Every Monday, Daniel Rustage (who you might know as Rustage) and Shwabadi settle in for a conversation that feels like catching up with friends who have too many passions to count. Down The Hobby Hole is exactly what it sounds like: a deep, often delightfully tangential dive into the worlds of hobbies, interests, and those all-consuming hyper-fixations. As a musician, dungeon master, and self-proclaimed man of many hobbies, Rustage and his equally eclectic co-host Shwabadi explore everything from tabletop games and video games to any other pastime that captures their relentless curiosity. The charm of this podcast lies in its authentic, meandering discussions where they might dissect the intricacies of their own latest obsessions one week, and the next, welcome a guest to help them uncover the nuances of a completely new pursuit. You’ll hear the genuine excitement and deep knowledge that comes from people who don’t just dabble but truly immerse themselves. It’s less an interview show and more a shared exploration, making each episode a chance to either see your own niche interest reflected or to get convincingly sold on trying something entirely different. New episodes drop every Monday morning, ready to add a spark of inspired distraction to your week.
