I didn’t say I disliked it! I’ve probably spent more time listening to theory videos about ASOIAF than I did listening to the books, I like proverbially dissecting the frog. So a D&D campaign with 5 minutes of OOC discussion for every 1-2 minutes of gameplay is just my speed.
The Adventure Zone is what got me into D&D. Balance is surprisingly easy to run as a home campaign
Re: radio shows… Back when I listened to podcasts, there were so many. I can’t speak to their current quality (I largely stopped listening to podcasts in 2020), but there was Wolf 359, The Far Meridian, The Magnus Archives, The Bright Sessions, Ars Paradoxica, Hello from The Magic Tavern, and a ton more that I never even heard of. Then there’s the literal fictional radio shows like WIDK and Welcome to Nightvale
I shamelessly steal ideas from them all the time. Fantasy Costco is in all my campaigns and always run by Garfield, the Deals Warlock. I even made an entire mini-campaign that took place entirely within Fantasy Costco.
Also, D&D campaign
We need the podcast equivalent of old radio shows, like acting out a story with sound effects
There’s plenty of audio dramas, and actual plays that are more edited and produced than, say, Critical Role.
Edit: Came across this site just now: https://audiodrama.directory/
This is awesome, thank you!!
My personal favorite D&D podcast is Tales from the Stinky Dragon XD
Well if we’re strictly speaking DnD I guess mine would be Worlds Beyond Number’s main campaign (that’s DnD right?).
But Fun City, Gutter and Unend are my personal favs using other systems :)
Yeah The Wizard, The Witch and The Wild One is DnD and I can highly recommend it.
Shout-out to the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast as well as the Acceptable Losses podcast for doing 40K and setting lore deep dives!
I feel like D&D campaign falls, spiritually, under ‘recapping a movie but it’s longer than the movie’
Then you’ve been listening to the wrong campaigns.

That’s why I love Thrilling Adventure Hour so much. Its funny and in the style of old time radio.
There’s plenty of high production podiodramas but they are more like a movie to me than old radio dramas.
I once listenee to a Batman podcast which was an audio drama that I think was actually produced by the people who own Batman.
Radiolab? Oh you mean D&D

My favorite here are Mystery Quest and the Apocalypse Players.
Though I might have a thing for humorous horror.
I love the Apocalypse Players. Just the right amount of madness.

Is almost as if you were asking about DnD poscasts…
Well no one mentioned Legends of Avantris… Check it out Torbek and Chuckles are comedy gold.
Bitsy is my favorite XD
Go, right now, right this second, and listen to all of Midnight Burger.
It is sooooooo good.
Woah! 50 episodes, the last of which was posted only a couple weeks ago! This shall bless my walks for a long time!
Oh man, have I got the movie for you. Do you like farces?
