Three Black Halflings | A Dungeons & Dragons Podcast

Spoiler Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3 during Samantha's Tale from the Table. This week! Jeremy Cobb, Liv Kennedy and Candace the Magnificent are joined by BAFTA-nominated actor and voice artist Samantha Béart - the brilliant vocal talent behind characters such as Karlach in Baldur’s Gate 3, Thomasina Bateman in The Excavation of Hobb's Barrow, Oracle in TRON: Catalyst, and many more! The Halflings chat with them about Samantha’s Shakespearean roots, lifelong love of storytelling, and how that classical training influences Samantha's modern voice work. Samantha opens up about the thought process behind bringing characters to life, the value of finding your people, and discusses intersectionality and the importance of rising above challenges to succeed together. The conversation also explores the story behind their show It Takes a Village, its upcoming new season, and why celebrating the people behind the scenes in media truly matters!

This week! Join Candace, Liv and Jeremy for a much-needed conversation about one of fantasy’s laziest tropes: “evil races.” From the reductive storytelling of Good vs. Evil to the way TTRPGs treat so-called monster races as throwaway enemies, used more for easy combat than meaningful storytelling, the Halflings break down how these shortcuts feed into fantasy racism, and why it’s time to move past them. Plus, a look at how Star Trek gets it right by exploring difference without defaulting to moral absolutes.
