| - The Glass Cannon is a podcast based on the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game by Paizo Publishing, and is the flagship podcast of (GCN). The first episode was released on June 16, 2015, and over 300 episodes have been produced. Its cast includes actors and comedians. The podcast mostly follows the Giantslayer adventure path from Paizo and uses homebrew content to further flesh out the backstories of characters outside the purview of the main adventure path resources. By mandate of the podcast creators, no individual episode synopsis is available. Listeners are encouraged to begin at Episode 1 “Introducing Tom Exposition” for the full experience. Originally, the Glass Cannon Podcast (GCP) started as an idea of Troy Lavallee. It happened when he was getting back into stand-up comedy and started listening to Tuesdays with Stories. He initially branched into some RPG podcasts and sampled Nerd Poker and The Adventure Zone. During this time he thought: "my gaming group is way funnier than this and we play the game at such a higher level, why the hell aren't we doing a podcast?!" Lavallee then pitched his idea for the GCP to Joe O'Brien and Skid Maher and the podcast was born. The Pathfinder system was chosen as their setting because they were fans of the content, and noticed that podcasts based on Dungeons & Dragons were ubiquitous. They also felt the lack of Pathfinder podcasts meant they would have a greater chance of standing out in the crowd. In 2018 the GCN's licensing partnership with Paizo was extended three years. By January 2019, O'Brien announced he would join fellow host Lavallee in quitting his day job to foster the growth of the podcast and GCN. This push for financial independence increased the need to monetize their content through trial advertisements on a sister podcast called Androids & Aliens (A&A). In April, A&A joined the lineup of podcasts produced by . During the COVID-19 outbreak, the podcast has consisted of recordings of online sessions following shorter Pathfinder modules, called "Side Quest Side Sesh." Modules have included "The Feast of Ravenmoor," "The Midnight Mirror," and "Carrion Hill." The first episode aired live on Twitch on March 31, 2020, and was later uploaded to other platforms like YouTube, iTunes, and Spotify. The podcast donates $50 for each instance of a confirmed critical hit or fumble to the Coronavirus Pandemic fund by Direct Relief. (en)
