D&D 4E Podcasts - Any Good Ones Around?

[Herremann the Wise]

Hello Everyone,

I found the most recent podcast of Theory from the Closet with Mike Mearls to be both enlightening and entertaining - Clyde's presentation of questions was... interesting to say the least (having said that though, boy did he get some good responses from Mike so there is definitely something about his considered style). After a little effort, I cracked it in two and put it on CDs to listen to in the car to and from work. Excellent stuff Clyde and Mike!

Where as before, I've found podcasts more annoying than not, I think I can dig this whole listening to them in the car thing. Are there any other 4E or D&D podcasts or even just some good general gaming theory podcasts you guys can recommend?

Best Regards
Herremann the Wise

I like 2d6 Feet in a Random Direction in the "general gaming" category, among others.

Here's my self-promotion for the day:
The Critical Hits podcast (Podcast : Critical Hits)

For 4e specifically, check out these interviews:
Interview with Mike Mearls: Critical Hits Podcast #6: Interview with Mike Mearls : Critical Hits

Interview with James Wyatt: Critical Hits Podcast #7: Interview with James Wyatt : Critical Hits

Interview with Rob Heinsoo: Critical Hits Podcast #8: Interview with Rob Heinsoo : Critical Hits

There's always the WoTC D&D podcasts....though I find that they vary in quality and interesting stuff.

It's a decent podcast, but they need to drop a) the "in-character" bits, and b) the faux-questioning way they discuss things. You know, like "Really? As an elf, I can use a longsword, no matter what class I am?"

D&D-specific podcasts:

Radio Free Hommlet (really love this podcast as far as 4E is concerned)

The Tome Show (for all things D&D--including Pathfinder and other d20 stuff--and includes reviews & interviews)

3.5 Private Sanctuary (if you're still in the 3.xx phase...)

D&D Podcast (from the official source!)

There's also a couple of actual play recordings of 4E sessions here and there (usually at RPGMP3, Gamer's Haven, and Virtual Play).

Just visit Bibliophile Stalker: Podcast for a week-by-week breakdown of what gets released.

I have too many favorites as far as the "general" category is concerned.

It's also best to listen to podcasts when you're doing something else (i.e. driving, jogging, etc.). It's not optimal to listen to podcasts as your sole activity.

My new favorite gaming podcast.

Charming and fun, and I like how they are not afraid to look a little silly. I wouldn't change a thing.
