Otaku 5-0 Season 1: Episode 13

Aloha everybody!

I am pleased to present the next episode of our podcast!

Based on a suggestion from Jupiter, we decided to do an Electronics-themed episode which I think turned out to be pretty good. Also, to make up for the lack of a podcast episode last week, I decided to produce an hour-long episode. As such, I am also pleased to announce that this episode is currently the longest we have ever done!

Enjoy!

Producer's Note: Oops! During the episode, I give March 9, 2009 as the release date for the upcoming live-action Watchmen movie. As it turns out, this is incorrect. The movie actually premieres 3 days earlier (March 6, 2009).

Otaku 5-0 Season 1: Episode 12

Aloha everybody!

I am proud to present the latest episode of the podcast!

A note of interest: This is the first podcast that features a short musical break. Circumstances during the recording session prevented us from making a start-to-finish recording, so the episode was broken into two parts, and then reconstituted during post-production.

WARNING! Portions of this podcast contains mature language. Listener discretion is advised.
