Next Monday! Unless today is Monday, in which case: Surprise, it’s That Time! You can listen to the latest episode or start at the beginning of our adventure via this site’s Podcast page or subscribe (and leave a review!) at… …Apple Podcasts… …Spotify… …Podcast Addict… …or wherever you get your podcasts. Alternatively, if you prefer to go straight to the source, here’s our RSS feed.

Not by staring in our windows, please? We post clips of our weekly episodes of our free flagship show The Roots of Ruin on our YouTube channel – so you can get a few snack-sized samples over there, alongside video feeds from our Godmaker streams on Twitch. And we post video of our premium shows to YouTube as well -- those are available as rewards for most members of our Patreon.

Short answer: Lars! Longer answer: We record the show via a video call while viewing our gamespace in Foundry Virtual Tabletop -- for our first 125 or so episodes, we each recorded our own local audio and then uploaded it to a shared folder on the web, though more recently we've been trialing standalone products that record and save synced audio via a standalone web app. Anyway, once each audio file exists they all get sent to Lars, who waves his Staff of Audio Production (Major), casts a Level 17 “Make an Episode of The Roots of Ruin,” and conjures an episode that makes it seem like none of us ever says “um.” It’s a solid setup.

Short answer: Lars! Longer answer: Lars composes a lot of the music you hear on the show, from the audio drops to the scoring – and also identifies royalty-free music to fill in some gaps. If you hear something and it speaks to you (i.e., “SLAPS”), Lars probably made it.

Short answer: Lars! Lars has a background in music production, so he uses a ton of different audio processing plugins he's acquired through the years to design the different voices. This means that unfortunately there isn't a single standalone piece of software we’re using that you'd be able to use in your home game. But: If you ever want to talk music or audio production with Lars and the rest of our listeners, please come find us on Discord and ask away!
