Three Black Halflings

Three Black Halflings is hosted by Jasper William Cartwright, Olivia Kennedy (Liv), and Jeremy Cobb -- three friends who bring strong opinions, sharp humor, and genuinely thoughtful perspectives to their conversations about Dungeons and Dragons and pop culture. Jasper trained at London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and has credits with the BBC; Liv writes and produces video content for Dicebreaker; Jeremy is an actor and writer who has appeared on Not Another D&D Podcast. Together they create a show that feels like eavesdropping on the best table talk you have ever heard. The podcast regularly mixes formats. Some weeks you get deep discussions on topics like trust and trauma at the gaming table, or roundtable episodes featuring indie actual-play creators talking about production and storytelling. Other weeks the hosts run one-shot adventures -- their recent BEASTS series showcased original worldbuilding with the kind of energy and character work you would expect from three performers at the top of their game. A big part of what makes Three Black Halflings stand out is its commitment to exploring diversity in tabletop spaces. The hosts talk openly about representation in the hobby, from character design to community culture, without ever making it feel like a lecture. It is a show that manages to be both entertaining and important, treating its audience like adults who can handle nuance. Published weekly through Headgum, new episodes land on Thursdays.
