The Speakeasy is an ongoing conversation between the two of us about themes, trends, and concepts present in anime and manga and along side that sometimes there will be a critical analysis of fandom. We sometimes have guests as well.
S.W.A.T. Reviews are where we watch the first episode of a series and then immediately sit down to record a review. The reviews are five- to ten-minutes long and entirely off the cuff.
Crime Scene Investigations are random bonus podcasts that we record from various events. There is no regular schedule for these. We will put them up as quickly as we can when the opportunity for one occurs. We suspect they will mostly be from conventions but we might work in some interviews and conversations from other events as fate allows.
