Popular Reviews of Sidequesting

On the surface, it's a silly, fun show where someone wanders around avoiding the main plot. You can trust Sidequesting, though. No joke is ever more important than the people who might be hurt by it. The stakes are deliberately low, which flies in the face of what we think we know about storytelling - but it turns out that listening to something sweet, and kind, and that you know will turn out all right, is exactly what some of us need in our lives. Also, Tal swordfights a chair to get good foley and that level of commitment deserves our love and respect. The creator of this show is a friend, but my love of the show predates our friendship. Check it out.

A fun RPG-based audio fiction show that gets into the parts we all want to get into: the side quests.

Fun plot. Season one was so good!!!! Can't wait to see more!!!!!

Sidequesting is one of my real favourites. When you want to hear a show that is uplifting and positive without being preachy or irritating, Sidequesting's the one for you!

Really fun podcast. The host is great! Love the premise! Quality, give it a listen.

It took me too long to listen to Sidequesting, but then I marathoned the whole thing in a few days. It is exactly my kind of story. The real treasure is the friends we made along the way XD

I make this show, so I'm a little bit biased here, but I really appreciate how each of the guest voice actors give their all. In my opinion, they're what makes this podcast great! Each episode has someone new, and the sheer talent I get to witness while producing the show impresses me every time.

Sidequesting is a really fun, and super cute! I'm delighted to have another rpg based audio drama. They all seem to be so good, and this one is certainly no exception.

With excellent acting and amazing writing, this lighthearted podcast will remind you how much more fulfilling it can be to take a break from your big responsibilities to help some people and have fun doing it.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. For me, it is a deeply cathartic escape to a world where wrongs can be righted by an individual who is earnest, clever, curious, and a bit mischievous. The writing really shines when topics like love are explored. I recommend giving this podcast a chance, and I'm certain you will immediately like the disarming main character Rion and following their journey.

Such a sweet, fun fantasy podcast that doesn't have a main plot because that's not the goal. Good for listening to while doing all those side quests. The creator, Tal, is also BRILLIANT!!! Follow them on all the things!!!

Going to mention this again: would you like a master class in how to write, perform, and record touching, intelligent, satisfying fantasy fiction audio play? Listen to any episode of Sidequesting. Don't thank me; I already know.

Was this podcast made with me in mind specifically? If you said yes, I would not be surprised. We have a main character who is INVESTED in keeping their journey low stakes and just wants to meet people and do interesting things. It's the slice-of-life, epic fantasy adjacent podcast of my dreams! Chock full of queer people and nothing but happy endings in sight. My cup runneth over.

A bit to sweet for my taste. Still love Tal Minear and anything they are a part of

There is so much in this podcast that is just so damn squeezable. There is so much heart rolled up into every episode. This show is not heavy on conflict but it leans into love so hard and each episode is uplifting in its own way. Such a great pick me up, not to mention the wonderful sound design and worldbuilding. Such a gem.

Well crafted and produced audio drama

The premise of this podcast is evERYTHING (and yet it's somehow even better!) Tal is really good at the podcast thing, and they really shine here!

Sidequesting is an absolutely delightful podcast, with episodes that focus on the importance of friendship, community, and collaboration. It's an uplifting and heartwarming show, which highlights queer and marginalised folks and their stories.

Sidequesting is an amazing podcast, full of fun adventure. Rion is an amazing character, full of kindness and creativity, helping just about everyone they meet. I definitely recommend this podcast to anyone in search of fun, friendship, and a little magic.

Sidequesting successfully finds a way to explore the fantasy genre through a new and unique perspective. Each episode feels like a casual lighthearted trip through a fantasy world of fun relatable characters. In a genre where every protagonist is “The Chosen One” it’s nice to hear a story where the protagonist just wants to help folks out. It’s been said many times before, but this show really is the perfect escape from the heaviness of our modern times. From the writing to the foley work to the voice acting, a stunning amount of careful detail has gone into crafting the world of Sidequesting. Do yourself a favor and spend a few days avoiding the main quest with Rion.
