Critical Hit, DnDUI and Nerd Poker are my 3 favorite D&D actual play podcasts that I listen to religiously. I chose them for their high quality and regular release schedule.

Critical Hit

  • Visit http://majorspoilers.com/critical-hit/ or search for Critical Hit on iTunes.
  • Podcast by the crew at MajorSpoilers.com that started way back in 2008, so if you like it – you’ll have years of content to enjoy.
  • The DM Rodrigo have created an interesting world for people experienced with D&D and they do a super great job explaining the rules to newbies.
  • Started in early 2013 and updates each Saturday.
  • Playing 4th Edition D&D
