Despite trying his best to find worthy companions, his efforts ultimately proved unsuccessful, and in episode 100 (spoiler) the Dark Lord took over the town and the tavern as well. The initial arc of the show, over the first one hundred episodes, was Usidore’s quest to defeat the looming threat of the Dark Lord and recruit everyone who would join him. Once introduced, many plot points become running jokes integral to the show, like how Chunt becomes anything he has sex with, or how Usidore is known by many different names throughout the kingdom. The strength and fun of the show is in how they deal with, and sometimes extricate themselves from every strange new element that is introduced. The trio play off each other extremely well, and following the rules of improv every new situation, no matter how ridiculous, is treated as absolute truth. The podcast is set in a tavern called the Vermillion Minotaur in the town of Hogsface, where he, along with his two best friends and co-hosts Chunt the Shapeshifter (currently in the form of a badger) and Usidore the Wizard interview a new guest nearly every episode, and help Arnie discover anything and everything about the new world that he finds himself in.Ĭhunt is played with delightful aplomb by Adal Rafai, and Usidore is played with extreme bombast by Matt Young. Three veterans of the Chicago comedy scene have created a podcast that is rather unlike anything else, and has been updating very regularly since March of 2015.Īrnie Niekamp stars as a fictional version of himself, and as he explains in a monologue at the top of every episode, he fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King and found himself in the magical land of Foon. Well for everyone else, if you haven’t listened to Hello From the Magic Tavern, take a listen. Perhaps you should try mainlining news programs whilst ingesting decaf coffee? If you don’t, then I don’t know how to help you exactly.
If not, then you should probably stick around anyway if you like copious amounts of fun. If you have been searching for a comedy podcast that’s completely improvised and set in a magical fantasy realm, then congratulations– Hello From the Magic Tavern just may be what you have been searching for!
