Earbuds Podcast Collective: *Actual-Play Role-Playing*

How EarBuds Podcast Collective works:

Each week, a theme is chosen by one of our curators. That curator finds 5 podcast episodes (from anywhere!) to go along with that theme. Listen to these podcasts by clicking on the links above, through the RadioPublic app, or you can find (most of) them on your favorite podcast app (iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast…)

PODCAST CURATOR’S NAME: Brendan Hutchins, creator of the Podcast Advocate Network and host of Podcast Playlist

WHY THIS THEME?: Actual play podcasts let you experience a group-improvised story with banter and spontaneity, while also bonding with a group of good friends. Sometimes it’s just nice to be in another world.

CROWDSOURCING QUESTION: What role would you play in an improvised campaign to save the world? And would you podcast it?
