I’m a huge fan of the fantastically rude improv/current affairs/high fantasy podcast Hello From the Magic Tavern, I’ve enjoyed it ever since I binge-listened to the first season halfway through.

Last month, I dropped into the Cards Against Humanity studios where the podcast is recorded while in Chicago on my book tour, where I sat in on a session (MP3) where I played Sigint, the Five-Eyed Spider, a whistleblowing ex-spy for the Dark Lord.

I had an amazing time: I’m no improver, but the Magic Tavern-dwellers were so much fun, it was really a dream come true!

Season 2, Ep 11 – Surveillance Spider (w/ Cory Doctorow)
