Arguing with Dragons
Arguing with Dragons is a nerd-cast where two opinionated friends stop being polite about the things they love and start actually arguing about them. Each episode, Tyson and Mike dig into D&D, video games, movies, fantasy, and pop-culture nerd staples—not to explain them gently, but to challenge sacred cows, call out bad takes, and figure out why these things matter to people who grew up with them. Sometimes casual, other times loaded with opinions, and somewhere between nostalgia, hot takes, and friendly combat, they tear down fandom myths and rebuild them into something more honest, funny, and human.
