If anyone remembers, we had originally planned to make The Speakeasy our monthly rant section on the blog. That instead became the Final Denouement. The Speakeasy has instead become our monthly podcast. I hope everyone is cool with the change. We know we are super excited! We will being doing a monthly podcast which is generously being hosted courtesy of Anime 3000. The goal is to have a meta-podcast. There are already so many good anime and manga podcasts that review so much that we wanted something a little different. The Speakeasy is going to be a 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. If you were ever curious about our conversations that are the genesis of our posts then this will be utterly enlightening. If you never wondered about that, hopefully you will still enjoy the show!
If you are looking for us on iTunes you can find us on the Anime3000 network podcast feed!
