Ok, risky question, but…
What really puts you off an Actual Play podcast?

This is something we’re really conscious of (and still something that slips through the cracks), but Lauren is right, it’s so important to help anyone listening to visualise an audio-described scene.
Many excellent replies here already, so I'll add one I've not seen: forgetting it's a podcast.
Act with your voice and/or describe what your character is doing and feeling. We can't see you frown.
If there's combat, describe where you go. You can't just go "there" on the map.
Use your words!!!

In @dicecompany.bsky.social 's Small Embers podcast, story threads built up over 86 prior chapters hit like an atomic freight train of revelations in the latest episode. Ch. 87 is a stunning, epic, mind-blowing payoff well worth the price of admission & then some. No cap. Is that still a thing? 😜

Fascinating how sensitive people are to sound - poor audio, silences, crosstalk, sound FX/music, people eating/belching (seriously!)
We hear you. We work hard to provide a clean, crisp audio experience - cutting crosstalk without losing a sense of real people having fun around a table 🎧🎲

Click bait headline aside. The simple answer is: no. And the more complicated answer is: also no. AP as an art form is at an early stage, and for those of us toying with form/presentation in this bonkers medium, I’d welcome thousands more.

New from TTRPG Insider: One of those questions I've been asking myself is about how 'big' Actual Play content can get. There are a lot of folks who are really excited to create in this space. But are there too many shows already? www.ttrpginsider.news/p/are-there-...
Are There Too Many Actual Plays?
An in-depth exploration of the actual play phenomenon: Are we witnessing an oversaturation of TTRPG performances, or just the beginning of a vibrant content landscape?

Not an exaggeration to say recording these were some of the most brain-melting hilarity and all-round terribleness we’ve ever done. And almost all were unable to get through without laughing at their own words. Wonderful!
