Role-playing-related (actual play sessions)
- The Adventure Zone (relative newbs to RPGs play D&D with their dad. Funny. Very imaginative DMing. Starts with the Mines of Phandelver campaign but quickly goes off track)
- Critical Hit: A Dungeons and Dragons Campaign
- Drunks and Dragons (drunk D&D... I found it loses its charm quickly)
- Hello from the Magic Tavern (absurd and hilarious. I mentioned it in a previous e-mail)
- Nerd Poker (professional comedians play D&D)
- One Shot (A rotating group play a one shot campaign, usually lasting only a few sessions, of various indie RPGs. Neat to hear about new games and interesting takes on mechanics.
- Party of Four (Hilarious, absurd, and Canadian. Mostly improvised role-playing with no real system attached. Neat mechanics and crazy imagination)
- 99% Invisible ("Explore the hidden side of everything.")
- Freakonomics Radio
- Invisibilia
- Love+Radio
- Radiolab

- Snap Judgment
- Stuff to Blow Your Mind (science-related podcast)
- The Moth (real people telling real life stories)
- The School Sucks Show: Education Evolution (very leftist and critical about schooling, but good for perspective. Heavily liberatian view of the world.)
