A roar roar trample trample and a happy world turning to you all

Alyssa

🦭👏🦭👏 🦭👏🦭👏🦭

Alyssa

Further evidence that Cullen is Brennan proving that “big gestures won’t save a doomed relationship”

Artemis Hauck

the seal story literally almost made me cry on my commute this morning wow

Christopher Martin

If it's still in there we've had a fight 😅🙈 It's definitely still in there, I thought it was hilarious

expandingnebula

really excited for the sequel: Number 3’s Big Day (featuring Tobias the Townie)

Joy 🦆

I’ve enjoyed every single Emily Axford book recommendation, I love when I get even more recs outside of shout outs on NaddPod

Linnea Fahnestock

The Kaiju stuff is great and all but anybody else feel like they could listen to the three PCs living their life in Port Akabor with their team and interpersonal dilemmas slice of life style and be perfectly happy if that was the whole campaign too?

mageacademydropout

Beardsley gave us a wrapped-up spoiler to open in the midst of holiday gift season. Hooray!

Brandon Carbaugh

That's how Mark Zuckerberg greets his employees every morning

Atlas Asra Zaina

I feel incredibly called out as a 24 year old who is dating my best friend of over a decade lol

Ryne Drogemuller

Come for the insight, stay for the dating advice

Brandon Carbaugh

Love Erika's part about how they could have just played a whole cozy college campaign as these characters, and that being part of why it works so well. One of my favorite pieces of screenwriting wisdom is always: "The characters don't know they're in a story." Like, until the murderer turns up, a teen slasher movie is a coming-of-age romance, as far as the protagonist is concerned.

Chip Roush

bring it! put it on the list of worlds to come. Also, Ally in almost any setting is wonderful

Jill K.

This episode was the most amazing way to start my Tuesday. As a religious studies grad, I would like to add that many religions have bonding ceremonies where friends, families, clans, etc make vows to each other.

J. Griffin Hughes

I would like to sign up to unleash my inner lesbian, please

Ewizabeth Herd

This how I find out I somehow missed session 0…

Faye Core

We got the Takin' a shit edit!! Shout out!!

Peregrine

I’m kinda in the same period of life as the World Turner crew (maybe a couple years older) and I enjoyed hearing you guys discuss your memories and perspectives <3 I’ve had some really tough times throughout my teens and now early 20s and I often struggle a lot with the instability and uncertainty of my life… but I’ve recently moved into a new apartment, adopted a second kitty, and I feel like I’m slowly making things better for myself. It was nice to hear your insights looking back (from a kid who didn’t have mentors or much family guidance). Loving the story so far!! xoxo

ChosenOfAeterna

I need everyone to listen and understand that I would listen to a slice of life campaign with these characters for years, I’m being so for real. And I know it’ll never happen but my dream ending for these characters is that they end up in a poly triad because the way they love each other is so beautiful and heartwarming I can’t stand it 😭😭 And lastly, Yaxel is a love letter to the most charming and enchanting trans mascs I’ve ever met in my life and I’m standing by that.

mumbo

Every time Emily or Murph get mentioned I secretly hope to be followed up with an announcement that they’ll be guesting on an upcoming campaign. On that topic though, Beardsly blends in to the group flow so seemlessly it feels like they’ve always been here lol

Erik Nelson

The doors that Jujubee opened for characters just going to use the bathroom with no ulterior motives!

C

It was interesting to me to hear everyone talk about Yaxel being so mature and self-possessed-some of that definitely comes through, but it’s hard for me to square that with his treatment of “Three”-I really read that as fuckboi energy and him not being interested in the person in the group that’s not attractive enough for him to consider worthy of his time (or his friends’ time). I really hope Three gets some plot redemption! But overall I will join the chorus of people as really being in love with these characters and setting, and this was a great talkback ep! I was sad we didn’t get one per episode at first, but y’all brought so much insight and depth to this conversation which I feel like can be partially attributed to having a handful of episodes to work with. I can’t wait to hear more of this campaign!!

ISAWziti

I had a period of my life with in unit coin operated laundry. That drove me crazy; I wasn't mad enough.

Kaylub Clark

On a mathematical level: what percentage of "Kelmp" is Cullen? It's more than 0%

Titus Pierce

Shout out to the wife’d up 20 year olds who are now estranged or divorced

Cole Sarar

Oh my goodness, what a gem of a fireside. The emotional truths of the characters is incredible- I too made decisions on behalf of my loved ones as a young person who was trying to "spare them" having to take care of me. And poor Lou having to put up with the party not only splitting but wilfully eschewing one another! What an incredible peek behind the curtain, what charming vulnerability in this episode. I felt tender and vulnerable as a result!

Liz

The talk about dating reminded me about something my mom said to me a lot when I was a teenager, and which I like to share with people when I can because it’s good advice: don’t ever be so lonely that you don’t care who you spend your time with. It’s better to be on your own than to cling to someone who’s not a good fit for you at best and actively bad for you at worst.

Liz

For real. I read The Priory of the Orange Tree on her recommendation and looooved it so I always take her recs seriously!!

brokenallbroken

We too don't need the kaiju. I would be delighted to spend time with these characters in their everyday lives without a crisis.

Michael Sangregorio

What I loved about this campaign from the beginning was the total immersion. No, “Welcome to [SETTING NAME],” or player character introductions where we find out names, class, etc. Just directly to the story.

R. Shawn Abrahams

Yo! The session zero = good vibes is real, but I wonder how much of that is tied up in this being a group of friends in a time of their lives where friendship is easy and almost compulsory? Like we, the audience, feel brought along in the wake of their warm friendship (like with WWW or Misfits) whereas, if this were a group of 30/40 something’s all with their own priorities and lives they have to balance and account for before the intamacy of friendship (aka like solari even between Chee and Ayasa, best friends) this session zero would feel more like world building? Like is the effect Brennan and Lou attribute to session zeroes in actual play just a coming-of-age genre vibe? (at least from the audience’s perspective, as performers it may hit different)

Lex Morris

but the whole thing with three is that she never says anything (or keeps getting interrupted) so he doesn’t get a chance to learn anything about her. it’s an ann from arrested development situation

C

There's a moment in the first episode when they're in the museum that Yax talks about intentionally positioning himself so that "Three" wasn't in the circle with them, so that it made it feel like it was at least partially intentional that he was ignoring her

Lex Morris

it’s more about the world building. like they said, these characters know things like the good coffee shop in town and experiences they had together, which they can effortlessly reference, and that adds a lot of realism. in WWW, the trio is often making references to that very real experience of the children’s campaign, and they don’t need to do a lot of exposition to wave it into the story. in solari the PCs are strangers, so it wouldn’t make sense to do a session 0 in the same way, but i do think that campaign is missing a certain amount of environmental depth because they don’t have collective memories of the world. the fact that it comes from aabria’s imagination is very evident, although the flashback episodes help with that

Morgan McKinney

Erika saying it was hard when they graduated from college and applied to 40 jobs over a few months… I’m newly postgrad on application 135 so absolutely heard!

Morgan McKinney

In all seriousness, the campaign’s been so relatable so far (as a 22 year-old) & the first 10 mins of this talkback had me in tears so thanks guys!!

CSN

One of the most attractive men I know donated his kidney so another friend of ours could get the transplant she desperately needed, and has just always been an all-around good guy as far as I'm aware. And smart and successful too. Some just have it all, and I agree this cannot be allowed. 😅

Gabe

*PLEASE* drop Ally's unredacted intro after the conclusion of World Turner!! 👏🏼

Elijah Peters

I really needed the emotional advice. In this episode.🥹

Jess A

That outro started my morning off right.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Erika says the one thing a "funny guy" hates more than a comedian is a femme comedian. Ally says, "Yeah, the ones who say, 'That's actually pretty funny' multiple times." And Erika absolutely loses it. Been there, heard that, hears it called out and shriek-laughs til they can't breathe. OUCH. And now I suddenly realize that I would not use the words "shriek" or "scream" to describe laughter from a masc person. Double ouch.

AK Trash Panda

"Lore is just lore unless there's an opinion that the character has behind it" just changed my brain chemistry

The Spirit of the Betwixt

Okay, so I’m just minding my own business, listening to the fireside chat of my favorite podcast, when out of nowhere, I get shot with a mirrored arrow about codependency. Damn . Good kairos, gang .

Abby B

Pretty pretty please can we see the map? I legitimately do not care how it looks but I require a reference !

Gabe

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news gang, but in-unit coin operated laundry has existed for over a decade in my experience.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Ally: "What you're describing is lesbianism. Looking at someone who's so-o-o hot and handsome *and* they understand your experiences *and* they're down to just see you as a person? It's so addictive." Erika: "It's intoxicating!"

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Best wishes from someone much older. This is a tough time to be starting out, externally as well as internally. Hope you get to spread your wings. (I love your user name!)

Carrie Mook Bridgman

When I was a youth leader I would tell the kids "Don't date anyone you wouldn't be friends with even if you were not dating."

Bold Crow Press

I'll see your In-Unit Washer/Dryer and raise you an Inline Water Heater. Our duplex is dinky, no yard for a dog, no carport to protect the car from pine tar, but I have near infinite hot water on demand. And it's included in rent and my landlord is a decent human. I'm 41 and feel like I hit the Jackpot with this rental 😭

Tallulah M.E. Grey

Yes, every time Emily mentions a book, I RUN to Libby, knowing it’ll be a book I enjoy

Lex Morris

i think that was just because he wanted to have a private conversation with the girl he was vibing with

Gregory Moskowitz

The Loum videos coming out right before this is hilarious. Lou really took the motivational speaking seriously.

Gregory Moskowitz

All naddpod listeners know murph does like 60 hour weeks editing naddpod and has 0 time to do anything.

Peregrine

Thank you! :) I appreciate it <3

Little Cheese Confettis

As a 30 year old aroace gal I listened to the dating portion feeling like Jane Goodall. Fascinating stuff, can’t relate

Little Cheese Confettis

I think what happened with Three was comedians seeing a bit forming and running with it. There’s a bit of meta-ness that happens in those situations where characterization might bend in order to heighten a bit

Meagan Mostrom

Episode 1 was so engaging and set such real stakes that I forgot about the kaiju and honestly was a little cranky when it showed up

Carrie Mook Bridgman

I notice myself noticing when Lou talks because he's so quiet. When he does say something, it's great.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Wally is an adorable long-haired dog belonging to The Voice of the People, Mel. He has become the Studio Dog and has appeared in a couple of videos.

#KittyLearnsToCook

This makes me think I should do a friend celebration where we make vows to each other, I think friendships should have that kind of declaration of commitment and love, especially if it comes with the acknowledgment that things will change, just as they do in romantic relationships!

#KittyLearnsToCook

Also my GOD it's validating to hear that my take on Cullen was where Brennan was coming from, about not having great tools, and not being his best self, and being at an age where you are learning that even if he feels justifiably hurt, it’s still not OK to throw his girlfriend’s belongings into the bay 😂

#KittyLearnsToCook

there’s nothing wrong with finding mentors now! I consider myself really lucky that I have people that I have really meaningful conversations with who are 10 years younger than me, and people I have really meaningful conversations with who are 30 years older than me. Having such a wide range of life experience allows us to hold space for each other and find new perspectives that we might not have access to otherwise. Things are really hard right now, I’m 42 and I sometimes wonder if I have made terrible decisions because I decided to become an author instead of working in an office - I still call my dad and ask him to tell me that he’s proud of me and my writing! I think the best thing you can build in yourself is self compassion and resilience, and I’m rooting for you 💖

#KittyLearnsToCook

One of my friends said "don’t make someone a priority who treats you like an option" and I put it on a Post-it note so I can look at it every day

Kayla Brink

Such great talk today! The talk about how kids/ young adults that just need to learn / don’t know how to deal with the feelings. - hits perfect. Then hearing Brennan - first UCCC (I mean SUNY Ulster) now you went to SVA too - I feel like I’ve got 5 Degrees of Brennan Lee Mulligan

W

Same. I was surprised how irritated I was.

W

I think it's a powerful thing to notice one's implicit biases. And wow do I love it when Erika laughs with abandon!

Kelly Winters

I just had to say this is one of the coolest “side adventures” that I have ever listened to. I was SAT for the whole thing from start to finish. Cannot wait for more!!

naemless

Oh I would 100% eat up a slice of life campaign!

Charisma Teeth

GM Lou is one of my favorite things to happen in 2026.

naemless

This is easily becoming one of favourite campaigns! From Ally, Erika and Brennan’s slice of life shenanigans, to Lou’s spectacular ability to remind us that this is the “Kaiju Season”. The amount of depth and chemistry this mini series has is incredible and we’re only halfway through. I cannot wait to see where you guys take this story!

Betsy

Gesundheit!

yupo

i’m currently going to cal state northridge! cool to find out erika’s an alumni. i’m in the music department so the theater building is really close haha

fireflyy507

truly world turning to be hearing all this as someone in a similar relationship in my early 20s but not knowing what i want 😬

Ch1pp3dH34rt

I can’t help but be a little sad listening to them talk about their college experiences. I guess it’s just jealousy. I started college in Fall of 2019, so the vast majority of my college experience got decimated by covid lockdown. Like, spring semester freshman year through to spring semester Junior year(spring of 2020-spring of 2022), we weren’t allowed congregate in big groups outside of class, we weren’t allowed roommates in dorms, most of didn’t get dorms (I rented a studio apartment), classes were kept smaller to allow them to spread out so deskmates weren’t really a thing, and big events outside of ones that generated the university money were discouraged. My mental health also took a nosedive. I had undiagnosed ADHD (I’m a woman, so not surprising) and had become entirely unmoored from all of the things that made me stable academically. My executive dysfunction was at an all time high, I had a hard time making friends because of the chronic impatience and object permanence issues, and I had literally no support system. My parents were 30 miles away, my big sister was another 60 after that, and my best friend was 20 past her. I was totally alone. Covid made me acutely agoraphobic because my grandmothers were in the 80s and my mother has asthma, so they were all very high risk even after all of us getting vaccinated. I would actually refuse to leave my apartment even to go on a walk outside because I was so scared and anxious about getting them sick even though I wouldn’t see them for months. I was literally so depressed that I got flagged by the mental health screening at the school clinic my senior year (fall of 2022) when I went in for a vaccine booster. That’s how I finally got my ADHD diagnosis in January of 2023, but by that point I was so close to failing college that I almost didn’t walk in May and had to take an extra 2 classes (and ace them) to get my degree. College was categorically not a good time for me. I’m 25 now and I still feel the pain of it.

Hanna Dahl

have i lost my mind? did i completely miss them confirming tobias as a deserter in ep? i didn’t catch that at all

Nutmegh

I believe they are referring to when he shows up in episode 4 alone because he ran away to “get help” I think they are using ‘deserter’ because they really love to clown on that guy… and he did leave Abigail alone/behind

Hanna Dahl

gotcha!! ok def need to relisten - thank youu

Hanna Dahl

oh my lord, fully skipped ep 4 by accident. wow that makes so much more sense

Bulbarat

Gonna need to hear what was bleeped at the beginning in the fireside for episode 8 😂

Imogen Xavier

lesbian going through a horrible breakup, this episode is for meeeeeee

Asbjørn

Agree 110% on the "lived-in"-ness of the world and the characters. Could mention a handful of examples, but I think they understand it themselves perfectly. It really is so very palpable for the listening experience, and it made the pre-Kaiju moments such a joy to listen to. I could have gone for double the amount of slice-of-life time, easily <3 Well done everyone, woaw woaw woaw!! EDIT: Okay, just one moment that really stood out to me; Harly giving her friends' names to the civil guard at the Vix Bridge, and spelling out Cullen's last name "T-U-P-P" - that felt like such a "lived-in" moment

Sean Hoffman

No. I could not take any more of Mr. Tupp being a doormat. That lady is a snake.
