Convention Confessional

Episode Ninety Three: On Wednesdays, We Cosplay From Marvel

Jen is here!  And by the time this podcast is done, you'll love her as much as we do.  She swung by to talk Star Lord, Star Wars and Harry Potter cosplay.  Well, Harry Potter before Joanne decided to make poor life choices.

Episode Ninety Two: The Official Weeaboo Cookbook

Sami came on the show to talk about her first convention experience!  Being 'chaperoned' by her brother who was in different hotel room on the other side of the convention... We also talked about my new cookbook, how conventions have changed through the years and more!

Episode Ninety One: Let Me Eat My Dino Chicken Nuggets In Peace

Tory, Anime Boston's Best In Show Performance Winner 2023, came on the show to talk about the experience!  We also discussed when it is and isn't okay to take pictures, not asking for uncomfortable pictures and cats.  Those topics aren't related, but who doesn't love talking about their fur babies?

Episode Ninety: 20 Questions 2, Electric Boogaloo

What better way to kick off our third season, than getting the gang back together?  We got the gang back together for another round of 20 Questions and no one disappointed!  Lots of sage advice from some cosplay veterans.

Episode Eighty Nine: Momma Didn’t Raise A Quitter

Mel is back this week and have we got some tales to tell.  We lament about the days before wigs were so good and sacrificing our own hair, group cosplays and other sound advice for those competing!

Episode Eighty Eight: Top Ten of 2022!

HERE IT IS!  Your favorites of 2022 and we were delighted to see such a great group of people's stories being appreciated!  It was such a close call this time around, because of wonderful listeners like you being so consistent with your downloads.  If only we could be the same... ANYWAYS!  Thanks so much for an amazing year and we can't wait to see what we're brought in 2023!  Happy Everything Everyone!

Episode Eighty Seven: The Search For ’Hot Guy’

Liz has finally landed on the podcast and as the 'newest' cosplayer of the friends group, we talked about some of her favorite moments of the past ten years.  First con, first guest, first creep and more!  We also brought up a boy who has alluded her for several years at Dragoncon and how I'm certain they're meant to be.

Episode Eighty Six: Don’t Feed The Trolls

Some people were a little upset about our stance on certain voice actors last week, so Ryan came around to discuss it.  But we also spoke about other types of trolls.  And how our host is always right, especially when it comes to judging people.  Their personal cross to bear.

Episode Eighty Five: Beam Me Up, Scotty

It's guest palooza this week on the show!  Patrick joins the five timers club as we talk about some great guest encounters.  Which include: playing DOOM with the Mystery Science Theater 3000 people, Scotty from Star Trek, and some not to great times with Vic Mignogna.  Also, full disclosure, we don't support Vic on bit on the podcast.  Period. 

Episode Eighty Four: Dance Shorts Aren’t Optional

Jess and I have done some serious (and not so serious) judging in our lives.  One time we judged a whole masquerade before it was even done.  Well, it was done, but no one seemed to mention it to their last contestant...  ANYWAYS!  This week, we're all about our best and worst moments judging and hand out some helpful tips to those making their way on stage.  The general message is JUST HAVE FUN!
