These days, everyone has a podcast. I started podcasting over a decade ago, back when there were few, if any, services to get you off the ground, back before “podcast” was a euphemism for group of white guys, back when most people didn’t even know what the hell a podcast was.
It all started as a silly reason to talk Star Wars with my friends. One thing led to another, and soon I was making video games and teaching others how to do the same, delivering the latest in tech news to a live weekly audience, and playing tabletop role playing games with fellow improv comics.
Thanks to podcasting, I now have a job producing YouTube videos.
Game Dev’s Quest
A weekly podcast following two friends as they learn to make video games. What started as a way to hold ourselves accountable, morphed into our first true understanding of building an online community. The skills I developed as a result of this podcast are the direct reason I’m now at Craft Computing.
Inn at the End
Originally called Chaotic Amateurs, Inn at the End is a weekly Dungeons and Dragons actual-play podcast. When we started, there were only a handful of DnD shows, and somehow we’ve even outlasted some of our favorites. Inn at the End boasts 3 complete story arcs, a handful of one-shots, and an almost weekly meta talk show called, Crit Files, in which we unpack each session, sharing our favorite moments, and analyzing our choices.
Duel of Taints
An obvious play on the iconic “Duel of the Fates”, this was our first podcast, and featured me and Kane arguing about Star Wars, Star Wars adjacent topics, and pop culture through a Star Wars lens.
A Game at Dinner
A Game at Dinner was one of my favorite projects, and somehow, with only 10 episodes, continues to be one of my most successful projects. A Game at Dinner was a Morrowind focused podcast which made it’s home among the awesome community on r/Morrowind on reddit.
Awesome Book Club
The name says it all. It was an awesome book club dedicated to exploring diverse perspective, challenging topics, and the bounds of our own bias.
