This episode of Rock For Initiative brings in JT and Nikhil from Moving Boxes for a conversation about Dungeons & Dragons, geography, nature apps, and fantasy novels.

We kick off with the story behind the song "Hot Brennan Lee Mulligan" from Moving Boxes' new album, then dive into D&D, including JT's life as a forever DM and why clerics are his favorite. From there, Nikhil explains how a childhood love of map games turned into a lifelong passion for geography, linguistics, and GeoGuessr, and JT geeks out about iNaturalist, Pokémon, and a one-handed Mediterranean house gecko. We also talk fantasy books, including The Priory of the Orange Tree, Brandon Sanderson, and Dungeon Crawler Carl.

JT and Nikhil trace their very different paths into emo, from indie and shoegaze to Bollywood and electropop, and Nikhil and I bond over Weezer. Then we get into Moving Boxes' new album "Nothing So Certain" (which rocks).
