The Adventure Starts Here Podcast
We are a group of friends who get together each week to talk games! We are a discussion group which selects a game to play each week then discuss and critique its composite elements from gameplay and audio to narrative and themes. At the end, we discuss questions posed by the selector of the game then give the game a rating out of 10.

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
