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.

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.

Finally back on the surface, we've got some people to talk to. And some town councilors to fix. And I believe there was mention of free money?
We have a special guest playing Val Baine this week.
