You know those commercial/instructional videos that show how wearing steel-toed shoes keeps your feet from being crushed on accident on a work-site? That’s what my mech is used for
Before discovering On the Shoulders of Giants, my life was in disarray, I was lost and alone. Now I am whole. No longer do I sit in silence as I build my mecha model kits. The net is vast and infinite, and so too is my appreciation for this podcast.
While I have plenty of episodes to go, OtSoG is a fantastic listen of analysis and breakdowns of a bunch of mech media I've enjoyed (as well as plenty I've not had the pleasure of experiencing). Also, it's pretty queer, and that's always a bonus. Highly reccomended!

Right now this is far and away my favorite podcast. The cast have great chemistry and are always a blast to listen to!
