Since March of 2017 the DayTrippers campaign at Legends of Tabletop has been a monthly event, with regular podcasts streaming live on YouTube, and edited audio versions (complete with sound effects thanks to host/producer John Haremza) archived at SoundCloud. These lag a few months behind due to production time, but the wait is definitely worth it.
Episodes currently available for your listening enjoyment include:

Fictioneers are designers, facilitators and explorers of collaborative fictional spaces, otherwise known as “Roleplaying Games” and “Storygames.” Fictioneers.net is a directory of the games they play, and conversations about the things they do. In addition to its massive database of indie games, the site has been expanded to include an advanced Forum for the discussion of roleplaying games, storygames, game design and theory. Come join the discussion.
