In just a few months I’ve raced through over a hundred episodes of this podcast. I’ve deferred holds on library books in favor of Explorers Wanted.

If you aren’t a Cypher/Numenera player, the game mechanics are pretty simple and don’t interrupt the story. If you are a Cypher player or want to hear examples of play before learning a new system, this is a good start. I will also say don’t skip the short adventures in other settings between seasons.
