The World Kiln Podcast

Welcome to The World Kiln Podcast—where worlds are forged!

You know that moment when you're building your world and suddenly realize you have absolutely no idea why something works the way it does?

Maybe your town holds a massive celebration every month on the third Thursday.

Why the third Thursday?

Who decided that? Why does everyone still do it? What happened the first time? And why did the tradition survive?

Suddenly, a tiny detail has a story of its own.

And that's the thing about building worlds: the deeper you dig, the more questions you find. Some you know you need to answer. Some you haven't even thought to ask.

So what happens when we start asking those questions?

Join Klayton and Tim, two passionate worldbuilders with more than 35 years of combined experience, as we explore the art, craft, challenges, and downright fun of building worlds.

We'll share what we've learned, challenge assumptions, explore different perspectives, and learn alongside you. Because worldbuilding is an ever-evolving craft, and there's always another question waiting to be asked.

Whether you're building a world for a novel, a D&D campaign, a game, or simply because you love creating, pull up a chair and join the conversation.

Because when worldbuilders grow, the worlds they create grow with them—and better worlds give better stories room to thrive.

Bring your ideas. Stoke the fire. Forge your world.
