Dungeons and Daddies
An actual-play RPG podcast where a group of comedy and video game writers tell chaotic, genre-hopping stories, famously tagged as "not a BDSM podcast."
This is a comedy podcast where the cast happens to be playing a role-playing game. The story, whether in a fantasy realm or a sci-fi setting, serves as a launchpad for the cast's rapid-fire jokes, elaborate puns, and absurd, often lengthy, out-of-character discussions. While one member acts as Dungeon Master (DM), the narrative is highly collaborative, frequently derailed and reshaped by the players' chaotic and comedic impulses, with game mechanics taking a backseat to entertainment.
“The show's unique edge comes from its cast of professional writers and filmmakers from the video game and web video industries, resulting in a high level of comedic timing and production polish. This is contrasted with an intentionally juvenile and raunchy sense of humor, creating a unique blend of high-production chaos.”
Who hosts this show
Dungeons and Daddies is an unscripted, comedy-first actual-play podcast featuring Freddie Wong, Will Campos, Matt Arnold, Anthony Burch, and Beth May. The show's first season followed four suburban dads transported to a fantasy realm to rescue their sons. Later seasons explore new characters and game systems, including a 1950s horror-comedy and a sci-fi space opera, but maintain the group's signature style of chaotic improv, frequent out-of-character tangents, and a loose interpretation of game rules.

What you'll be asked on this show
This is a narrative-driven actual-play podcast, not an interview show. One cast member acts as the Dungeon Master (DM)—Anthony Burch for seasons 1, 2, and 4, and Will Campos for season 3—setting scenes and voicing non-player characters. The other four members are players who frequently interrupt gameplay with comedic tangents, pun runs, and out-of-character brainstorming. Episodes often open with character introductions accompanied by a unique "fun fact" for the session.
Signature segments
- · The "Not a BDSM Podcast" tagline
- · Character introductions with a "fun fact"
- · Extensive out-of-character comedic tangents
- · Parody songs and commercials
- · Rapid-fire pun sessions
