  • An easy to listen to anime cast

    I like that a couple is doing this cast. It adds a more relatable atmosphere to the show and as person above 30, this can be hard to find.

  • Exactly what I needed

    It’s casual enough that it feels like I’m just listening to a fun chat about anime between friends, but it’s informative enough that I always learn something. So what if the hosts have opinions that aren’t always the same as mine? That’s part of the fun!

There is no question about that.
253. Strictly Chatting
Q: Do you want to start with an anime topic?
You know, I guess since we are first and foremost an anime podcast, we should talk first about anime before we get into some of the more random topics.
226. Strictly Anime 5 Year Anniversary Q&A
Q: Are you guys happy with how the podcast turned out? Is there anything you wish you did differently?
Honestly, I'm thrilled. I did not think five years ago that we would be where we are today, and there's nothing that I regret doing a certain way or that I wish we had done differently.
226. Strictly Anime 5 Year Anniversary Q&A
Q: How long do you guys realistically think you will keep the pod going?
Realistically, we would just keep it going as long as we have the bandwidth to do so, especially as our kids get older and become more independent.

I'm Brian, host of the TV and Movie Trivia Podcast, a trivia style podcast specializing in TV and movies, which was also my favorite round of trivia at Bar Trivia.
