Can We Level Up Yet?

Can We Level Up Yet? is a newer entry in the D&D actual play space, created by Jo Steel, Vee Harris, Noah Lance Holcomb, and Kael Steel. The title captures a feeling every tabletop player knows: that impatient itch to gain your next level after a long session of adventuring. This smaller, independent podcast has the energy of friends genuinely having fun at the table rather than performing for an audience, which gives it an approachable, relaxed vibe. The cast brings a mix of comedy and earnest roleplay to their sessions, and the dynamic between the players feels natural and unscripted. Hosted on Transistor, the show is still building its audience and catalog, which means new listeners can get in on the ground floor without facing the daunting back-catalog problem that plagues longer-running shows. The production is clean and listenable without being overly polished -- you can hear the dice rolls and the table talk, which adds to the authenticity. The comedy leans into the absurd situations that D&D naturally generates when a group of friends makes questionable decisions together. There is something refreshing about a show that is not trying to be the next Critical Role and is instead just focused on having a good time with the game. If you enjoy discovering new actual play podcasts while they are still finding their voice, Can We Level Up Yet? is worth adding to your rotation.
