(Maybe I'm an old fogey, but I don't see much of an appeal in listening to people noticeably untrained in speaking (or a yeller like Mark Rosewater) when I could read what they have to say with less loading time and more

clarity.)

I can see where Kohaku is coming from - podcasts (or video interviews, or narrated video walkthroughs) are inefficient for the amount of content they do provide, it's easy to mishear things so that sometimes you have to listen to it multiple times, it's easy to get distracted while listening as the podcasts, and you get the speaking habits of the speakers. DF Talk is really the only podcast that I listen to, and I love listening to it, since I feel that it emphasizes the strengths of the format, among them the ability to add in the occasional auditory "gag".This particular episode has me much more eager about the upcoming tavern/inn releases, though I doubt that the wide-ranging plans will all go in. And on the topic of dare drinks, I'm wondering whether civs could recognize drinks with mild, non-lethal syndromes as potential dare drinks on their own, and whether they recognize that, say, dwarves are immune or susceptible to certain "dare drinks"...Also, I found out that my pronunciation of recipe was completely wrong.
