Girls Who Don't DnD

Girls Who Don't DnD started with a premise so simple it practically sells itself: three women who have literally never played Dungeons & Dragons sit down with a DM named Cory, who owns all the books but hasn't really read them, and they just... figure it out together. What makes the show special is how genuinely they stumble through the rules while accidentally creating a campaign that longtime players would envy. The learning curve is part of the entertainment. You get to hear real "wait, I can do THAT?" moments that veterans forgot they once had. Cory turns out to be a surprisingly talented storyteller and voice actor, building a homebrew world that grows more intricate with each session. The players bring an infectious energy -- they care about their characters in ways that feel unforced, and their tactical decisions range from brilliant to hilariously catastrophic. Episodes run around two and a half hours, released monthly, which gives each session room to breathe. The production quality is genuinely impressive for what started as a casual actual play. Sound design, music cues, and clean audio make this a polished listen. With 89 episodes across two seasons and a 4.8-star rating from 380 reviewers on Apple Podcasts, the show has built a dedicated following. If you started playing D&D during the pandemic boom or you've always been curious but intimidated, this is the show that meets you exactly where you are. It proves you don't need decades of experience to tell a great story around a table.
