Welcome to Pod Against the Machine, the only Actual Play podcast that specifically mentions its opposition to the machine in the title. We’re a ragtag group of five creating an epic story while playing through the Iron Gods Pathfinder First Edition adventure path from Paizo publishing. It’s like Dungeons and Dragons, complete with wizards, monsters, and skeletons...but with an added bonus of evil robots and horrifying aliens, all tied together with our (hopefully) funny banter, interesting characters, and edge-of-your-seat action.

We're back with the third episode of Machine Learning: A Pod About the Machine, from Pod Against the Machine, the only podcast with a supplementary podcast with a twenty-five word title. Well, Gero, Izzy, and Jeff are back, anyways. In this episode, we unite behind D&D 4e as the perfect gaming system, and everyone gets a free shovel.

Welcome to the inaugural Machine Learning: A Pod About the Machine, from Pod Against the Machine, the only podcast with a supplementary podcast with a twenty-five word title. In this episode, we theoretically revisit the first five episodes of our podcast, answer listener questions, hear a couple words from our sponsors, and discover that we all grew up in the same orphanage, but coincidentally all have the exact same, profoundly specific amnesia.
