The Kit & Krysta Podcast

Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang spent years inside Nintendo of America's marketing and PR group, hosting the official Nintendo Minute video series and working on launches that shaped how the company talked to its audience. After leaving the company in 2022 they started this podcast to talk openly about the gaming industry from the perspective of two people who used to live inside the corporate machine. That insider angle is what makes the show different. When they discuss a Nintendo announcement, a marketing misstep, or a leadership change at a publisher, the analysis goes places other podcasts cannot reach because Kit and Krysta have actually sat in those meetings. They cover the business of games broadly, not just Nintendo, with episodes touching on Microsoft acquisitions, layoffs, the state of E3 and replacement events, and how PR teams actually work behind the scenes. Interviews with former colleagues, developers, and journalists fill out the schedule. The hosting is warm and self-deprecating, with plenty of laughs about embarrassing on-camera moments from their old jobs. Episodes typically run an hour. For anyone curious about how the sausage gets made at a major game publisher, or anyone who just wants smart industry talk from two people who clearly love games, this one earns its spot.
