A gaming podcast for everybody
Despite being nominally a KARTAS records conversations between the two hosts (and occasionally even guests) on a range of topics — movies, history, occultism, occult- and science-adjacent flimflam, and even food. The two hosts, gruff Chicagoan Ken Hite and non-gruff Torontonian Robin Laws, are respected figures in the field of tabletop roleplaying games. Their focus is often on how some historical fact or facts can be adapted for use in a role-playing game, but the erudition they display in selecting and analyzing their topics, and the wit they display in their presentations, make this a worthwhile podcast even if you aren’t a regular gamer. The hosts’ ability to keep the show moving and natural make it fun to listen to. I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced “NYAR-lat HO-tep,” though.

More reviews of Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff
I was excited when I first heard about this podcast and I wasn't disappointed. The podcast is about two of the best game designers (Robin Laws and Kenneth Hite) talking about games, gaming, history and pop culture. I have already become a better gamer from listening to the first two episodes.

I never miss this podcast. I get great GMing advice, learn about new games, and always get a an interesting history lesson. Ken and Robin have a great rapport. They do all of the above while being very entertaining.
