Knocked Prone - Dungeons And Dragons Podcast

Knocked Prone is a family-friendly actual play D&D podcast with a twist — the cast is made up of talented voice actors led by Dungeon Master Kade Backus. That voice acting background makes a real difference. Characters feel distinct and alive in a way that goes beyond just putting on funny accents, and the storytelling has a theatrical quality without losing the spontaneous feel of a genuine tabletop session. The show runs weekly episodes of about an hour each and features multiple campaigns. Campaign 1, "Great Grumbopolis," follows four teenagers ripped from their homes and dropped into a dark mystery involving their city and a strange purple goop — a premise that's weird enough to be genuinely intriguing. Campaign 2, "Champions of Greyhaven," ups the stakes with gods and giant corporations competing for worship, which is a fun modern twist on classic D&D themes. The cast includes Brookelin Backus, Danny Denison, Kaden Roholt, Jameson Ames, and Mason Syddall, each bringing strong character work to the table. The "clean" label isn't just marketing — this is genuinely a podcast you could listen to with younger family members without worrying about content. That said, it doesn't feel watered down or childish. The stories have real tension, the character development is solid, and the creative choices are inventive. Having earned a spot in the top 20 D&D podcasts by listener vote, Knocked Prone proves that family-friendly and compelling are not mutually exclusive. Six years and 168 episodes in, the show keeps finding new ways to surprise its audience.
