Oh hi there, now that we got the click-bait title out of the way I wanted to drop some new shows on your face…er…ears. Here we goooo!

As Podcasting and Tabletop RPGs continue to move into the mainstream we wanted to highlight a few of our favorite shows that we have been following for some time or ones we stumbled upon while searching the interwebs. These are great listens for summer cleaning, quiet work from home days, or on walks!

We know you were expecting to see some Adventure Zone and Critical Role and while they are worthy, we wanted to highlight some other shows worth your attention.

Also, where normally we would link out to their independent websites to showcase their work we chose to link to their Podchaser pages — we love the site, it makes it easy to see who was on the show and a great place to rate/review it. #notsponsored. As always, if you like one of the shows be sure to rate and review it on Podchaser or wherever you may find your podcasts.

And last but not least, be sure to sign up to our newsletter for more articles like this where we hunt across the multiverse for shows, games, and talented creators for you to enjoy. And if you would like to have your show or project featured in a future article please shoot us an email with a link and we will try to add it where it makes sense in the future!

(And yes, we did sneak one of our own shows in there.)
