Goodpods Ranks the Top 55 Dungeons and Dragons Podcasts for 2026

Goodpods' podcast discovery platform has published its 2026 leaderboard of the top 55 Dungeons and Dragons podcasts, pulling from millions of shows indexed on the platform and ranking them by a combined score of listens, ratings, comments, subscriptions, and shares. The list sits under the Leaderboard section of the site, nested in the Hobbies and Leisure category, and includes an Indie Only filter for listeners who want to cut straight to independent productions. What follows covers every show captured in the ranking data, from the undisputed number one down through the mid-tier entries that deserve attention.

1. Not Another D&D Podcast

NADDPOD sits at the top of the list and it is not close. The show has logged 431 episodes with an average runtime of 94 minutes, and its latest episode dropped just four days ago, which tells you everything about its consistency. Dungeon Master Brian Murphy leads players Emily Axford, Caldwell Tanner, and Jake Hurwitz through the homebrew realms of Bahumia and Beyond, and the whole thing is held together by an original score composed and performed by Emily Axford. It is a comedic actual-play show at its core, but the production quality and the sheer volume of content put it in a category above most of the competition.

26. Potions and Potpourri

Checking in at rank 26, Potions and Potpourri takes a different angle entirely. Rather than an actual-play campaign, it is an interview show hosted by two queer gal pals who sit down with TTRPG creators, designers, streamers, and others working in the tabletop space. The show describes its vibe as fun and casual, giving guests room to talk about their work and passions while keeping the focus on the diversity of the hobby. With 83 episodes averaging 63 minutes each and a new episode dropping on the first Friday of every month, it runs on a predictable schedule. The show is active on Instagram and TikTok, both under the handle @PotionsandPotpourri, and its latest episode came out three months ago.

27. The Pieces of Puzzle Valley

At rank 27, The Pieces of Puzzle Valley stands out for one specific stat: an average episode length of 124 minutes, the longest of any show captured in this portion of the ranking data. That is over two hours per session, which is a serious time commitment and suggests a show that lets scenes breathe rather than cutting for pace. It has 47 episodes in the feed, and its latest episode was published 10 months ago, so the production cadence has slowed, but the catalog is there for anyone who wants a deep dive.

28. D&D with the Chaotically Neutral Canucks

Rank 28 goes to D&D with the Chaotically Neutral Canucks, a Canadian actual-play show that leans hard into comedy and drama in equal measure. The show's own description promises "a rollercoaster of hilarity" as the crew works through dungeons with what it calls "a flair of comedy and drama." New episodes have historically dropped every Monday at 12PM AST, though the show's latest episode was a year ago, which may indicate a hiatus. At 21 episodes and an average runtime of 95 minutes, it is the youngest catalog in this section of the list, but the engagement metrics were clearly strong enough to land it in the top 30.

29. The Basement Surge

The Basement Surge at rank 29 has one of the most impressive raw episode counts on this portion of the list: 275 episodes, which puts it well ahead of most shows in terms of sheer output. The average runtime is a relatively lean 46 minutes, making it the shortest average episode in the captured rankings by a wide margin. The tradeoff is recency: its latest episode was published two years ago, which means the show is either on an extended break or concluded. For anyone who wants a substantial back catalog of D&D content they can work through at a quicker pace, The Basement Surge is worth tracking down.

The Neon Streets (rank not confirmed in available data)

The Neon Streets appears in the Goodpods ranking data with 72 episodes, an average length of 63 minutes, and a latest episode from one year ago. Its specific rank number was not captured in the available data from the platform, so its exact placement in the 55-show list cannot be confirmed. What the metadata does indicate is that it sits in a similar neighborhood to the other mid-tier entries in the 26 to 29 range, based on its position in the source data. The show's episode count and runtime put it squarely in the mid-range of the list.

How the ranking works

Goodpods uses five metrics to build its leaderboard: listens, ratings, comments, subscriptions, and shares. The platform describes the Top 55 as drawn from "millions of podcasts available on the Goodpods platform," which gives some sense of the competitive field these shows are rising above. The ranking does not come with publicly disclosed weighting between the five metrics, so it is not possible to say whether a high listen count outweighs a strong comment rate or vice versa. The leaderboard is categorized under Hobbies and Leisure on the platform, with Dungeons and Dragons as its own subcategory, and the Indie Only toggle allows users to filter for independent productions specifically.

One note worth flagging: the source data shows two dates associated with this list. The Goodpods platform page displays March 10, 2026, while the original report places publication on March 6, 2026. Whether that gap reflects a publish date versus an update date is not confirmed. The full Top 55 list, including shows ranked 2 through 25 and 30 through 55, is available directly on the Goodpods leaderboard page under the Hobbies and Leisure category.

The spread of shows captured here illustrates how varied the D&D podcast landscape actually is. You have a polished multi-hundred-episode giant in NADDPOD with a professionally composed score, a monthly interview show centered on TTRPG creators, a marathon-length actual-play series in The Pieces of Puzzle Valley, a Canadian comedy crew, and a 275-episode catalog from The Basement Surge that ran at nearly podcast-a-week frequency. Goodpods' algorithm surfaces all of them together, weighted by community behavior rather than editorial picks, which makes this list one of the more honest snapshots of what D&D listeners are actually engaging with right now.
