The Adventure Zone
The Adventure Zone is a comedy actual play podcast hosted by brothers Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy and their father, Clint. Based on the role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons, every other week, the brothers and their father adventure through magical, wooded, and undersea worlds in campaigns DMed by all four hosts. It is one of the funniest, exciting, and most heart-warming podcasts I have found. They are currently adapting their first campaign, the Balance Arc, into a series of graphic novels, and an animated tv show is in development.

My Brother, My Brother & Me
My Brother, My Brother & Me is a comedy advice podcast hosted by brothers Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy. Each week, the brothers alternate answering questions sent in by listeners and answering questions found on Yahoo! Answers. They also have sporatic segments like Munch Squad, where Justin reads press releases from fast food restaurants. It is a very funny podcast that every week leaves me laughing at my desk. The first episode of The Adventure Zone was actually an episode of MBMBaM, released when Justin was on paternity leave with his first child.
