For me, the biggest draw of Explorers Wanted is how simple it is to feel connected to the cast and characters. With some actual play podcasts, it might take a handful of episodes to remember everyone's names, but here, everyone is so delightfully full of personality that you could never mistake one for another. It has strong storytelling, humor, constantly evolving mysteries, intrigue among hidden factions, and an immersive interpretation of the Ninth World setting.
