The best podcasts for table top role play games and life

Who am I?

I'm a lover of podcasts and of tabletop role-playing games. I appreciate the depth of what these games offer. I like learning about people and about life. I love it. I grew up with it. It's helped me when times were tough. It was something that wasn't embraced fully by others when I was a kiddo, but it definitely seems to be more mainstream these days, which is really cool.

What is my podcast playlist about?

Tabletop role-playing games and all the great things about it. I try to add a few different types of these style podcasts, commentary, conversation, and active play.

The podcasts I picked and why

1. Session Zero

Why this podcast?

Two guys who love tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons have a very casual yet informative conversation about the games they love but also talk about how these games can change and affect our lives. A deeper dive into life but also yet very fun and funny.

It involves Cthulu roleplay. Enough said, or is it? I mean I love this genre and it is fun to hear it acted out in this podcast.
