The Dome Runners Crimson Oracle A podcast about the game Necromunda, featuring gang warfare between the gangs occupying the cramped tunnels of a massive hive city. Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Necromunda is a narrative focused game that lets you role-play as a gang leader and fight for dominance in campaigns pitting you against your friends' gangs.My goal is to introduce new players to the game and provide tips and tools for new and existing players alike. Explicit Amerikinda with Cory and Travis Vandoliers Since joining the Vandoliers in 2015, fiddle player Travis Curry and multi-instrumentalist Cory Graves have been criss-crossing the country in cramped vans, blazing a trail all their own by incorporating elements of mariachi, punk and classic country into their trademark brand of Amerikinda — a genre they, admittedly, just made up. The barroom buddies carry that same energy into their podcast. Saddle up and hang on tight, because on this show anything goes.

Long hours on sore feet and wearied coworkers cramped side-by-side in the pursuit of perfection is typical in the service industry. But it isn’t until the final diner has gone and the last tab is closed; when there are no more pots to scrub or glasses to polish; that’s when the first shift drinks are poured and the stories start to flow. Every week, Eddie Kim and Mathew Ramsey will share a shift drink and swap war stories from behind the line with chefs, bartenders, bakers, brewers, and anyone who touches this all-encompassing industry. Un-edited, no-holds-bar, and personal, these brief moments bleed into life stories, past and future aspirations, philosophy, life lessons and every shot in between. This show records and broadcasts LIVE on Full Service Radio from the lobby of the LINE DC in Adams Morgan, Washington DC. Explicit Cramped Andrew Eggert An irreverent take on a wide variety of subjects, in addition to sobering perspectives on addiction. Explicit
