Please be patient as we switch our podcast host from Spotify to Captivate. You may need to refresh your podcatcher subscriptions as the switch happens.
Spotify did nothing for us, and even if they did, this was an easy decision to make. Fuck ICE and fuck Spotify.

For all my fellow LGBTQ+ TTRPG AP podcasts out there, a question...
Is there a Discord space people know of where pods can come together and support one another ?
If not, is there interest in one?
I've been ruminating on some things this weekend and toying with creating something.

In 2025 if your online community (regardless of topic) has a hard line of no-politics.. you're not actually creating a safe space for people.

Spotify is running ICE ads.
It's not political.
I lost 1/3 of one of my classes because of a fucking ICE raid. I have a coworker who is afraid to visit her family in Mexico. I have students visiting family now that idk if I'll see them again next week.
So fuck ICE AND FUCK SPOTIFY.

Choosing to be silent or enforcing silence on politics only ever helps the oppressor.
The look the other way generation got it wrong, and got us into the mess we're in now.

Review swap? Is that a thing? Like, an honest, but not-negative review4review?
Hey you know what the Actual play space needs? The normalization of peer reviewing shows. Nothing negative. I feel like as creators we consume less and less in our own space. We should change that.
When I was in comics I read other comics, why should it be different now?
Also bring back Game Feels

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;
most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!
well, we do. so fuck off.
