One of the best D&D podcasts around. Yes it hasn't updated for a while, but the currently existing episodes are worth a listen twice over for the amazing cast and crew who inhabit extremely fun and interesting characters. The format is great as well. And a little birdie has chirped that Season 5 is in the works...
