December 19, 2017 rap_2016 0 Comments

Hi Everyone,

A few months ago I recorded a one off podcast with Doc of the Warui Deshou podcast. As we are both anime dads, we had a chat about our anime backgrounds, our kids and anime and took a look at the best and worst examples of fatherhood in anime.

We talk about Evangelion, Gundam, Capeta, The Napping Princess, Kids on the Slopes and a whole lot more.

It was a lot of to do, so please have a listen and check out Doc’s regular podcast Warui Deshou and follow him on twitter @thesubtledoctor

Podcast – #9 ‘Before they were famous’

December 15, 2017 rap_2016 0 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Episode 9 of the podcast is out. As a really big fan of Studio Ghibli and Isao Takahata in particular I wanted to take a look at what Takahata and compatriot Hayao Miyazaki were doing before they setup Studio Ghibli. So Lewis and I delve back into the late 60’s and early 70’s to look at two of their earliest works with reviews of Horus – Prince of the Sun and the Panda! Go, Panda! short films.

Podcast – Second album syndrome!

January 12, 2017 rap_2016 0 Comments

So it has been several months since we put up the first episode and then nothing!

There is a good reason for that!

Lewis got a job in Dublin in September and unfortunately with the move and him getting settled into his new job and house it has meant he hasn’t been able to do the podcast much to both our frustrations. The good news is that Lewis is now settled and we’re preparing to record the next episode. Lewis is watching the material this weekend so hopefully we’ll record the following week and I’ve lined up content for the next half dozen episodes or so and that should help get us into the regular recording routine that we both want to get into to.

We haven’t disappeared and are alive and kicking, check back here or on twitter for news on the next episode.

Thanks for reading,

Ian
