Thanksgiving Travel Podcast Playlist

Thanksgiving travel is one of the best times to get reacquainted with your favorite podcasts. However, I talk to people all the time who are fairly new to podcasts, or they haven’t quite figured out how to work podcast-listening into their lives. First, you should definitely consider getting a podcatcher app for your phone. In my experience, a really well-made app makes finding, managing, and enjoying podcasts much easier. My favorite is an app called Pocket Casts, which is easily searchable on both the App Store and Google Play (it costs a couple bucks, but is totally worth it).

Once you’ve got a good app, you can go through a show’s backlog and download any episodes that seem interesting to you. I’ve put together a short list of choice episodes from our family of shows to get you started. This is also a good list for people who are fairly new to the Gauntlet and want to get a sampling of the things we’ve done in the past.

Also, don’t forget Comic Strip AP! Holiday travel would be a great time to check it out!

  1. Some specific recommendations from this lurker.

    +1 Forward is great for understanding the nuances and malleability of the Apocalypse Engine. It’s especially useful for novice designers like me who bang their heads against the walls of design. The Uncharted Worlds episode shows the flexibility of the playbooks. The Saga of the Icelanders, Velvet Glove, and Masks episodes show how move selection (almost more than anything else) sets the tone of play.

    Discern Realities is great for understanding the art of play, both for the player and GM. Jason and David’s question/answer exchanges in the comic strip actual play (AP) segments were the highlight for me, personally. Since Jason didn’t plug it, I’ll point out that the “trade paperback” version of Ramshackle Crow’s AP segments is available to Patreon supporters at any level.

  3. A side note. I don’t recommend listening to the Bluebeard’s Bride episode of +1 Forward while driving. Sarah’s narration overwhelmed my visual processing. Don’t be like me and almost rear-end someone.

  5. Great recommendations, Jason Cordova! If you’re like me, and have finally caught up with all of the offerings that the Gauntlet podcast community have created, I would like to humbly offer some other gaming podcasts that you might enjoy during your dreary commute:

  7. River Williamson I’m glad you mentioned that about DR. I think a lot of people see “A Dungeon World Podcast” and are turned-off by it because they don’t play Dungeon World. In fact, DR has become something of an extended treatise on good play. I think there is advice in there applicable to almost any game or system.

  11. Alongside RPGs, podcasts are my favourite entertainment medium. They’re certainly the one I consume the most of, these days – I’ve clocked up thousands of hours in the last four years. I’m going to recommend a few that I think might interest people:

    Another Question (http://www.anotherquestion.com/) is an RPG podcast hosted by Sage LaTorra (co-author of Dungeon World) and Adam Blinkinsop. They cover a lot of similar territory to the Gauntlet podcasts, with a slightly different format and perspective.

    Idle Thumbs (https://www.idlethumbs.net/idlethumbs) is my favourite podcast on videogames. They have a similarly deep and considered (yet informal and amusing) approach as the Gauntlet podcast, but focusing on the digital realm.

    If you want to branch out from gaming, Gimlet Media (https://gimletmedia.com/) have a whole suite of fantastic podcasts with extremely high production values. I’d start with Reply All (about the internet), Heavyweight (about going back and dealing with unfinished business), or the (now sadly discontinued) Mystery Show (about solving obscure mysteries). Each episode of any of those will give you an intimate and enthralling story to get lost in for an hour or so. You might even find something that inspires a game session or character concept (see how I tied that back in??).

    TL;DR: Listen to podcasts. They’re great.

  13. What would an “after market” app like Pocket Casts offer that the default podcast app on my device (I.e., iPhone) does not? My listening enjoyment is quite high… but can it be higher?
