How-to Otaku! An Anime Podcast

by Brogan McGowan and Joshua Thorne

Brogan has seen a lot of anime, but Josh has barely seen any. So together, we will explore this creative, unique and often unhinged medium, one show at a time. With an alternating schedule, covering shorter shows and movies in-between arcs of larger shows, there's no shortage of fun and interesting insights to explore! New episodes every other Monday here on Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts.
