I have been listening to actual play podcasts for some time now. For reviewing purposes, I try to listen to 5 or 6 episodes or an arc per show to get an idea of what it's like, but there are a few that I liked so much, I listened to entire seasons, even multiple seasons and feeds. Right now I'm binging Fantasy Pants so I can be current, and I highly recommend their show, as it is amazing. But, there are others I would recommend.
First off, you have my friends at Thornvale Studios. They were the people who gave us the Thornvale Monster of the Week actual play. I listened to all 3 seasons of their show, the went on to listen to One Shot Mondays, a feed where they play different games and different systems. They also have a full season of a Victorian period Urban Shadows Actual Play called Felhaven. Each and every episode and feeds is bingeworthy!
Next, I need to mention my buddies across the pond at In 2 The Dungeon. They have four seasons of actual play goodness. Their first season was a duet playthrough of the Dungeons and Dragons module, The Dragon of Icespire Peak. In their second season, they played Joe Dever's Lone Wolf series, also in a duet format. Their third season, Can We Roleplay It, was full of board games played in a roleplay fashion which was tons of fun! They've gone back to DnD for their 4th season, using the current ruleset. Give them a listen!
I binged my way through season one of Shrimp and Crits, which was another MOTW season. They did some other systems before they chose their system for season 2. Currently, they are playing an Ironsworn campaign in the homebrew world of Dania. It's full of laughs asventure, and fabulous folk music.
Last but not least is the Storyteller Squad. Although their "lo-fi for autumnal lesbians and witchy cryptids" series had a way to skip the first 2 seasons to get caught up, you know I binged the whole thing. They also have an expanded universe series in between the seasons which brings ttrpg creators and other actual play casts into their wonderful world.
So, if you're looking for some bingeworthy shows, look all of these up on your podcatcher of choice, and happy listening!
