The Kaito & Red Show
The Kaito & Red Show is a laid-back, weekly gaming podcast where two friends — one in Scotland, the other in Canada — dive into the games they’re playing, what’s new in the world of gaming, and tackle the all-important Question of the Week.
Each hour-long episode is a casual, unfiltered conversation between Kaito and Red, full of honest opinions, personal stories, the occasional rant, and plenty of laughs. Whether you’re a lifelong gamer or just like hearing friends talk games across time zones, this might be your new favorite gaming hangout.
New episodes every week. Come for the games, stay for the friendship.
