ZOMG. Okay, so I might be a little excited about my next challenge because I absolutely love what I’ll be covering. Although I’ve listened to podcasts for years, I was never really a regular audience member, eagerly awaiting each episode, but after bingeing the first arc of The Adventure Zone, I was hooooooooked. 

The podcast started as kind of a one-off episode on the McElroy brother’s primary podcast, My Brother, My Brother, and Me (or as McElroy stans call it, MBMBAM “ma-bim-bam”), and it got such a positive response that they just created The Adventure Zone instantly. The three brothers – Justin, Travis, and Griffin – and their father, Clint, get together and play D&D, and while it sounds like you have to be a nerd to enjoy it, I say, “Nay! You do not!” You’ll get just as swept up in the incredible story and feel emotions for disembodied voices more quickly than a kobold is cleft in twain by a barbarian’s sword.
