S06E31 - Spoiler Sessions: Dakota Krout

This week on Spoiler Sessions, I sat down with Dakota Krout alongside his longtime audiobook collaborator Christian J. Gilliland for a wide-ranging conversation covering the past, present, and future of Dakota's ever-expanding universe of stories. We explored fan-favorite series including The Completionist Chronicles, Full Murderhobo, The Divine Dungeon, and the upcoming Chance Encounter, diving into lore mysteries like the origins of Cookie, Luke's mysterious sponsor, the fate of Murder World's earlier visitors, and the enigmatic force watching Joe in The Completionist Chronicles. Dakota also discusses how he creates so many wildly different systems and premises, shares stories about LitRPG Con traditions, and reveals a few personal favorites along the way. Christian gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at narrating more than 260 audiobooks, how his partnership with Dakota began, and whose idea those beloved audiobook bloopers really were. If you're a fan of Dakota's worlds—or just want to hear two creators clearly having a great time together—this is an episode you won't want to miss.
