Dice Tower Theatre: Dawn of Dragons
Interview with writer, narrator, and producer Mike Atchley.
When I began my era of listening to podcasts while working, I had never thought Dice Tower Theatre: Dawn of Dragons would hook me the way it did. This award-winning audio fiction’s captivating storytelling and fantastic sound design haul you away to a world of magic and dragons.
Mike Atchley (writer, narrator, and producer) retells the adventures of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign he led for his friends as a Dungeon Master. He kept track of their sessions through notes the players left unread. Using his background in audio, he narrated his notes into a recording and added some sound effects for fun. Little did he know this led to a full-fledged podcast. And, yes, his friends listened to the notes — they loved it!
As Dawn of Dragons rose in popularity, other creators and talents within the podcasting community — like the Podcasting Network Discord Server (former CastJunkie Server) — offered their voices to give life to non-player characters, enriching an already tremendous experience. With the community's growth, Dice Tower Theatre joined forces with other podcasts under the name “Good Ham Productions.”
