WHO WE ARE
Many Sided Media is a podcasting company that aims to build and grow a community of TTRPG players, creators, and fans through a variety of game-themed content.
Our flagship podcast, My First Dungeon, features host Brian Flaherty guiding game masters and players through games new and old as we learn together to make them as fun as possible for all involved. Each season features an interview between Brian and our GM (often with a special appearance from the creator of the game themselves), an actual play of the game with our core cast plus lots of exciting special guests, and a talkback where we discuss what went right, what went wrong and how we can make the next game even better than the last.
Many Sided Media plans to build on the fun times we’ve had on My First Dungeon with a variety of tabletop shows, the Twenty Sided Newsletter, Many Sided Media plans to build on the fun times we’ve had on My First Dungeon with a variety of tabletop shows, the Twenty Sided Newsletter, and so many plans for the future.
We are an NYC-based group but love to collaborate with players, GMs, and designers all over the world. If you’re interested in working or playing with us, reach out!

(he/him)
AKA “moreblueberries,” is an artist, producer, game designer and all-around fan of making things.

Abby Hepworth
(she/her)
didn’t even know what a TTRPG was until the pandemic forced her indoors and left her to the mercy of her D&D-loving partner, Brian Flaherty, but boy howdy did she take to the fun like a bard to lute playing. You can find her in most seasons of My First Dungeon, as well as on the improvised comedy podcast Sounds Funny Radio. By day she is a fashion editor for the women’s lifestyle website PureWow, and if you can’t seem to track her down at any of the usual places, she’s probably out for a run or hike in the great wide wilderness of NYC.
