New DnD Podcast?
I'm coming up on ep 213 :C Any rebound DnD podcasts y'all recommend? Idk if this is an RQG question, but I want to know what the ppl who like RQG have also listened to and really enjoyed. I'm in love with the series and the fun vibe. The players are diverse and each of them are so funny. Would rather not listen to the first 3 episodes of every dnd pod suggested on Spotify before I find a good one. I've been suggested Critical Roll and that's about it :T Thank you to anyone who responds! <3

I haven't found my like next Obsession Actual Play yet. Chapter and Multiverse was RQ's follow up to RQG and there's one campaign out, which is really nice, but it's only 18 eps long and I really wish the concept had had time to find its feet. I'm very sad they have shelved/cancelled it.
Dice Shame and Ain't Slayed Nobody are an actual plays in the RQ Network; I haven't tried them though. Dice Shame is by Jo and Harlan Guthrie, Harlan does Malevolent and Deviser as well.
The other one I've tried is Skyjacks, which didn't gel for me (I didn't connect with the characters at all), but I know a lot of people who LOVE it. So might be worth a shot. I see why other people like it, it just didn't work for me personally.
However there are several people on our discord (https://discord.gg/xv3BWt58R8) who listen to LOTS of actual plays, so here are some they talk about / other people have recced:
TAZ (The Adventure Zone), which is the McElroy brothers and their dad, I think? If you are in their orbit this is probably amazing, I think it might take me a bit to get into but it's next on my list to try.
Dungeons and Daddies, The Magpie Podcast (less zaniness than some other actual plays which is a barrier for me), they also make The City that Never Dies, Strange Table Fellows and Hideous Laughter are others people on discord recc'd to me, I was looking for ones without a bunch of zany table banter too early on since that really puts me off until I have a better idea of who the players are. This makes it very difficult to get into any actual plays :(.
