There's also a lot of cat mentions too :) Enjoy this start to Season 7! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spoti ..read more

I can't believe we reached the 100th Episode! As always, I'm happy to share it with the S-Tier team that is Mink the Satyr & Dannylions! We spend the time catching up on what we've been up to since the last episode we did together. This includes conventions, cosplays done, photoshoots and our plans into 2024! I legit did have notes written out but wild turns and tangents were taken, which I was hoping for <3. Enjoy this chaotic but fun episode. I can't thank you all enough for the love and support you've shown me on my podcast journey. Here's to whatever the new year brings us!! --- Sen ..read more

It's been a long time since I last had the wonderful Karnagecos on my show. Back then, it was more so like an in-depth interview and details on how cosplay is in Australia. This time, they helped out by adding in a discussion about Crunchyroll Expo and the insane execution of the event down in AU. It soon was coming back to me all the stories I heard of online with the Expo hall being capped, amount of tickets being over sold, and long lines to get in. The main focus of PAX Australia came into play and it turned into both Karnage telling her experience there, companies that attended and compar ..read more

Within the first 5 minutes, I knew Starner was going to be such a delight to talk to and you get to see just how/why with this episode! You DEFINITELY see the age difference between us as Starner goes in detail about her origins into this hobby. Being in the 5th grade and learning about cons whereas I was in college at around this time frame 0-0. With anecdotes like running around the playground Naruto style (which honestly who hasn't!) to her affiliation with more anime themed cosplays but of COURSE I had to poke her brain regarding her favor towards DC Comics and the many many iterations of ..read more

I had the unique and exciting opportunity to interview Andrew Liptak about his new book, Cosplay: A History. We hit the ground running with Andrew giving us his full blown origin story and how Star Wars pretty much kick-started his love of pop culture and all things nerdy. From learning Star Wars themed music pieces in high school band, to even joining the 501st Legion. That latter part is the overall theme in this book as it takes a look at the history of cosplay from the very first cosplayer ever recorded back in the 1930s to people attending the World Fair and so much more. In this chat, An ..read more

My PAX East coverage continues with a chat alongside Mink the Satyr! It really was a treat getting to spend each day with her as she was rocking Pokemon cosplays for each day. We took a look at how the overall convention was coming back after the pandemic shut everything down. It was sort of surreal as this was my last convention in 2020 so to see my friends after 2 years, it hit me hard emotionally. You'll hear about some of my experiences with my Media appointments I had with game previews being saved to a future episode. Mink also had her hands full with multiple panels so you'll get to see ..read more

I am overly excited to be joined by best girl/cosplay waifu Jaycee Cosplay as we talk about her time at Katsucon back in February. It was interesting to hear how the con has changed as we sort of enter a return to normalcy in the events circuit. Jaycee talks about the cosplays she brought along for the trip, adventures in rooming with some close friends of hers along with many hilarious moments about her being "an old lady" and wanting to be in bed at a reasonable time. So while there wasn't any after-party info/insight, Jess DID talk about her time in the dealers room and artist alley. From p ..read more

This lengthy episode was another wonderful talk and Emris Coscept is just a delightful individual. After finding out she's as big of a Nightwing fan as I am (subsequently gushing over the character for 30 min) we go into many of her cosplays that I personally enjoyed from her Trevor Belmont, to Bombshell Killer Frost. Plus, Emris also talks about her recent photoshoot done as a gorgeous take on Amaterasu. Which also leads into a discussion about collaborations between cosplayer and photographer. Including the various circumstances on who controls the creative direction of photoshoots. She also ..read more

I got to talk with another new and wonderful creator for this episode. Kayjora Cosplay has been creating some stellar cosplays since her start into the hobby only a few years back. From her Boka Tan to an amazing Black Cat 2099, we discuss her origins in discovering the hobby. The bulk of this episode really hammers in the point of how cosplay has done so much good to the both of us. We also totally fangirl over Jessica Nigri as one does (along with hearing some stuff from Kayjora that really brought me back to when I started cosplay). How we're in a continuous golden age of cosplay informatio ..read more
