Welcome to EXP-lore, a podcast by All Mana of Games, where geeks, gamers, and pop culture fanatics unite! Whether you’re a die-hard Trekkie, a comic book collector, a tabletop adventurer, or just someone who loves a deep dive into all things nerdy, this is the podcast for you.
Each week, we explore our love for sci-fi, fantasy, comics, gaming, and more. Join us as we break down epic movie moments, debate iconic characters, share hilarious fandom stories, and nerd out about everything from cult classics to hidden gems.
Whether you’re leveling up your knowledge or rolling for initiative, there’s something here for every kind of nerd. So grab your headphones, geek out with us, and celebrate the fandoms that make life awesome!
In this bonus episode, we put our improvisation skills to the test with a game of FunEmployed, the card game where job interviews take a very strange turn. Each round, one of us becomes the employer while the rest scramble to build the most ridiculous résumé possible from a handful of bizarre qualifications.
From questionable life skills to completely unhinged work histories, we attempt to convince the interviewer that we are somehow the perfect candidate for jobs we are wildly unqualified for. As the interviews spiral further into chaos, the line between confidence and complete nonsense quickly disappears.
Expect plenty of improv, terrible career advice, and some truly unforgettable interview pitches as we see who can land the job with the most ridiculous credentials.

Maybe it’s Maple-ene
In this milestone episode, we settle in for a relaxed discussion of our latest hot takes, opinions on all things nerdy, and the debates that keep us talking long past the final credits. From games and books to films and fandoms, nothing is off-limits when it comes to sharing what we think and why.
Adding to the chaos, we’re also trying to corral Mike’s new puppy while keeping an eye on her antics. Between the heated debates and unexpected puppy interruptions, this episode is part thoughtful discussion, part comedy, and all-around chaotic fun.
Whether you’re here for the nerd talk, the opinions, or just to watch a puppy steal the spotlight, this episode has something for everyone.

Who's Event is it Anyway?
It has been a busy month for us in the world of tabletop events. In this episode, we recap all the events we have attended, hosted, and been involved in over the past few weeks.
We reflect on the highlights, the standout games, the community moments, and the differences between organising an event and simply enjoying one as a participant. It is a full catch-up on a packed month of gaming and socialising.
If you have been following our events or are curious about what we have been up to lately, this episode brings you right up to speed.
