Founded by CEO and host Troy Lavallee, along with network co-founders Joe O’Brien, Skid Maher, and Matthew Capodicasa, The Glass Cannon Podcast has expanded into a full RPG entertainment network. The cast of the flagship show also features fan-favorite players Sydney Amanuel and Kate Stamas, who bring their own unique energy to the show’s ever-evolving stories.
“Joining Realm at this exciting point in our company’s trajectory feels like a perfect match,” said Glass Cannon CEO Troy Lavallee. “There’s a reason the top names in media have flocked to Realm’s banner, and we look forward to the opportunity to take our unique brand of entertainment to the next level with them.”
This year marks a series of major milestones for The Glass Cannon Podcast, including a 12-city tour and a 10-year anniversary celebration and retreat this June in Las Vegas. This summer, fans can anticipate the finale of The Glass Cannon Podcast Campaign Two and the start of a brand new Campaign Three as well as the long-awaited third season of their Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign, Time For Chaos. Additionally, The Glass Cannon Podcast will feature an interactive exhibition booth at Gen Con 2025 in Indianapolis.
