Great RPG podcast
The Effekt podcast is an entertaining table top roleplaying game podcasts that focuses on games of Swedish origin. The hosts of the show, Matthew and Dave, are the friendly roleplaying version of Waldorf and Statler with a long history of gaming and friendly banter. Like many middle-aged players, they have played various RPG systems and settings and can draw from that experience. Both have found a strong liking for the excellent games published by Swedish publisher Free League. Each episode, they summarise news in the world of indy games, review a new product, host an interview guest or present a short essay about a specific topic (e.g. rules, setting or rpg concepts). I have been following their podcasts since they still called it the Coriolis Effect and was only focused on one of the games by Free Leagues. Since then, Matt and Dave have honed and developed their podcasting skills and have further introduced me to the fabulous world of Swedish RPGs (Tales from the Loop, Symbaroum, Aliens, Vaesen and Forbidden Lands). This has come with a cost since I have joined the cult of Free League Kickstarters. As an experienced player and GM of similar age, I am enjoying their thoughts on settings, game design and game mastering. I can recommend Effekt podcast to any player or GM who is interested to look beyond the standard D&D fare and is curious about the great world of Swedish game design. I can also advise listeners to join Matt and Dave Discord server as a Paetron. Our bantering hosts have built up a friendly RPG community that discusses games and also do run games for passionate players and Paetrons. Finally, it is worth to listen to their Effekt actual play episodes and get an idea of the various game systems. The bet is still on who of the two is the better GM. I hope this dynamic duo will keep up their entertaining and informative work.

The pod is a nice mix of friends talking about games they love and new game content to add to your campaigns. I like the pod and have for quite some time.

One of the best roleplaying podcasts. Their mix of actual play and discussions about the games works really well. Also, good interviews, additonal background material, and game rule improvements.
