing. That was a weird interview. He had literally just heard our show for the first time and also heard the term heartbreaker for the first time and figured with what we do we'd probably know all about it. We didn't, and just read that article where the guy introduces the term and went from there.

Tried Worst Episode Ever and fell off it a while ago (though I've heard it sucks less now?) and Talking Simspons just bored me. I'd recommend the Sam Levine episode where they discuss Radioactive Man, if you want an example of how good it can get.

Can anyone recommend any podcasts with a decent panel format? The fplus has completely ruined the standard "two guys talking back and forth at each other with occasional guests" for me forever. Bonus round: At least one female regular, or multiple female non-regulars. Super bonus round: Female podcast members not talked over constantly by male podcast members. e: should probably specify that by panel I just mean that it has a bunch of people per show with at least some interaction between them, not the british panel show format.

I find this so frustrating. I stopped listening to how did this get made because the woman who was the funniest person on the show constantly got interrupted and shouted over by the men to say something less interesting than what she was in the middle of. War on the rocks is an all woman national security panel discussion if that interests you.

A round table of women comedians in the comedy scene. They talk about current events but also have great banter. It's a good f-plus like show I would say, although different subject matter.

Shnooks posted:I want to listen to video game podcasts that are funny and not about tabletop gaming. Also I don’t want to have to pay money to listen. Do they exist? I'm a big fan of the stuff on the https://duckfeed.tv network. Watch Out for Fireballs is a long-form book-club but for games, with plenty of humor and a lighter tone than you're probably worrying about. If you aren't enjoying the intro sketch they do in the old episodes, skip until the jingle, they can be pretty labored. Abject Suffering is the same guys doing a more explicit comedy thing. It's ostensibly a bad games review but it turns into a more general chat most of the time since there's only so much you can say about snes mascot platformers. There's some reccomended starting points listed that are great because if you don't know the hosts you might not care about the derail subject. there's a bunch of other shows on the network. Everything's pretty good although some are more niche or have a strange sense of humour (I love Teenage Dirtbags but I found it confusing to start) So I'd see how the flagship shows go before diving deeper.

Optimus_Rhyme posted:Basically is there an audio only "Let's Play Text Adventure Games"? The Incomparable Game Show has done a few episodes of "Action Castle" where they play Parsely games, which are essentially old-school text adventures, but with a human GM playing the role of the parser/computer. Since it's multiplayer without collaboration, there is a fair bit of the episode where people are essentially fighting back and forth (or dealing with the one player who just doesn't get it or care). I'd also put forth the main Incomparable feed as a decent panel show (it's about pop culture, generally of the geeky kind). Probably more of the people on it are middle-aged white guys than not, but there are enough women involved that there's usually at least one on the panel.

Why do so many listener-supported podcasters seem to go out of their way to live in places like the Bay area, NYC, Portland, etc. that have huge cost of living expenses and then constantly grovel about struggling to make ends meet? I get why people who already work in careers in fields like television or stand-up that have are heavily focused on those areas and do podcasting as a side gig live there, and why shows that rely heavily on celebrity interviews are centered somewhere where a lot of celebrities live and work, but if it's just you and your internet buddies jawing about pop culture over Skype you could do that literally anywhere with zero difference on the end product. Well, zero negative difference; spending slightly less time humblebragging about how you haven't owned a car in years because you live in a trendy urban locale as you cry about not being able to afford rent or dentist visits in your ad breaks would be a net improvement for some shows.

I'm extremely into this conspiracy theory of 'the people doing podcasts actively choose to live in some of america's most populous cities with tons of resources for artists to encourage people at a young age out of a disdain for the proles' getting blended with the classic libertarian 'if at any time you have any problems with your city you need to pack up and move to dirtfuck nowhere because that's a thing everyone can do because it's cheap right'

Speaking as a podcaster living in expensive-rear end San Diego, I can affirm that most of the folks I know don't make the initial call to be a "professional podcaster" before their show exists anyway. I was working at a Trader Joes when I started reviewing RPG books as a hobby, and it took five years to get to the point where the show pays my rent, and we were exceedingly lucky, most shows die on the vine instead. Trying to explain to my girlfriend and the other guy on my show that we were moving to Mudwump, MN so our regulation Patreon-begging wouldn't ring false back when we were getting started would not have worked very well. Even now the cash we make, while enough to pay rent and bills, wouldn't pay to move us somewhere and buy a house from scratch. And we have a life here. Kids and family and everything. I'm supposed to move all them somewhere unrealistic for us so that people feel good about throwing us a buck for bonus content? That argument is the "welfare queens" of excuses to not support the shows you like. Plus not everyone records with their two brothers and lucked into Polygon gigs early on, so following the McElroys isn't a realistic career progression.
