A reddit post led me to that video with Deborah Ann Woll, turns out she made a video series called Relics snd Rarities where she DMs and it's good.Using this thread cause I'm not sure where else it would fit.
What D&D podcasts are people listening to (if any)?
I dropped Critical Role years ago because it started feeling too arduous to keep up with. It took me a bit to start listening again but now I've picked up a bunch.
My favorite by far is Worlds Beyond Number, but I also listen to Dimension 20, Not Another D&D Podcast (NADDpod), and my teen's favorite Just Roll With It.
Mostly just looking to see if anyone else wants to nerd out about podcasts.

That whole podcast episode is great. Definitely recommend listening to the rest of it.
Was at my local gaming store today....omg, so much nostalgia. I hadda get it (the small box is one I've had for....ever)
Thanks to YouTube recommendations, I stumbled across a video about Deborah Ann Woll talking to Charlie Cox about D&D. Actually, it started with a short clip from that video, then I found the full video. I fell down the rabbit hole and found Relics & Rarities, a short series of game sessions with a revolving guest chair (for one-session players like Cox, Matthew Lillard, Kevin Smith, or others). And I found myself completely enamored by not just Woll's DM'ing abilities, but the overall presentation. I finished watching the whole thing over the weekend.
It got me thinking of finding other live D&D campaigns to watch. I know Critical Role is the king of them, so I downloaded the first season of Vox Machina, which I'm enjoying more than I expected. Given how long Critical Role has been running, I'm not sure if I'm up for watching that from the beginning. But I might seek out other live playing like it.
I found a long-standing Rifts campaign that I might start listening to, since I grew up on Palladium games and still have a soft spot for that broken, unbalanced system. Kinda wish I could find a Heroes Unlimited or TMNT live play, but Palladium obviously isn't a popular system.
Any other recommendations, aside from Critical Role?

Dimension 20. Most of them are on YouTube. Brennan Lee Mulligan is an amazing DM.

They post a lot of the early D20 on YouTube. Dropout us the best deal in streaming, though.
I think I'd prefer video over audio. I find I'm enjoying watching people's reactions and their dice rolls.
If by a lot you mean 2 full season 1s, and a 6 episode season.
They do post every first episode of a season on YouTube as a teaser though.
Maybe they took a bunch down? I watched more than 1 season on YouTube before ever subscribing to Dropout.

Actually, three full games is a lot, yeah. Maybe that is all I saw once upon a time.
For Canadian content, Loading Ready Run have a series on YouTube called Dice Friends. They've done d&d, vampire, and other ttrpgs. All with different DMs running things.
Here's a 4-part miniseries by Venture Forth - The Key to the Universe - it's a nice way to get into how they play but not get into a full campaign.
They have a full campaign going on that's currently at 181 episodes, but they start off audio-only - goes to video of them in the 100's... They have a recap that can get you to the video.

Timely:
Jesus, that's...a LOT. And honestly...almost none of them interest me. Maybe The Unsleeping City, but the rest just come across as too gimmicky and trying too hard.
I will second this, especially look for the campaigns run by Dale, see: Escape from Semolo Plateau, the sequel to that Dragon's Orders, or Trouble in P4RA-DI5E (in the Paranoia system w/ the Red Clearance rules), but all of the ones I have watched have been fun.
That video has my pet peeve: Background music that's way too loud
