Top RPG Podcasts

Each year since 2018, EN World holds a public vote for the most popular podcasts of the year. Podcasts are divided into two categories - Actual Play and Talk.

Categories​

Actual Play podcasts are podcasts where the podcasters play an actual tabletop RPG for your listening enjoyment. They range from hour long one-shots to multi-year campaigns; some have voice actors, while others are hobbyists sharing their love for the game. While many are D&D podcasts, there are many podcasts for a wide variety of game systems, in a wide variety of styles.

Talk podcasts include interviews, reviews, discussion, opinion, advice and (my favourite!) news. They cover a vast array of tabletop RPG related topics. In one you might be hearing a review of the latest D&D book, while another delves into old Call of Cthulhu adventures from the 80s. One might interview a famous game designer, while the next might offer advice on tricky gaming situations.

Hall of Fame​

Once a podcast wins in a category, it is not eligible in future years. Instead, it joins the Hall of Fame in perpetuity. The following podcasts are currently in the Hall of Fame.

• Tablestory (multiple shows)
• The Adventure Zone
