P.s. I hope one day the d&d-media scene will expand beyond LA. Some variety in the way they play and run games would go a long way.

Podcasts, Twitch and YouTube don't care about geography. If this is a commercial success (I'm not sure how that will be measured -- is WotC marketing absorbing some of these costs?), then I'd expect a lot of folks around the world to get their turn on a slightly (let's not go crazy; this is just a FAST channel) bigger stage.

Even a local cable access studio would be an upgrade from "Tom has the biggest dining room table, so we play there," which is the typical "studio" set-up for actual plays.

Too bad Freevee only seems to be available in the US. I probably would have enjoyed the cooking show a lot.

I think they will probably license this content out overseas, to bring in more revenue.

Ok... what is a FAST channel?

Honestly, I'm hoping the cooking show is something I and the Mrs. can watch together.

It's exciting to realize that the internet has progressed to the point where it's now invented broadcast television.

Streaming at a compressed bit rate! So the picture might not even be as good as you get with an antenna....

It's also on Plex, which is less well known, but available almost everywhere. From Plex's website

Plex offers global ad-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) content, reaching users in more than 200 countries, making it the most widely available AVOD offering in the world.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if it winds up on Pluto, the Paramount-owned FAST

Encounter Party is based in Chicago, though they did fly out to LA to tape this show.
