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.
