A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I am certain I reviewed FatT before, I guess Apple ate my homework. Friends at the Table has been a source of joy and a balm in my life over the past 8ish years. I did not really care about actual play before listening to this podcast, and honestly I still don’t - what I care about is listening to these friends play together and the drama and excitement that comes from “play to see what happens”. My favourite podcast by far.
Maybe my favorite podcast ever, DEFINITELY my favorite actual play. The Friends are funny, witty, charming, thoughtful, heartfelt, and generous, as players and storytellers. I have learned so much about games, stories, and their intersection from this podcast, and specifically how to be a great GM from Austin Walker, who is (in my humble opinion) head and shoulders above pretty much anyone else out there (yes, even your faves,) in terms of his creativity and skill. He inspires me to think more critically about my own work in the TTRPG space. You who are just starting to listen to FatT, I envy you the deep joy of getting to discover these worlds and these characters. Enjoy!
I cannot possibly put into words exactly how much love and adoration I feel for this show and the beautiful works of art that come from each new season. The ability for all cast members to create and embody such full, lived in characters, the intriguing and mesmerizing settings that spring to life from the incredible world building, and the genuine sweetness and care between good friends are just a few of the things that make my heart sing with every listen. I cannot recommend this show enough, nor could I ever thank the cast enough for the brilliant worlds they’ve made and the way that each and every one has sunken deep into my own heart.
From bottom to top, from start to finish, Friends at the Table is, even at ten years, ESPECIALLY at ten years, the best actual play podcast currently being produced. FatT manages to maintain the feeling of being a game played by friends rather than a performance by actors while hitting the absolute heights of production value. No one does it better, and I mean no one.
