Description

Arnie Niekamp fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King into the fantastical land of Foon. He's still getting a slight wifi signal, so he uploads a weekly podcast from the tavern the Vermilion Minotaur where he interviews wizards, monsters and adventurers. It's a major discovery!

Hilarious

How is it possible they’re just getting better and better 9 years in? Highly recommend this podcast to all lovers of fantasy, improv, and just general silliness.

Listen to this. Seriously, just listen to it. It’s way funnier than it has any right to be.

I love this podcast.
I’m a fan of the fantasy genre, and the situational humour and execution are excellent.

I’m almost done with my binge listen and I have to say this podcast is amazing. I have never in my life cracked up as hard as I have listening to this. Especially helps with passing the time at my work. Definitely recommend!

Perfect podcast for a pandemic

Not being able to go to a real tavern makes it all the nicer to hang out at a virtual one. Arnie, Chunt and Usidore (w12e,Ml&s,MmD,ChofGHT,etc) are a delight to listen to. Let’s hope Arnie, much like a lazier version of Sam Becket, never gets home.

Been listening to this podcast for about 6 months (binged the episodes when I should have been working and caught up really fast) and now it’s a permanent fixture in my life. Love these guys.

Literally the best podcast ever created!!!

I’m currently listening to this podcast for the 5th time because I love it so much! It just makes you feel like you’re there with them and it makes my life a lot better than it would be without!

Good show.

I am a bit of a fantasy geek and enjoy this show immensely. If you’ve ever played D&D, WoW or read just about any fantasy novel, this will male you smile.

Not real?

I thought this podcast was just an impro comedy show but then I saw a tall, old, bearded man dressed all in green hanging around the back of a burgie king?

Beware your new addiction!

This show is just a delight, and has become my go-to podcast for winding down after a long day. Usidore the blue wizard in particular is a standout character.

We must fight against the dark lord!

Right after we talk to a host of monsters and mythical beings, fit in a game of Mittens, commit a few murders and **** a memory gremlin.

Never stop smiling

Recommended to me and now hooked. Hugely relatable person focused parody-fantasy with wonderful concepts of “A Martian Sends a Postcard Home”. Oh and a lot of buttholes.

Billy yum yum 2x2

Third time listening through, just as great on repeat (especially the mysterious man’s bookends). Best comic fantasy world building since Discworld, keeping it coming guys.

You NEED To Give This A Listen

I LOVE this podcast. Genuinely, it’s my favourite podcast and I recommend it to everyone I possibly can (apart from my sister because I don’t like to share things I like with her). The characters are so, so lovable (love you, Flowey), it’s a perfect fantasy setting, and it just has a great mix of humour and seriousness. It’s hard to believe that it’s all improv really - that’s how great it is. Right now, I’m on S2 E5, and I’m loving it. Keep it up!

Love this podcast

I stumbled on this podcast by accident. From the first episode I was in stitches. This podcast has gotten me though a lot of nightshifts and will get me though a lot more give it a go you’ll see.

Ridiculous & brilliant

The only podcast that actually makes me laugh out loud on public transport
Update.... 4 years in, still listening and it’s still ridiculous and it’s still brilliant

Favourite podcast

These guys have been cracking me up for years now. Im loving season three so far. Keep up the good work!!

Incredible

One of the most consistently funny podcasts out there that makes me laugh every episode with endearing recurring characters and a heart of gold at the centre held together with terrible puns and non-sensicle references. I wouldn’t have it any other way

Impressive Improv

By far the funniest podcast around. Haven’t enjoyed a podcast this much since Ricky Gervais. Top quality antics.

Wonderful

My favourite Podcast. This is really funny, slightly naughty, very sweet, and full of wonderfully surreal world building. If you like things like Red Dwarf, Terry Pratchett, or Hitchhikers Guide then this should be your sort of thing - except instead of being written down it is improvised by extremely talented comics. As someone from the UK I don't think I quite get all the references but it doesn't matter a jot.

Awesome light hearted and fun podcast

Love this podcast. It's fun, light hearted and a great alternative to a lot of the darker stuff out there. Really uplifting. So funny and with new awesome characters every week. Was also lucky enough to see it live in London. Brilliant - highly recommended if you like anything fantasy related.

You’re trying to save me from myself? Ha - good luck!

Bring back Craw and Flappy someday - surely the most jovial guests of this fine podcast!
