This is one of my favorites. I really hope we get to hear more bonus episodes with Travis as DM.
I'm not a Maximum Fund donor, so unfortunately I haven't heard the bonus episodes :-(
Kinda weird that you're a fan of Adventure Zone and not MBMBaM?

I've only tried MBMBaM once and couldn't get into it. Is there an episode you'd suggest for a newbie?

Chris Gethard's podcast Beautiful/Anonymous is pretty beautiful. The gimmick is that people call him and stay anonymous, and the call ends after exactly one hour. Gethard is not allowed to hang up before then or extend it any longer. He gets these people to go to some interesting places. I've only listened to the first four (there are 8 so far), and 1, 3, & 4 are all top-notch. 2 is OK and not a drag at all, it just doesn't reach the same heights (depths) as the other three. Recommended.

The second season of Breakdown is fascinating.

Wasn't sure what to think of Alice Isn't Dead after the first two episodes, but I've come around on it, and I'm getting very invested in the story. I like how it's slowly gotten more coherent with each episode. The out-of-sync narrative worked well to set up the tone of the story, but now that it's established, I think it works best to continue in a more straightforward fashion.

That's what I was getting at in my previous post about it.

I'm glad it's getting more in line, if that's the best way to put it.

Fresh Air and WTF have plenty of that. The Mindy Kaling audiobook was great too, I can send it your way if you'd like.
please :)

Yes! Some of my favorites:

-Ep. 107: Lake Placid
-Ep. 79: Deck the Halls
-Ep. 65: Howard the Duck
-Ep. 53: Anaconda
-Ep. 48: Sleepaway Camp
-Ep. 47: Super Mario Bros.
-Ep. 40: Judge Dredd

It's hard not to list more since I love this podcast so much, but I tried to keep it limited so as not to overwhelm. There are sooooo many great episodes.
