Episode Forty Six: Don’t Wear White After Labor Day

Amber and Valerie are the hosts of the Cosplay Podcast, CosPod, now in it's 11th season!  They've been cosplaying for almost 20 years and joined us for some stories of running around in costume, hosting, not wanting to be touched in all white costumes and a whole lot more.  Make sure to head over their way and check out their podcast as well!

Episode Forty Five: Red Leather Vash

If you've gone to Anime Boston since 2004, then you most likely know of the 'Red Leather Vash' and this week, we got to sit down with Rob aka Sketch and talk about what lead up to his first cosplay, the events of the day that lead up to masquerade and promises of stories still yet to come.  And like nine standing ovations... maybe it was six.

Episode Forty Four: Top Ten Of 2021

Just as the title says!  We've gone back through the year to find out most downloaded episodes of 2021.  All your favorites are here on this list, or perhaps you didn't even know they existed, in which case, you're welcome.  Here's to 2022, Happy New Year everyone!

Episode Forty Three: The Hot J-Pop Vendor Knows Who I Am

Holly is here this week!  We went over a lot of things, like working for conventions, Katsucon, being left out in the cold in a Sailor Scout costume, poor choices made in cosplay.  Mostly by your host, not the guest.  This and more with our last guest of 2021!

Episode Forty Two: Questionable Car Rides

Christain is on this week and he just happens to the THE Gibby from a few episodes before.  We got some more to the dating game story, accepting rides from strangers on the internet and someone finally opened up a Pandora's box no one else had touched upon on this show.  Certainly not one to be missed!

Episode Forty One: Meet The Flintstones

Elizabeth is back this week!  You might recall she was our first guest on the show many moons ago and since then as been to a convention out in the real world!  We talked about her trip to DragonCon, cosplaying with her new husband, upcoming conventions and at one point I basically force her to talk about a terrible 'roommate' situation.  It might be another 41 episodes till she comes back...

Episode Forty: Honeymoon Convention

Erza joins us this week and it's all about cosplay photography, honeymooning at a convention and having several senior moments about what the hell our favorite anime characters are named.

Episode Thirty Nine: Gibby, Cover Your Nipples

Dan Donnelly, aka Desperado Dan on YouTube join us this week!  We talked about filming events at conventions, not being offensive in cosplay and having no tolerance for people that do offensive things in cosplay, as well as an odd Death Match match up.

Episode Thirty Eight: Burn That Bridge!

Melissa McCommon, of the webcomic Epic Chaos! is here with us this week to share stories from first conventions, Sacanime, artist alley, and meeting your idols.  So many fun stories, we barely scratched the surface!
