Last weekend, at Animazement in Raleigh, NC, Sully got the chance to sit down with voice actor Linda Young, most famous for her iconic portrayal of the evil Frieza in the first Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Z! Besides Frieza, Linda has a long history of acting and voice work, from stage and commercials, to other anime roles. Notably she can be heard as Genkai in the dub of Yu Yu Hakusho, and the land lady in Double Decker. Huge thanks to Linda for coming on the show, and to Animazement for making this possible!  Thank you for listening!  If you'd like to support our show, please consider sharing our show with your friends, or donate to us on either Ko-Fi or Patreon!

Last weekend at Animazement in Raleigh, NC, Bill and I had the pleasure of having Robert Woodhead on the show. Robert is the Founder and CEO of Wilmington, NC's AnimEigo, one of the oldest anime licensing companies in North America. Anime fans these days would know them best for their highly successful Kickstarter campaigns to re-release titles such as Bubblegum Crisis, Otaku no Video, Riding Bean, and most recently, Gunsmith Cats.  Huge thanks to Robert for coming on the show! And thanks to Animazement for making this possible.  Note: Please pardon the audio quality on this episode. It was recorded with a phone on the convention floor, but it sounds better than you'd think?

Back in Episode 44, Sully, Bill, and Austin discussed the Konmari method of tidying up. Since then, Marie Kondo has become an online sensation with her recent Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo that released in January. In this episode, we take a look at her new show and reevaluate our thoughts on her method and how to apply it to anime/nerd fandom. We also answer twitter questions, both related and unrelated! Note: This episode was recorded BEFORE Kingdom Hearts III was released so Austin gushes a bit about his anticipation for it in the catch up segment. Look out for the next episode to get his brief thoughts on the game, and look forward to a special bonus episode dedicated completely to Kingdom Hearts III sometime in the near future.  The theme music this week is the opening song from Cheers. Listen and you'll know why.  Have you seen Tidying Up with Marie Kondo yet? Are you a fan of her method? Not a fan?

We are so excited to share with you all our interview with the legendary, the iconic, the incomparable Tiffany Grant! You may know Tiffany from her performances in innumerable ADV Films and Sentai Filmworks dubs, including her most iconic role as Asuka Langley Soryu/Shikinami in Neon Genesis Evangelion and the Rebuild of Evangelion films. Tiffany was kind enough to give us some of her time to pick her brain about voice acting, how anime dubs/conventions have changed over time, what Evangelion means to her, and what happened with the original 3.0 dub.  If you'd like to connect with Tiffany online, check out her official fan club: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2405597801/ Also, most importantly, since Netflix is bringing back Neon Genesis Evangelion with a brand-new english dub this year, definitely sign the petition for them to bring back the original cast to reprise their roles! Also, please share it with your friends, @ Netflix, and include the hashtag #TiffanyIsAsuka.  Petition link: https://www.change.org/p/netflix-netflix-use-the-original-voice-actors-for-evangelion-re-dub Special thanks again to Tiffany for coming on the show! This will not be our only NGE related podcast coming this year. Look out for many more!  Want to support our podcast?
