| 10/8/26 | Welcome to Hump Town + Gnomes Dropping Death Geese | DCC Book 4, Ch. 1–3 | This week, we cover Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of The Gate of the Feral Gods — DCC Book 4.The Iron Tangle is behind us, but the fifth floor is already serving up some fresh bullshit. Carl, Donut, and Katia arrive in Hump Town, where the camels are armed, city hall is suspicious, and a floating gnome fortress is everyone’s problem. Four castles, fifteen days, and no stairwell until all four fall. Welcome to the bubbles!Meanwhile, Carl gets some legendary loot and a face tattoo with unfortunate side effects, Donut adds to her magical arsenal, and the gang discovers that their fellow crawlers include two dudes getting absolutely hammered at the Spit and Swallow.Plus, the gnomes introduce their version of aerial warfare: DROPPING A FUCKING GOOSE.Want to join the discussion?

| 9/15/26 | Dave Survives the Tangle...So Does Gary! | DCC Book 3 Recap | Season 3 Recap Episode! This week on Dave’s First Crawl, we’re wrapping up The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook: covering the Epilogue, audiobook end credits, general discussion, and Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret Part 3.We look back at the biggest moments of the Iron Tangle: Katia's ascent as a Crawler, the collective embrace of Carl & Donut, the body count ticking up among top 10 Crawlers, and the evolution of Carl's mantra: “I will break them. I will break them all.” Plus, Dave’s endgame predictions, Book 4 predictions, Reddit shout outs, discussion on the audiobook bonus material, and we address our harshest Apple Podcast critics. Travis in Atlanta, this one’s for you.Finally, Growler Gary lives! Our favorite repeatedly murdered bartender wakes up backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret: preparing for something that sounds increasingly important. Oh, and Gary may have just stumbled upon the minor combination of resurrection + the power of creation. What could possibly go wrong?Season 3 is officially in the books.

We meet Quint — half-Djinn, half-garbage scowl, and 100% chaos. Then things get wild: dead hookers, a fallen hero (RIP Gum-Gum, you will be avenged!), and some seriously terrifying floating head's. Krasue, you scary as hell! And Featherfall? You sketchy bastard. Yeah, we’re calling you out. | 1h 40m 17s | ||||||

| 9/20/25 | Welcome to the Over City: Please Mind the Lemurs! (DCC Book 2, Ch. 1–5) | The dungeon expands, the stakes rise, and the clowns… are horrifying.

| 9/3/25 | "And a Wild Mongo Appears!" | New Achievement! Dave and Emi wrap up the closing sequences of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Book 1....doing so in style we might add. Mongo is quite pleased!In chapters 44, 45, 46, 47 & Epilogue, we encounter our last boss battle (a diseased rodent on red bull), Donut wins a most prized pet, and we get a surprise Agatha appearance at the tail end of floor 2. Our hosts dive straight into the action & dissect the many mysteries of the Dungeon - notably: Why does Donut love Oasis?We also talk about what's next for the pod, and close out with some of our most rage fueled segments yet for "What grinds our gears?" Be there for this one. Will be wild! | 1h 46m 00s | ||||||
| 8/16/25 | Glurp Glurp Piglets, the Maestro Has Arrived! | Dave and Eric (Emi) return to break down Chapters 41–43: the rage elemental falls, Meadowlark is saved, and just when Carl and Donut think they can breathe, the Maestro crashes the party. This orc with an ego—and a bloodthirsty teen fanbase—turns murder and mayhem into prime-time entertainment. But when his twisted show targets our heroes, Carl and Donut fight back the only way they know how: with chaos, rebellion, and a whole lot of attitude. | 1h 24m 40s | ||||||
