Episode 22 – A Half-tastic MomoCon Review

Posted in Podcasts by akibaren on 2009/05/15

A magnificent podcast as Marc and Drew sit down and discuss MomoCon for what they thought would be a brief discussion.

Marc sets a dangerous precedent by offering a party for listeners once a single episode’s downloads surpass the number of fingers on a normal individual’s fingers on two hands!

So, order your drinks by downloading this podcast!

Hosts: Marc Smazik and Drew Sutton

Podcast Notes:

MomoCon really deserves to be plugged. Also, Drew is prepared to take comments on numerous rounds of potential libel and slander.

Episode 21 – A Podcast Abortion

Posted in Podcasts by akibaren on 2009/05/09

Episode 21 is finally ready (or not) to go! In this episode, we find out how much Drew loves the 1980s as we review Megazone 23 PART 1 and Project A-ko. I don’t think his co-hosts will ever forgive him.

Drew picked a fine time to get concerned over quality. At least, what he has control over and that’s what has taken so long for this to get posted. Episodes 22, 23 and 24 are already recorded and won’t be experiencing the same delay, so please stay tuned as they will be coming out shortly and we’ll be caught up to speed yet again.

Hosts: Drew Sutton, Marc Smazik, Jason Brown and Richard Hoelsher.

Podcast Omake 1 – OSMCast_Renditions Tokusatsu Three Way

Posted in Podcasts by akibaren on 2009/05/01

This is not a normal episode by any length because we talk about a con AT A CON and are Richard and Drew areĀ  GUESTS on OUR OWN show. Plus – to get even more trippy, this is actually the SECOND piece of bonus material recorded at the convention for Akihabara Renditions. We introduce (not really) a guest and friend of ours, Jason Sohiel Asgari of gaijINside.com in an earlier bonus track and we’ll post that later. Now for the episode you care about (not really)!

Download the episode here!

Special thanks go out to Basil and Kevin of OSMcast, first for Basil for hosting and then Kevin for filling in mid way through and to Jason Sohiel Asgari for joining us to talk about conventions and men in rubber suits.

Podcast Notes:

None of us can count conventions who use “non-sequential” numbering schemes, also known as “themes”. We spend the first part talking about the actual convention in a real-time fashion (unlike a real review, which we sit on for three weeks and then not post it for another month). Then, Basil has to leave and his compadre Kevin fills in to help Richard and Jason school Drew on the magical fairy land that is Japanese special effects hero programming, more shortly known as tokusatsu.
