Over the winter, Japan celebrated the 50th anniversary of one of Osamu Tezuka's most beloved characters: Black Jack! And since it's one of my favorite manga, you know I had to do a podcast episode to celebrate! Joining me, on loan from the Anime World Order Podcast is fellow podcaster & Black Jack fan Clarissa! Listen as we talk about Black Jack's history, his similarities with Tezuka himself, and just why we love this iconic manga doctor as we try to convince you to give this wild medical manga a try.

Anime World Order Guest Spot!

If you’re traveling this holiday season & need something to listen to, I was invited to be on the most recent ep of AWO! You can listen to me totally blank out on answering anime related trivia questions. XD It was lots of fun though, thanks for having me, guys!

"Guest" spot

Hey everyone! I missed when it was initially released, but the new episode of the Anime82 Podcast is part 1 of a guest Q&A series that I participated with! You can hear me answer questions on older anime along with the hosts from other podcasts, such as Anime World Order, Eeper's Choice, Anime Pacific, and Anime of Yesteryear! Kinda long, but feel free to check it out, the other parts will be released in the future.
