Friends of mine made a D&D live-play podcast, and it's great!
This podcast is a gem! The episodes are nice and short (about an hour each) which is much better than most 3+ hour gaming podcasts out there! Nate Shehorn's voice is a joy to listen to. Sandra Elliott, Mandy Stigant, and Julie Wnuk are fantastic role-players. They give each character a distinct personality. Their characters actually act like teenage girls. It's not your typical D&D party.
I would describe this story as Harry Potter meets the new She-Ra TV series by way of a YA novel series. There's teenage drama, there's house intrigue, there's lying and schemes and investigation and a hint of mystery.
I don't think I've ever encountered a D&D game with a girl's night sleepover (complete with makeover) followed by tense non-violent confrontation with bullies/rivals (possibly my favorite scene!). Kudos to Nate and the Best Friends Team for thinking on your feet (both players and DM) and turning what was probably supposed to be a combat encounter into something right out of a YA novel/movie.
Also, bravo on excellent editing! All the useless side banter and chatter is removed. I don't know how much of that is good editing and how much is attentive respectful and engaged players, but it's great!
