## Resource

This week, we’re switching things up. Instead of our usual deep dive into the books, we’re breaking down some real-world Dungeon Crawler Carl content—an author interview and a Reddit AMA with Matt Dinniman. From behind-the-scenes insights to unexpected character details, there’s a lot to unpack. We dig into what we learned about Matt’s writing style, favorite characters, and the chaotic, often unplanned nature of the series. Plus, we get into some bigger conversations—like the future of the TV adaptation, the role of AI in creative work, and just how wild the fandom has gotten lately (yes… including the keychain frenzy). It’s a more freeform, stream-of-consciousness episode, but packed with insights, theories, and plenty of tangents you won’t want to miss. We are taking a hiatus starting on 4/12, our next episode will drop on 5/12 when book 8 comes out.
