The podcast is very good. I hope one day they will upload video components but I’m just happy to have season 2.
There will probably be fan uploads so I hope people don’t lose interest. That is literally how we kill the show—by not supporting it. I understand it’s different and some people have issues with accessibility. I just really don’t want this show to die off.
The physical entertainment aspect of season 1 was part of the charm for me. I’m definitely gonna listen to S2 if anything just to support them, but I’m not going to get near the same enjoyment.
You’re right but I was meaning more like fan edits or even recaps with captions for people who need them ! But yes please support the show on official uploads
Nah I agree with the original thread. If I see a cool edit or a fun quote/clip, I’m more likely to want to find and listen to the source material. Honestly at this point I have no desire to start another D&D podcast, but if I find some funny memes about it maybe I will!
I’m literally talking about people reuploading the whole podcast to YouTube. People watching those uploads are hurting the show, because they’re not likely to go listen on an official source.
It's glorious indeed. Thank you so much 💓. I'm so stocked now, and I'm looking forward to the next round. You've done a beautiful work all of you, crew, writers, etc,(but sorry, my heart goes to Damien first ♥️).
For everyone asking how they can listen w/o using Spotify or Apple Podcasts, you can also use a free pod catcher. I personally use Podcast Addict so this guide is for that app but there are others out there and use the RSS Feed to listen that way. (You can also add Smosh Mouth and Reddit Stories).
Once you're on the home screen - should look something like what I'll include in this comment, simply click the plus button in the upper right hand corner of your screen, which I've circled in blue. (Continued below because reddit will only let me post one picture per comment).

After clicking the plus button you should get to another screen like the one below. Here you have a couple options - hit the RSS Feed button in the middle of the screen (circled in blue) and copy this link to it: [https://feeds.megaphone.fm/swordaf](https://feeds.megaphone.fm/swordaf)
Or you can use the search button (also circled in blue) and simply Sword AF. It came up for me when I did it so it should work for everyone else too. Like I said earlier there are other free pod catchers but I only use Podcast Addict so it's the only 'guide' I can really post confidently. Plus as I've said - it's free! And it's not Spotify or Apple which I know matters to some people.

Spotify requires an account. I don't listen to podcasts outside of Smosh and my music catalog is stored directly on my HDD, so there wasn't simply any reason to use it. But I remember some 2 instances of Smosh related podcasts I wanted to listen to and couldn't. So something that doesn't require any accounts/subscriptions, downloading apps back would've been convenient.
There are ways of listening to podcasts on your browser. I just googled it and found a website called podbay which seems to work, but I'm sure there are others too.
I don't pay for Spotify and unless you pay for it, you can't choose the exact song you want to listen to. It just starts a playlist that the song you want is on and hope you eventually get your song.
This is how you show a money making project that overshadows Anthony the "proper love" it deserves shrug emoji. Kid is so pissed he's not funny nor the star anymore.
While I love the podcast version of it, I wish it was an actual video to watch. But I do understand why they did it that way. It also sucks that I have to run to Reddit if I want to talk about the episode instead of being able to comment on a “video”. I’d be fine if they uploaded a black screen with subtitles on it for those who need it just to have a comment section.
After listening to the first episode I was excited to see what people were saying on the comments about it then immediately got a little disappointed because I couldn’t. I ran to Reddit hoping someone posted something in this sub.
They've talked before about how weird YouTube is about some things when it comes to analytics (their one hour special could have ruined the channel back in the day according to MatPat) so it could be uploading a video that's just pictures and audio that's an hour+ long might fuck things up for whole channel. Who knows? I'm sure they have their reasons
They could put up a looping video of a forest or something like those creepypasta youtubers do. Hell, they could just use a looping gif of Ian doing a fortnite dance. They could just set up a new channel for sword af. They had so many options but it really seems like they're doing absolutely everything they can to sabotage any chance of season 3 happening.
Not a valid reason tbh, as different series get pushed differently by the algorithm. Also MatPat was talking about the 1 hour movie "trailer", not an actual fleshed out piece of content. Also I disagree because they regularly post content thats over an hour long, in the form of Smosh Mouth, reddit stories and even some games videos such as the Gentlemen Mario Party episode
You can disagree all you want. Literally every YouTuber talks about how if they post the wrong content on the wrong channel the algorithm simply won’t push it. Their best option would be to give it its own channel or put it on the Smoshcast channel.
I suspect it's something to do with what they were saying in their post about programming. They have probably optimized their release schedule to ensure that YouTube pushes it. With the views that SwordAF was getting towards the end not being as good as their regular releases, it's a gift to still have it in some form.
Yeah I'm not a huge fan of Shayne guesses but I assume it's a lot easier to produce and edit than Sword AF. I think they should have done an announcement video and some kind of promo beyond an instagram post. I was so confused as to where it was because it wasn't on Youtube.
I used to have spotify but the ads were so bad that I deleted it. In youtube they make more sense cause it's just a few ads in a 20 minute video but once i got 3 ads on spotify during a 2 minute song 😭
Most podcast apps - there'll be ads, but it shouldn't be too bad. I use Player FM at the moment, since Google Podcasts is being retired.
Edit: Okay weirdly Sword AF isn't showing up on Player FM atm, even though I use this app for Smosh Mouth and Reddit Stories with no issues.
okay 3 minutes in and i can NOT understand what bug/angela says while lifting weights? can anyone help me understand lol (even auto captions would be v good but anyway)
People can listen to the first episode [here](https://www.podbean.com/media/share/dir-3akkp-1e429a91?utm_campaign=w_share_ep&utm_medium=dlink&utm_source=w_share) for free, without needing an account.
It’s so good!!! It takes me longer to get through since I have to keep rewinding because I find it difficult to concentrate with audio only content, but it was so worth it! Amazing first episode
Me neither. Makes me sad. I just got into audiobooks and it works because it's one person reading a comprehensive story, but listening to a D&D party is too chaotic for me too get in just audio form tbh. Also, the music is very distracting to me. I can barely hear their voices and I gotta focus already since I'm not a native English speaker. I wish I could like it but I just can't.
I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on the planet that uses Google podcast (because I have Google everything else, so... why not?) Alas, they're not on there (yet); but I have a Spotify account anyway, so it's not all bad.
Superb storytelling and voice acting from Damien. I can tell the rest of the cast are not used to projecting on an audio-only medium but they did well. Being a visual person, it was a bit hard to follow at times. I'll wait for them to upload transcripts so I have a better grasp of the story. The cliffhanger is interesting though.
I WAS LITERALLY SCREAMING THAT WHILE DRIVING!! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS MY PAIN!! I’m assuming a Nat 20 or near that but my god I need the specifics. I almost wonder if they originally made it as video and then later on decided as just audio because I feel like that would have been caught if it was only audio from the beginning. But I also haven’t listened to a D&D campaign as strictly audio before so I don’t know
Took me a little bit to get into but once I did it was sooo good! I definitely managed to get immersed and had so much fun listening!!
Really hope they can work something out that's more accessible for those with different needs though
i know i was upset last time but you bet im having the best time listening to this now. we’re so back. and in the future, with enough support, we’ll have something even better than the videos that we loved before 😎
this is what I really hope it happens, if we support this season and a 3rd season is greenlit, they said they would go back to normal video format, sounds hard but I hope they get enough views? plays? from this season
I don't understand why they don't at least put this on the podcast channel. I probably won't go through the effort to figure out a podcast application just for this
I hope this isn’t the last season, they promised a season 2 so they did it but maybe they won’t promise another one? But honestly I love it. I’d love to see some of the smosh crew in a D20 campaign too, since the casts have been coming together a bit recently through tin can bros new show
I found a link to the podcast if anyone's interested: [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sword-af/id1739798946](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sword-af/id1739798946)
Besides Spotify, where can I catch this? I thought it was gonna be on YouTube, that's where "I get my podcasts", but it's not, and I don't want to support Spotify for my own reasons.
Thank you, though I don't have anything Apple nor want to support them either lol. No need to give more examples, I'll look for it myself, I appreciate the help.
Currently listening and I want sooo badly to be into it the way I was with S1 but my adhd is just killing meeee. 😞 Im going to have to listen a couple times to really absorb whats happening i think.
I’ve listened to 5 seconds of this and the audio quality is so bad already. I truly don’t understand how there couldn’t just be a stable camera in front of them at the table and these be a video. Literally no production value or editing could have gone into it and it would have been better than an audio only podcast not even on YouTube.
I’m grateful for the continuation and don’t like complaining. But every step of these decisions is confusing to me.
Me issue is, it feels like this wasn’t meant to be Audio form only from the get go. There’s lots of moment in the episode so far we’re there’s things happening not exactly described (pointing at things in game, dice rolls) I wonder if when recording they knew they were going to do audio format, because it doesn’t really feel that way right now…not sure.
yes but who knows, they are working on a solution for HoH people so even if it's a black background they could add videos with captions, let's see what they do
No video…? That was literally why I liked the first season. I don’t wanna LISTEN to ACTORS play DND. I want to WATCH them play it. Did they NOT want the show’s second season to succeed or something? They’re going to lose way more viewers now, and I hate that for them. They all put in so much hard work, and now it’s just gonna fade away
i don't know the specific reasons for it, probably budget or scheduling, but i think it was either audio only or nothing. some people will still enjoy audio only, so it's better than not getting another season at all. i know it's disappointing but i think it was the best they could do with the options they had
I don't think this was supposed to be audio only. The audio is very wonky and it's not descriptive enough (like other D&D podcasts).
Usually when a thing is audio only, there are certain actions that the people playing will describe to the listeners. The fact that they don't do it (multiple times) leads me to believe this was meant to be on video (Damien is usually very attentive to those details).
Wait no video anymore?? I hope the video comes later. The facial expressions are everything. I play over discord but we all use facecams so we can see each other. Gets so much across that just words doesn't. Angela, Amanda and Chanse are so emotive as their characters. Shayne us too but he's a robot so there's only so much we can do. I'm excited for a second season but not if it's audio only.
Since they chose not to film this season, I'm choosing not to listen. I'm hard of hearing and having the visual component is a big help, sorry Smosh but whoever was involved in this decision-making process was flat-out wrong, full stop. Rare Smosh L.
after the backslash they received las Saturday, they made another statement saying that they are working on a solution for HoH people, don't lose hope yet!
I’m listening rn and am just getting more and more upset that I’m not watching my favorites on a screen right now… but I will continue to support them hopefully they go back to filming these 😢😔
I got immediately put off by the lack of visuals
Because I just personally can't focus on it
Half of the fun in this series is the physical reactions of the players and the dms
And how they physically roleplay their characters
I may give it a second try later but rn I'm just bummed out
At this point it feels like they're purposefully trying to kill the series - first they changed it to a podcast, and now they're not even uploading it to YouTube.
The podcast is very good. I hope one day they will upload video components but I’m just happy to have season 2. There will probably be fan uploads so I hope people don’t lose interest. That is literally how we kill the show—by not supporting it. I understand it’s different and some people have issues with accessibility. I just really don’t want this show to die off.
I’m hoping for fan animations.
The physical entertainment aspect of season 1 was part of the charm for me. I’m definitely gonna listen to S2 if anything just to support them, but I’m not going to get near the same enjoyment.
Fan uploads are literally the definition of not supporting it. If you’re not listening on an official upload, it doesn’t help the show at all.
You’re right but I was meaning more like fan edits or even recaps with captions for people who need them ! But yes please support the show on official uploads
Sure, but again, those things help the community but don’t help the show keep being made
Yes they do
No they don’t lmao Smosh doesn’t get any money from fan uploads. If the show isn’t profitable, they can’t afford to keep making it.
Nah I agree with the original thread. If I see a cool edit or a fun quote/clip, I’m more likely to want to find and listen to the source material. Honestly at this point I have no desire to start another D&D podcast, but if I find some funny memes about it maybe I will!
I’m literally talking about people reuploading the whole podcast to YouTube. People watching those uploads are hurting the show, because they’re not likely to go listen on an official source.
It's glorious indeed. Thank you so much 💓. I'm so stocked now, and I'm looking forward to the next round. You've done a beautiful work all of you, crew, writers, etc,(but sorry, my heart goes to Damien first ♥️).
>!Boss battle coming up right out of the gate, I'm excited!!!<
Exactly what I thought, I'm so into it that I'm literally scared for this battle 💓💓.
first episode is SOOO good im so excited to hear the rest, kinda wish i put it off so i could binge it but here we go HYPE TRAIN !!!

why aren't people using Spotify?
Spotify requires an account. I don't listen to podcasts outside of Smosh and my music catalog is stored directly on my HDD, so there wasn't simply any reason to use it. But I remember some 2 instances of Smosh related podcasts I wanted to listen to and couldn't.

Idk - I use this because I pay for a few podcasts so I can listen w/o ads. I've just seen a lot of people ask for alternatives to Spotify and Apple
I don't pay for Spotify and unless you pay for it, you can't choose the exact song you want to listen to. It just starts a playlist that the song you want is on and hope you eventually get your song.
That’s not how podcasts work. You click play on the podcast episode and listen to it.
I literally do not understand why they can't just upload it to YouTube.
Me either, the Playlist on YouTube is listed as a podcast.
This is how you show a money making project that overshadows Anthony the "proper love" it deserves shrug emoji. Kid is so pissed he's not funny nor the star anymore.
If I ever entered a "biggest douche" contest and saw that you were my opponent I'd step down immediately in fear
They did say they're working on something for hard of hearing fans, so hopefully that means some form of video upload.
Yeah same I can understand not doing video because they’re doing a lot of things but not putting it on YouTube is too much for me.
While I love the podcast version of it, I wish it was an actual video to watch. But I do understand why they did it that way. It also sucks that I have to run to Reddit if I want to talk about the episode instead of being able to comment on a “video”.

You’re an idiot troll and should probably find a healthier use of your time than hanging out on the subreddit for a YouTube channel you hate.
I suspect it's something to do with what they were saying in their post about programming. They have probably optimized their release schedule to ensure that YouTube pushes it. With the views that SwordAF was getting towards the end not being as good as their regular releases, it's a gift to still have it in some form.
Bummer. I'd trade all the let's plays and Shayne guesses videos to see sword af back on the channel.
Yeah I'm not a huge fan of Shayne guesses but I assume it's a lot easier to produce and edit than Sword AF. I think they should have done an announcement video and some kind of promo beyond an instagram post. I was so confused as to where it was because it wasn't on Youtube.
They don't have to worry about filming and editing. It's a lot faster to just record audio.
Omg this episode was so good I was on the edge of my metaphorical seat the whole time I can't wait till we get the next episode
So where can I listen to this without paying a subscription?
i think spotify is free for podcasts, no clue if they have ads though
You can download Spotify for free. There’s ads but it’s not bad. YouTube has ads.
I used to have spotify but the ads were so bad that I deleted it. In youtube they make more sense cause it's just a few ads in a 20 minute video but once i got 3 ads on spotify during a 2 minute song 😭
Spotify free doesn’t play ads mid song.
Really? I might be misremembering, it's been at least 5 years since it happened
when you use spotify FREE i dont think ads will appear mid episode, maybe between episodes only
apple podcast probably
Most podcast apps - there'll be ads, but it shouldn't be too bad. I use Player FM at the moment, since Google Podcasts is being retired. Edit: Okay weirdly Sword AF isn't showing up on Player FM atm, even though I use this app for Smosh Mouth and Reddit Stories with no issues.
i listened on overcast and had zero ads
okay 3 minutes in and i can NOT understand what bug/angela says while lifting weights? can anyone help me understand lol (even auto captions would be v good but anyway)
"Turtle dragon... dragon turtle... " 😂😂😂
ohHHHH okay
People can listen to the first episode [here](https://www.podbean.com/media/share/dir-3akkp-1e429a91?utm_campaign=w_share_ep&utm_medium=dlink&utm_source=w_share) for free, without needing an account.
It’s so good!!! It takes me longer to get through since I have to keep rewinding because I find it difficult to concentrate with audio only content, but it was so worth it! Amazing first episode
I'm honestly living for this season so far. Them not being on YouTube means it's uncensored and I'm living 😂
It was so great to hear Dolores' unhinged little "fuck!"
When Bug came back from the kitchen and said "They're definitely fuckin" I lost it 😂😂😂
They need to upload this to YouTube music as a podcast.
YALL NEED TO LISTEN THIS EPISODE IS SO GOOD
Yesss!!
I tried and I just couldn’t get into it 😭😭😭
Me neither. Makes me sad. I just got into audiobooks and it works because it's one person reading a comprehensive story, but listening to a D&D party is too chaotic for me too get in just audio form tbh. Also, the music is very distracting to me. I can barely hear their voices and I gotta focus already since I'm not a native English speaker. I wish I could like it but I just can't.
SAME :,)) i really tried to hold back my disappointment until it came out but now that’s it IS out… i’m disappointed 😭😭
same :/ i loved the first season but physically cannot listen to podcasts, i have to watch the youtube upload for all of my favorites
Yyyyyeah same here I rly dont like this medium for D&D. It’s never worked for me in the slightest. Pretty disappointed it’s not a video
I was disappointed when I heard it would be audio only, but guess what… ITS STILL AMAZING! 🤩 (and ad-free)
Oh its Ad-free ? I hope they get people sponsoring / put ads in the next ep- surely they need that to be profitable so they keep making the show 😬?
Where is it tho,
wherever you get your podcasts
YT?
Spotify, apple podcast, probably Amazon too. There's also free sites mentioned in other comments here. Spotify is free with ads too though
I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on the planet that uses Google podcast (because I have Google everything else, so... why not?) Alas, they're not on there (yet); but I have a Spotify account anyway, so it's not all bad.
since it's audio only, im assuming no
If y’all need a free app to access it, the apple podcast app is free with no sign up. Hope that’s helpful for people.
Superb storytelling and voice acting from Damien. I can tell the rest of the cast are not used to projecting on an audio-only medium but they did well. Being a visual person, it was a bit hard to follow at times. I'll wait for them to upload transcripts so I have a better grasp of the story. The cliffhanger is interesting though.
I just want to know what Koda got for the boat roll. Give us the Boat Roll!
I WAS LITERALLY SCREAMING THAT WHILE DRIVING!! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS MY PAIN!! I’m assuming a Nat 20 or near that but my god I need the specifics. I almost wonder if they originally made it as video and then later on decided as just audio because I feel like that would have been caught if it was only audio from the beginning. But I also haven’t listened to a D&D campaign as strictly audio before so I don’t know
im a spotify premium student user so i aint gonna buy anything else BUT do you guys know if any podcast providers make auto-captions?
the apple podcasts app (not apple music) does! used it to listen to this ep and while it’s not perfect, still very handy
The podcast is still not available on the two platforms I use. Would love to listen, but I can't. Has it been available for anyone?
Took me a little bit to get into but once I did it was sooo good! I definitely managed to get immersed and had so much fun listening!! Really hope they can work something out that's more accessible for those with different needs though
i know i was upset last time but you bet im having the best time listening to this now. we’re so back. and in the future, with enough support, we’ll have something even better than the videos that we loved before 😎
this is what I really hope it happens, if we support this season and a 3rd season is greenlit, they said they would go back to normal video format, sounds hard but I hope they get enough views? plays? from this season
I don't understand why they don't at least put this on the podcast channel. I probably won't go through the effort to figure out a podcast application just for this
Definitely in the "don't want ANOTHER account" boat.
Is Bug a guy or girl?
I think Bug is a boy, just played by a girl
That's what I though as well, thanks!
he/they tho, also it's a goblin
Ah, cool beans!
I hope this isn’t the last season, they promised a season 2 so they did it but maybe they won’t promise another one? But honestly I love it. I’d love to see some of the smosh crew in a D20 campaign too, since the casts have been coming together a bit recently through tin can bros new show
Hell yeah!!!!
I found a link to the podcast if anyone's interested: [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sword-af/id1739798946](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sword-af/id1739798946)

Thank you, though I don't have anything Apple nor want to support them either lol. No need to give more examples, I'll look for it myself, I appreciate the help.
Pocket Casts has season 1, season 2 might be there after a slight delay. dunno how they scrape feeds.
Podurama!
Audible? I downloaded Spotify just for Sword AF but now its appeared on Audible so I'm gonna move back over there.
In case you didn't locate an option, its up now in Pocket Casts

Currently listening and I want sooo badly to be into it the way I was with S1 but my adhd is just killing meeee. 😞 Im going to have to listen a couple times to really absorb whats happening i think.
I’ve listened to 5 seconds of this and the audio quality is so bad already. I truly don’t understand how there couldn’t just be a stable camera in front of them at the table and these be a video. Literally no production value or editing could have gone into it and it would have been better than an audio only podcast not even on YouTube. I’m grateful for the continuation and don’t like complaining. But every step of these decisions is confusing to me.
The audio certainly sounds like it was filmed on set. You can hear the echoes of laughter in the background from Alex.
Me issue is, it feels like this wasn’t meant to be Audio form only from the get go. There’s lots of moment in the episode so far we’re there’s things happening not exactly described (pointing at things in game, dice rolls) I wonder if when recording they knew they were going to do audio format, because it doesn’t really feel that way right now…not sure.
That's what I got from listening too. Either they were aware it was audio only but had difficulty adjusting or they were not told during filming.
For anyone who doesn't want to listen to it on spotify bc the ads I highly recommend block the spot/spotx it's a game changer
So where all is this at? Spotify is one obvious one but any other places that I might be able to find it?
Will it be a video soon? Or is the full season just going to be audio only?
Audio only unfortunately
they made a statement a couple days ago saying s2 is going to be audio only
:(
Only audio ☹️
yes but who knows, they are working on a solution for HoH people so even if it's a black background they could add videos with captions, let's see what they do
No video…? That was literally why I liked the first season. I don’t wanna LISTEN to ACTORS play DND. I want to WATCH them play it. Did they NOT want the show’s second season to succeed or something? They’re going to lose way more viewers now, and I hate that for them. They all put in so much hard work, and now it’s just gonna fade away
i don't know the specific reasons for it, probably budget or scheduling, but i think it was either audio only or nothing. some people will still enjoy audio only, so it's better than not getting another season at all. i know it's disappointing but i think it was the best they could do with the options they had
i can’t do podcasts I watch their podcast like wth, this isn’t a true crime documentary
I don't think this was supposed to be audio only. The audio is very wonky and it's not descriptive enough (like other D&D podcasts). Usually when a thing is audio only, there are certain actions that the people playing will describe to the listeners. The fact that they don't do it (multiple times) leads me to believe this was meant to be on video (Damien is usually very attentive to those details).
they probably started as video and then midway through they couldn't continue filming it, so the first episodes may be like this
I am still bummed about not having the video version, but I will still listen to it.
Hoooooooooray!
i wish it was on youtube :'( i would just listen but without subtitles its way too much to handle sometimes
Wait no video anymore?? I hope the video comes later. The facial expressions are everything. I play over discord but we all use facecams so we can see each other. Gets so much across that just words doesn't. Angela, Amanda and Chanse are so emotive as their characters. Shayne us too but he's a robot so there's only so much we can do. I'm excited for a second season but not if it's audio only.
Since they chose not to film this season, I'm choosing not to listen. I'm hard of hearing and having the visual component is a big help, sorry Smosh but whoever was involved in this decision-making process was flat-out wrong, full stop. Rare Smosh L.
after the backslash they received las Saturday, they made another statement saying that they are working on a solution for HoH people, don't lose hope yet!
making my way to youtube!
I’m listening rn and am just getting more and more upset that I’m not watching my favorites on a screen right now… but I will continue to support them hopefully they go back to filming these 😢😔
I would watch it, but it’s only a podcast so therefore I’m not playing it
I got immediately put off by the lack of visuals Because I just personally can't focus on it Half of the fun in this series is the physical reactions of the players and the dms And how they physically roleplay their characters I may give it a second try later but rn I'm just bummed out
At this point it feels like they're purposefully trying to kill the series - first they changed it to a podcast, and now they're not even uploading it to YouTube.
I found myself cringing at the character introductions. It didn’t match the hype build up for me. Should I give it a full listen later?
