In this episode of the I Can’t Sleep Podcast, drift off while learning about Dungeons and Dragons, the king of role-playing games that began in the 1970s. I almost played a campaign once. I made it as far as creating a character and rolling the dice a few times before realizing how long it would take—and deciding I needed sleep more than an epic quest. But after diving into all that Wikipedia has to offer about this legendary game, I’m intrigued about giving it another shot. What do you think? Do you play? Am I missing out? Happy sleeping!

In this episode of the I Can’t Sleep Podcast, drift off while learning about the Naultinus, a fascinating gecko native to New Zealand. Thanks to our sponsor Guy Pryor, I discovered more about this unique lizard than I ever imagined.
