I think streaming media makes it so easy to binge a new thing too, so falling down a fandom hole for a week or a month or whatever is so easy to do. And again, those are the kinds of things that if they roll around on a Yuletide pinch list, I might be willing to write something for it if I like it and remember enough without a canon review. They're just not fandoms I'm active in the rest of the time... I think they count, but I will almost always forget them on a list of "fandoms" I make for things like this.
I've never heard of that podcast! Those kinds aren't usually the kind I listen to or at least not on a regular basis, but I total understand the appeal of them. My Brother, My Brother and Me (MBMBAM) is the one I can talk about forever. That and a weird one I LOVE called Good Christian Fun. GCF is a podcast about Christian pop culture but through a modern, thoughtful (and liberal) lens. It's a hard sell because while the hosts consider themselves Christian, they're definitely not your stereotypical straight-laced right-wing conservative Christians. They take an honest look at what Christian pop culture (both old and new) is trying to impart, who it's marketed to, and where it might fall down. Also, they're extremely funny. But like those are two wildly different talky podcasts (although if you like one, you'll probably like the other) but selling those to non-podcast people or audio drama podcast people might be difficult.
And yes! I DM a weekly D&D game on Wednesdays and play a Earth Genasi Barbarian in a game on Tuesdays. :D I've been a hard core TTRPGer for almost two decades. I've played a bunch of different kinds of games too, not just D&D.
