Pork Fried Dice

Pork Fried Dice is the kind of actual play podcast that makes you feel like you pulled up a chair to someone's home game. The show has been going strong since 2017 with over 400 weekly episodes, and that longevity is a testament to how well the group works together. The cast includes Alex, K.T., Erick, and Abby, playing through long-form D&D campaigns with a heavy emphasis on roleplay and character interaction. The humor runs toward crude jokes, anachronistic references, and an impressive quantity of puns, which either sounds like your ideal Friday night or your worst nightmare, and you probably already know which camp you fall in. What separates Pork Fried Dice from the slickly produced bigger shows is the rawness. This is not heavily edited. You hear the table talk, the side conversations, the moments where someone forgets what their character can do. For some listeners, that is the whole appeal. It feels authentic in a way that polished productions sometimes lose. The group takes the story seriously even when they do not take themselves seriously, and over 400 episodes of character development means the emotional stakes are real when things go sideways. The show updates weekly on Castos and has a dedicated Discord community and Ko-Fi subscription for bonus content. The Apple Podcasts rating sits at 4.7, which reflects a loyal but smaller audience compared to the heavy hitters. If you have already burned through the major actual play shows and want something that captures the messy, hilarious reality of a long-running home game, Pork Fried Dice delivers exactly that energy.
