“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.”
