Who am I?
I'm a GM with over 15 years of tabletop experience, and a podcast enthusiast! I love everything about worldbuilding and exploring those worlds with your friends. I know first-hand what it feels like to be addicted to sitting at the table. You need to roll dice. You need to attempt wild acrobatic stunts. You NEED to stab every treasure chest before you open it. I want to share my love for TTRPGs with the rest of the world who sees them the way I do! D&D has always been where I spend a huge amount of my life, from planning for my own campaigns to listening to others. Playing with friends at the table is a great way to explore life, to relax - or become engaged. It's about as varied and versatile as real life, and it'd be a shame to miss out on that.

Bucket of Milk
Play first episode
In this improvised narrative role playing podcast, come and join artists, writers, and comedians from Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Marvel Comics, and more as they fight and fumble their way across the madcap, and exceedingly rude, fantasy wasteland of Cordelia. Branson Reese and his jester's retinue, Christopher Hastings, Carly Monardo, Tim Platt, Joe Lepore, and Ali Fisher star as a group of unlikely survivors (a talking crow, a lich in a wig, a bubbly fawn, a Sasquatch punk, and a tiefling hunk, specifically) who must solve the mystery of Polaris University's vanishment and return balance and higher education to their world. It's going to be very hard and very, very, rude.
