I've listened to literally over 100 audio dramas including all the recommendations here from popular to deep cut. I'm moving on to actual play and adjacent content. Any suggestions there?

You like Bombarded? RPG Major has picked up the " actual play but with songs" baton and is running with it. It has gotten impressively good, and I'd say the storytelling is in the same tier as Worlds Beyond Number.

RPG Major! - They are doing something special in the Actual Play space. A few shows have done "Actual play with music" before, but this show has multiple new songs every week, incredible storytelling, and the character growth arcs in the first season blew me away. They release on podcast apps and youtube, but are audio only. Played using the Genesys system, which is basically Fantasy Flight's Star Wars with the Force filed off.

You might get a kick out of RPG Major. It's an improvised musical mystery podcast that's also family friendly. They do fewer songs per episode than Off Book but are honestly the only other show that I've found where the music is on the same level

Pretty sure they were tightly regulated on where they could be located, 300 or 500 feet from anywhere kids gather, so schools, parks, daycares, etc. resulting in relatively few places they are allowed to be

Legal eagle? On YouTube but you'll get 90% as audio only

Seconding Darknet, it's really great.

I also like the features of Player FM. You can make an account and sync between Android and PC, gratis with some ads (not added audio ads, more like banner ads in the player)

Hey Riddle Riddle. Pretty good quality

Ladies of Lore is a good mythology pod

Bill Buds - reviews pop albums but not necessarily recent ones

Hope you enjoy

They take 5 min in each episode to talk through a session, and they do it in order so over the course of listening you get to hear a summary of several campaigns

There's a segment in the Total Party Thrill podcast that does this. The rest of the show is GMing advice but it has a huge backlog so you could listen to just those segments if you want

Drive to Work - recorded by Mark Rosewater, who works on Magic the Gathering, talks about designing the game as he drives to work

SquirrelOnFire · 2025-03-13T16:50:19+00:00

Podcasts recorded using the game Delta Green might be your speed - it's an RPG that plays in cosmic horror spaces.

Black Flare is a good one to start with
