    Hey Rough Translation,

    It’s been a year. I hope the cast has been doing well.

    Some of us in your meager fandom want to hear from you folks again, on rough translation topics, even if it’s just to re-hash old episodes, and maybe or maybe not make some commentary on how the perspective from about five years ago has likely changed in the year of 2025.

    Either way, good luck to you all.
