Welcome to the Ultimate Episode: Roll for Persuasion
Welcome to a very special, randomized, and slightly unhinged episode of OH!CAST! This week, podcast host Cal MacDonald joins two co-hosts. One returns from a long hiatus, and one makes their debut. After a long break, for instance, the legendary Hereward is back on the mic. Meanwhile, newcomer Graeme jumps into the chaotic fray for the very first time. To mark this momentous occasion, we naturally decided to leave our fate—and our discussion topics—up to the roll of a d20.
We’re calling this format “Roll for Persuasion.” We do our best to convince each other on topics we chose completely by chance. This isn’t just a list of our favorite things. Instead, it’s a look at what happens when geek culture meets pure, unadulterated randomness. The number the die landed on dictated which of the 20 topics we had to discuss. Consequently, this led to some truly unexpected conversations. As a result, the discussion is high-stakes and high-energy. We dive into whatever the dice compel us to talk about. This is the ultimate Roll for Persuasion!
A Wild Roll of the Dice for Our Episode
This episode packs an incredible range of geeky goodness, all thanks to the D20’s whims. We could have discussed the best TTRPGs that aren’t D&D. Alternatively, we might have found ourselves diving into the wild world of SJM conspiracies. The conversation could have spiraled into an in-depth analysis of foreign-language sci-fi and fantasy. A heated debate about the most overrated TV show of all time was also a possibility. With a single roll, for example, we could have revealed our biggest geek guilty pleasures. We might also have reminisced about our very first game consoles. The unpredictability of the format is half the fun. You will hear the genuine reactions to what topics we had to tackle in this Roll for Persuasion adventure.
Throughout the episode, you’ll hear new insights from Graeme, our newcomer. You will also catch up with Hereward after his long absence. From the best comic book characters who haven’t had their own film yet to the pros and cons of different game controllers, the sheer variety of potential topics thus ensures a fresh and engaging discussion. The dice could even have landed on a discussion about voice actors or our favorite bad films. Whether you’re a long-time listener or this is your first time tuning in, you’ll feel right at home with our unscripted discussions. Ultimately, this episode is a perfect introduction to the unique chaos that is OH!CAST.
Our Fandoms and Fiascos, Thanks to the Dice Roll
The randomness of the “Roll for Persuasion” format led to some incredible revelations and heated debates. The luck of the roll drove all of it. We could have discussed a surprisingly niche topic. This might have been the best geek media based on an island. Or perhaps we could have talked about a more mainstream one like our top 5 fictional vehicles. The dice could also have led us to an impassioned debate on Vikings. Another option was an honest look at the worst moment in our favorite franchises. The beauty of this format is that it forces us out of our comfort zone. It pushes us into new conversational territory.
In this episode, we also could have talked about the games we’ve spent the most hours on. This is a topic guaranteed to bring back memories for any gamer. We also could have explored the best and worst openings in film and TV. With a full list of 20 topics, the variety of possibilities ensures there’s something for every kind of geek. Indeed, this Roll for Persuasion episode is a great example of the kind of passionate, fun, and random discussions that are a hallmark of OH!CAST. Join us as we explore the chaotic and exciting world that the d20 has laid out for us. This is another fun episode.
