I Am Hear
I Am Hear is a conversational podcast that focuses on the guest and their experiences with RPGs and the RPG community. It explores the unique stories of RPG community members and purposefully features members of the community marginalized by race, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, and/or disability. I Am Hear aims to boost those folks and their stories.

The intro and outro music was composed by Emily E. Meo. All graphic art and assets were created by Mathias Grelli.
