Episode Synopsis
WHEN WE WERE WIZARDS is a 14-episode documentary podcast that charts the rise and fall of Gary Gygax, the co-creator of the role-playing-game phenomenon Dungeons & Dragons and co-founder of the company that produced it, TSR Hobbies.

Never before has this tale included so many insights, discoveries, heart-wrenching recollections, and stunning revelations.
This is a story for anyone interested in unique subcultures, Americana, corporate chaos, history, cautionary tales, and human drama.
