Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy from My Brother, My Brother and Me have recruited their dad Clint for a campaign of high adventure. Join the McElroys as they find their fortune and slay an unconscionable number of ... you know, kobolds or whatever in ... The Adventure Zone..
The McElroys have really given me a lot of laughter and happiness through this show, especially during lockdown. Hilarious, tense, exciting, emotional- I love it! Thank you brothers and Clint

Once was fun, now a chore
The McElroys don’t seem to be enjoying this any more, so I’m not either

A classic
These boys get you so invested in the stories. The storytelling as well as the music and overall production, combined with how lovely the guys are makes for an amazing listen that always takes my mind off of the bad stuff going on in the world!

Why am I Crying?!
This podcast was supposed to be a fun adventure with jokes about seducing plants but now I am crying, this isn’t fair

No words, just wow.

Best Podcast Ever
I cannot express how good this podcast/show this is. Ever since being told about it by a guy at uni no more than two months ago I have just binged this these episodes. The imagination of these arcs and stories are absolutely amazing and have constantly maintained my undying interest. I look forward to the future episodes and hope it continues for years to come.

Essential listening
You need these arcs in your life.

Amazing Podcast
I don’t think any story will ever hit as hard as Amnesty did. God that thing made me cry, and god I wish I could relisten to it without knowing the ending. Absolutely recommend this to anyone getting into DnD, or even a veteran DnD player, it’s good for anyone :)

You’ll laugh out loud in public and not care
As others have said, start from the beginning for this joyous romp of a role playing game. The banter between the McElroys is great and makes you feel part of the fun. I must have listened to the Balance arch at least 3 times and am still enjoying it.
I’ve got the books as well, which are a great way of reliving the fun,

Incredible
This was literally the only thing that kept me emotionally stable during exams

Best fantasy podcast on the market
I'd recommend starting it from the very beginning.

Incredible listen!
Came into this podcast blind, had only known about the McElroys from articles surrounding ‘My Brother, My Brother and Me’, and was so glad I pressed play. The McElroy family creates vibrant and extremely likeable characters in a world full of hilarity and, despite the fantasy settings, authenticity. Started listening to MbMbaM after the first couple episodes of TAZ and am now a declared McElroy fan.
Amazing.

Fantastic
This was my first step into real play D&D podcasts - the first 69 episodes (Balance Arc) is absolutely amazing from start to finish - would highly recommend to anyone interested in a great story! Light on rules and big on fun it will leave you wanting to hear more from that world. Absolutely huge props to Griffin for taking the role of GM! After episode 69 they dabble in some diferent roleplaying games before settling on Monster of the Week. The Amnesty arc is great too, but a much different tone - a lot darker and less comedy for the most part. They have recently started the third campaign -D&D again! This time with Griffin GM'ing. It's good so far but we're yet to get too deep in!

Exceptional
This podcast is just a gosh darn great one. You don’t have to love D&D, the McElroy’s are hilarious and create a joy filled hour each episode. The stories are great, the characters are great and it’s just a wonderful podcast. Start from the beginning and enjoy :)

It is cool I think the school should of be taak school
Please! Just pick an arc ‘Balance’ or ‘Amnesty’ (Etc) and start. They are wonderful, silly, thoughtful and so enjoyable. It’s my all time favourite podcast, perfect if you like listening to stories and hanging with friends. These guys will quickly become your friends and the adventures they go on will be fantastic. They start a bit tounge-in-cheek at the very very beginning but D&D and role playing games soon become a vehicle for just excellent story telling and character development. Also, their Dad reminds me so much of my folks, it’s adorable.

So entertaining
I’m not a D&D player but I found the plot very entertaining and funny. I just finished Adventure time: balance and the characters were so well done, it brought me so much happiness when I was alone or sad. Thank you for creating such a unique podcast!👏🏽

Light hearted and certainly a fun approach to D&D
After completing the Vox Machina campaign of critical role I decided to pick up on the Adventure Zone. A much more relaxed and fun focused approach to role playing. id say more Discworld than Middle Earth, but the story arks remain compelling. I happily set aside any rules tumbling around in my head, and enjoy how the narrative proceeds at pace. Should be a lesson to all DMs, rules are there to be ignored and broken when they get in the way.

Hugely entertaining
Very funny and surprisingly engrossing - even if you’re not a D

I cast ZONE OF TRUTH
This podcast is hilarious and brings so much happiness to my life.
Thanks McElroys!

As good as you’ve probably heard...
I’ve played a fair number of tabletop roleplaying james and listened to a ton of podcasts. This is perhaps the best example of actual play RPG’s in podcastlandville.
Sure, Critical Role hit the emotional drama and bring amazing professionalism to their campaigns.
Friends at the Table truly deliver on their promise of ‘smart characterisation & critical world-building’.
And a host of others all offer something slightly different and valued.
The McElroys did something else. Some bizarre hybrid of epic storytelling & perfect comedy that is just so munteringly (yes, that’s a real word) joyful to listen to! Exactly what it is they created, you’ll have to listen & decide for yourself.
TAZ has been running a long time now so I’m a little late in saying this but thank you Griffin, Justin, Travis & Clint for all the work you put into this... keep it coming.

Great podcast
Consistently hilarious
2019-11-01
Makes you laugh, cry, and everything in between
Writing this just as Graduation starts; but I’ve been with these boys since the beginning of Amnesty. Such an incredible podcast from 4 incredible people, all of them just so amazingly talented at acting and storytelling and comedy and all of it. I cannot tell you the amount of emotions I’ve felt over this podcast and these stories; I’ve sobbed, gasped, been speechless, jumped with excitement, and laughed so hard my stomach hurt. You won’t regret listening to this podcast.

Joyful
After enjoying My Brother, My Brother and Me, I wanted to give something else by the McElroy brothers a try and I'm so glad I did. I'm not even a DnD player, but these guys create an entertaining story in a hilarious way. I can listen to this for hours.
2019-10-14
Abraca….listen to this podcast!!!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant podcast, discovered recently and be binging every since.
2019-10-14
Every episode leaves me with a stupid grin
So great, the endings are so well made, character development is off the charts, lovable npc’s, the stories are amazingly crafted and the brothers are honestly a delight to listen too. Watch it. Best dnd podcast.
2019-10-04
Friends you’ve not met yet
Incredible fantasy story telling from season to season. The boys don’t disappoint with hilarious one-liners and jokes every episode, which Griffin skilfully weaves into a cohesive storyline which will leave you profoundly moved. A true masterpiece.
Fun, laughter, tears I crave all these things and you’ll get it all here. Great story telling from the whole team.

A beautiful show that is more than deserving of your attention
The Adventure Zone is a extraordinary show with lovable characters, astounding music and heartfelt stories. It can and will bring you to tears, as it’s done with me multiple times, and you will be left with an experience that you will never regret living.

All I listen to now!!
This is my favourite podcast, and my favourite thing to listen to! Spotify has been abandoned and I no longer watch youtube; it’s The Adventure Zone all the way for me!!

THE BEST PODCAST AROUND
Honestly cannot get enough of The Adventure zone! Loving the new story of Amnesty but the balance story will always have a special place in my heart! Love TAZ!
2019-06-22
A good good story-telling podcast
A great podcast, would 100% recommend to anyone and be confident they would enjoy it. Th characters are easy to fall in love with and you are immediately invested in their progress through the story. Truly a masterpiece of storytelling; Griffin is a fantastic GM and I’m positive that he enjoys throwing us a curveball as much as I love trying to catch it. The highest quality podcast I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.

Fastbreak Breakfast is great
Fastbreak Breakfast is the best basketball pod with two grizzlies fans and one heat fan that I listen to. It’s only behind Take it or Break it in my basketball pod best listens
2019-06-03
Perfection.
This podcast broke me. But in a good way. I’ve laughed, cried and screamed at this. You are transported into the worlds they create and you don’t even realise time has passed by the end of it. Best thing I’ve listened too.
2019-06-02
Amazing!
I love walking around my day to day life listening to Taz!! I would 100% recommend
2019-05-27
The best.
Some of the best storytelling I have ever come across. The McElroy family really care about it’s listeners and strive with great passion to try and give us the most hilarious, powerful, beautiful stories they could possibly give us. Both current arcs, TAZ Balance and TAZ Amnesty are absolutely amazing for different reasons and I highly recommend both!
2019-05-22
Only just started
Honestly the only thing that gets me through work

What got me into D&D as well as podcasts
After seeing so animatics and videos dedicated to the adventure zone on youtube I decided to check them out. I was originally intimidated by the sheer number of episodes but found I was able to listen to them relatively quickly whilst I was (somewhat fittingly was doing woodwork).
Genuinely charming and funny, you’ll feel as if you’re with a group of friends playing the iconic game. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone, an absolute must have.
2019-05-13
Truest amazing content
Absolutely love this podcast. Always wanted to get into D&D and this has only peaked my interest into the fantasy realm. Well deserving of the 5 star review. Keep up the good work!
2019-04-28
A must
I wish I could play with you!
2019-04-24
Astounding
This is the show that got me into podcasts. I’ve cried with laughter on every form of public transport imaginable while listening to this show. The comedy is perfect the world building that grows over the course of the show is something else. A truly unique and wonderful story with thoughtful characterisation and a plot with more twists than a bag of snakes. The balance arc genuinely changed how I think about storytelling, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
