As we do every year, we took public nominations and then asked everybody to vote for their favourite tabletop RPG podcasts of 2021! Thousands of votes later (in the TALK and ACTUAL PLAY categories), we counted down the results last week on our podcast! But for those who are looking for podcasts but don't want to listen to a podcast, here's the list in text format!
There are two categories, ACTUAL PLAY and TALK. The winner of each category each year enters the Hall of Fame!

1 Sweden Rolls
Four actors play the best of swedish RPGs with one of Swedens most experienced and appreciated podcast GMs.
2 Ain't Slayed Nobody Podcast
Call of Cthulhu comedy-horror podcast riding through the American Old West. Saddle up as we turn femurs into mist and canteens into grenades. Tombstone meets The Thing meets The Adventure Zone.
3 The Old Ways Podcast
It’s a weekly Tabletop RPG show in an actual play format where a group of great role-players serve up their character’s experiences in new and published scenarios. We are currently recording our Call of Cthulhu group, but in the future we will invade other universes!
4 Grizzly Peaks Radio
An Actual Play podcast covering Call of Cthulhu, Tales from the Loop and others. Join me Andy Goodman from Expedition to the Grizzly Peaks and our rotating cast of gaming luminaries.

7 Tale of the Manticore
Tale of the Manticore is a hybrid between a dark fantasy audio drama and a solo D&D RPG. The dice make all the important decisions and, as a writer, my job is to interpret them and tell their story. Part fiction, part game, it’s the story where “Chaos rolls.”

Dames & Dragons is a comedy Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition actual play podcast with a detailed original setting, lots of stupid jokes, a mystery or two, and some fumbling attempts at heroism.
9 The Billowing Hilltop
A Dungeons & Dragons actual play podcast. Ancient Brits play D&D 5E as they lurch headlong through the classic Paizo Age of Worms Adventure Path! Join us at our table for a mix of adventure, laughs and hapless incompetence. But mostly hapless incompetence.
