Who am I?

I'm a writer, voice actor, and GM who's been working at 'em all for twenty years. Few things make me happy like sitting down to a good table with great chemistry and players who are eager to collaborate. I've written in a ton of mediums: film, tv, comics, stage plays, novels & short stories, and audio dramas. Audio remains one of my favorite storytelling mediums. *Collaborative* storytelling through games has been one of my great joys.

What is my podcast playlist about?

It's about incredible actual play TTRPGs you can follow along with at home! Whether it's a game of D&D or something more niche like Doctor Who, they all have important things in common: Great storytelling Dynamite team chemistry Compelling game action

The podcasts I picked and why

1. Anywhere But Now

Why this podcast?

I love a great audio adventure, and *part* of that comes down to production values. On top of being a dynamite adventure story across Time and Space, 'Anywhere But Now' mixes SFX and incredible music from Tabletop Audio for an immersive listening experience. You feel like you're listening to an episode of Doctor Who, or Big Finish! But instead, you're getting to meet *new* Time Lords, face *new* monsters as well as old, and go on new adventures! Familiar, but refreshing!

3. Dimension 20

Why this podcast?

I love everything about D20. From the player chemistry at the table, to Brennan Lee Mulligan's masterclass in DMing, to the *compelling* action & storylines that carry the story, it's always a good time for my ears.

4. Storybreakers

Why this podcast?

A D&D adventure about a handful of reporters in a deep fantasy setting is so wonderfully unique, and so well-executed. Well worth a listen!
