Xena: Warrior Podcast Vera, Katie, and Livy Xena: Warrior Podcast is a weekly show where three film school grads (Vera, Katie, and Livy) over-analyze the Hades out of Xena: Warrior Princess. This 90's classic deserves more critical attention and appreciation within the television canon, and that's where we come in. Watch along with us as we revisit Xena from the beginning. Explicit SitcomD&D Headgum Five longtime friends and Chicago improvisers combine the best parts of two disparate worlds: sitcoms and Dungeons & Dragons. Follow a halfling bard, a half-orc warrior, a druid bar owner, and an elven princess as they struggle to keep the lights on at their tavern and inn, Bottoms Up. Unlike most D&D podcasts, each episode is self-contained, so drop in wherever just like your favorite sitcoms! Starring Erin Keif, Waleed Mansour, Elizabeth Andrews, Sean Coyle, and Ben Briggs.
