History[edit]
Dungeon Crawlers Radio started in 2008 in Utah. As an attempt to gain on-air radio experience, Daniel Swenson, using the on-air name of Revan, and Riley Booms, going under the name Malak, started the podcast in Booms's basement.[2] The basement had bars on its windows which Swenson and Booms felt made the space seem like a dungeon, and decided to incorporate that into the shows name.[1]
In 2009, the podcast got picked up as a weekly radio internet show by UtahFM, a local internet radio station.[2][3] The show originally aired on Monday nights and continues to air weekly on Monday. The format of the show expanded to include downloads on iTunes and BlogTalkRadio.[1]
The program added additional personnel as its listening base and popularity grew, including additional co-hosts. Booms left the show in 2011 to pursue other projects.[4][unreliable source?]
In 2015, Dungeon Crawlers Radio received a nomination for the Hugo Award for Best Fancast.[5]
