Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
I’m a big fan of podcasts, but I’ve never really gotten into recordings of live plays – they just don’t do it for me. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that there is at least one recorded play podcast that is an 11 on the awesome scale: the D&D Podcast featuring Mike Krahulik (Gabe from Penny Arcade), Jerry Holkins (Tycho from Penny Arcade), Scott Kurtz (from PvP), Wil Wheaton (do I really need to say where he’s from???) and Chris Perkins (from Wizards R&D). Utterly geeky and so totally NSFW.

Listened to it, pretty funny stuff. And for the most part, their game flows really well. They seem to know what the rules are, and they are there to play and have fun.
There’s always something to learn from these guys. I feels a little scripted at times (which I think is intentional) but it’s for the benefit of the listeners.
I’ve been a Penny Arcade fan for a while – I’m not surprised at the level of rules knowledge. It does feel somewhat scripted in places (which I don’t mind), but its hard to tell when you’ve got three professional writers in the same game!
