The Kingdom of Valedorn prides itself on diversity.

Humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, goblins, beastfolk, halflings, dragonkin and dozens of other peoples live beneath the same crown.

Whether they actually like each other is another matter entirely.

Fortunately, there's a podcast for that.

Broadcast from beneath a tavern in the capital, The People's Mouth has become the most infamous magical talk show in the kingdom.

Do elves secretly control Valedorn's banks?

Are dragons deliberately manipulating the price of gold?

Why are goblins buying abandoned mines?

Do dwarves maintain tunnels beneath government buildings?

Are healing potions turning frogs into bards?

And where did that study claiming orcs commit eighty percent of the crimes despite comprising twenty percent of the population actually come from?

Nobody knows.

Tonight's episode promises to be particularly calm.

A demon ambassador is here to explain why opening Valedorn's borders to the Demon Realms would be beneficial because demons are, in his words, "an exceptionally peaceful and kind people."

A royal minister has already threatened to resign.

The orc guest brought statistics.

The elf professor brought corrections.

Somebody outside is protesting.

And you have been given the remaining microphone.

The recording crystal turns red.

They're live.

Gods help the kingdom.
