Robert is a modern renaissance man who is working on tons of different projects at once. He's got a Twitch channel that he streams on daily, both video games and DandD, and also has his own podcast where he talks to DandD content creators and Dungeon Masters. His episode focuses on his learnings as a newer DM, and he made great points about the communication between the DM and players and how that can improve everyone's experience at the table. Robert is also a proud dad of two kids and five dogs, works at Universal Studios, is working on his marketing degree, and finds some time for sleep in between all of that. Here are the links to the https://anchor.fm/robert-dennis96 (Unprepared DMs Podcast), the Unprepared DMs Twitter account, and Robert's Twitch channel, https://www.twitch.tv/alphanovah95 (AlphaNovah95 on Twitch), where he streams his Rise of Lazarus Game at 9:30 Eastern each Monday.

Ramji has spent some serious time researching comparative mythology and the works of Joseph Campbell, which makes him a master of crafting amazing tales. As the DM of a group of incredibly talented and fun players on their stream The 4th Culture, he has an amazing sandbox in which he puts his knowledge to good use. T4C draws heavily on stories of Asiatic myth and legend, which Ramji and his players grew up reading and hearing, while still being accessible and familiar to people from all cultures. If you can't catch their stream live, you can watch them on https://www.youtube.com/c/The4thCulture (YouTube) later. You can follow T4C on https://twitter.com/t4c_online (Twitter), and join their https://discord.com/invite/8ukBkpDP5j (Discord Server) to interact with Ramji and the rest of the cast and crew. They'd love to hear from you!

Josie's eye for encounter design and knack for storytelling drew me into https://open.spotify.com/show/7emj9EdyFXYI2oxE56xPSE?si=sZGLdhqoRzC_SzF9ovjKngandnd=1 (Short Quest Long Rest) initially. It reminded me of the hours I spent listening to teachers or parents read me fantasy novels I love. Josie has been apart of a couple of podcasts now, and has run many DandD games, which has led to an incredibly well organized and polished game that is a joy to listen to. You can follow them on their https://twitter.com/SQLRPod (Twitter Account) to engage with Josie and cast directly and shower them with your praise.

A self described Knowledge Cleric, Ryan has been working tirelessly for the past 4+ years to create the largest and most complete library of useful links for new and aspiring Dungeon Masters in the form of https://www.dnd-compendium.com/ (dnd-compendium.com).

I stumbled upon Kade's actual play podcast, https://open.spotify.com/show/3G7J19BVVfAECJfi3a06xM?si=meMGsz0lSq2jzQVTrw-ugAandnd=1 (Knocked Prone) when searching for new DandD shows to listen to. I loved Kade's style of DMing and knew I wanted to interview him about his influences and tricks of the trade. He talked to us about what it's like to start a podcast and some of his best and worst moments behind the screen.
