Podcast Reccomendations

Is this in the right sub forum? If not, please move it to where it belongs.

Does anyone have any links to good gaming podcasts? I'm being purely selfish here, I spend all day driving a van, so I want something to listen to.

So if anyone has any good links, feel free to them here.

Not gaming, but The White Vault is a great Mythos-style story.

Could be quite intensely detailed for casual listening though

The BBC did a bunch of Lovecraft stories as podcasts. That's worth checking out, too.

Not quite gaming but I watched some episodes of Trash Taste, which is a podcast done by some anime youtubers. If you think of it as a sort of Top Gear for weebs, you wouldn't be a million miles off; two of the presenters are Poms and the other one is Australian. It's just 3 dudes talking shite on camera, but the presenters have great chemistry and the podcast has loads of energy. I'm not a serious anime fanboy any more than I am a petrolhead, but I enjoy watching it or putting on in the background for much the same reasons as I used to enjoy Top Gear.

I'm slowly working my way through it now. I think I've watched or listened to about 20 episodes of it over the past few weeks and I havent' gotten bored of it yet. The individual episodes are about two hours long, so they're quite good to put on in the background while you're doing something else, and it's definitely light enough to pick up and put down as you want to.

I've enjoyed some of the stuff recommended in this thread:

Please recommend me a podcast *about* RPGs (*not* an Actual Play)

I've got a week-plus of time off coming up, and I was thinking of filling some of it with listening to some podcasts on the topic of RPGs. As stated in the title, I am not looking for Actual Plays. I would also prefer something that is not D&D-centric, which I'm sure narrows my options quite a...

I have listened to Happy Jacks RPG Podcast for many years now, and I think as far as advice show I think it's one of the best. It was funnier before, but is still good.

Lately I have started to follow Savage Interludes which although focused on Savage Worlds is very good on general advice on gaming.

The best I've found is The Good Friends of Jackson Elias. A British podcast about Lovecraft, horror gaming in general, etc.

 

[Voros]

Good Friends... is good.

The Brits tend to do the best gaming podcasts in my experience. They don't ramble about their weekends and tend to have better production.

One exception, although I believe one of the hosts is British, is Fear of a Black Dragon who review mostly OSR and some classic D&D adventures.

What Would the Smart Party Do? covers a lot of different rpgs with good humour.

Grognard Files does an excellent job detailing UK rpg history with some excellent interviews with important 80s designers and editors from GW, etc.

Fictoplasm is a great combination of fantasy/sf book review and ideas of how to use them in rpgs.

Bastionland by Chris McDowall (Into the Odd, Electric Bastionland) is a good series of interviews with OSR and other game designers.

 

[Brock Savage]

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. Not gaming but since so many gamers are into history I think of the subject as gaming adjacent.

My favorite podcast (podcast production) hands-down is The Adventure Zone. It's three brothers and their dad playing Dungeons and Dragons. They are absolutely hysterical. If you liked the D&D episode of Community or just like funny nerdy stuff, it’s perfect.
