Audio Podcast: Season 6, Episode 15

Episode 107

Aloha everybody!

I regret to inform you that due to technical difficulties, I am only able to present a portion of what would've been our Season 6 finale episode. Among the topics that were lost were a discussion on the AMC series "The Walking Dead" along with a special segment bidding farewell to Jupiter, one of our Executive Producers for this show.

So in lieu of a proper farewell, let me take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt "Mahalo" to Jupiter for her consistent generosity, wisdom and passion to this show. I wish her well in her future endeavors and the void that will be left by her absence will be quite substantial indeed.

I have often said that this podcast is a journey with no particular destination in mind. And I have been privileged to share this journey with not just with our audience, but with the talented people that have recorded our podcast episodes with me. Jupiter has been with this show since our first season, and although her part in journey has come to its end, she will always remain a presence in our thoughts.

And so, in tribute to Jupiter's contributions over the past four years, I am proud to include her all-time favorite segment: the Laura Bailey Interview!


Mahalo,
~Totoro (Creator, Executive Producer)

Aloha everybody!

For this week's episode, I would like to announce that we have fulfilled a promise to our former Producer Strawberry.

Totoro isn't going anywhere, thank you very much!

Aloha everybody!

We have returned!

On behalf of the staff of The Otaku 5-0 Show, let me take this opportunity to thank all of our fans for keeping in touch with us throughout our long hiatus. We all look forward to giving you MORE of the same lighthearted, stream-of-consciousness rambling that you have grown accustomed to after all these years (4, in fact!)

I would like to extend a personal "Mahalo" (that's "Thank You" in Hawaiian) to Kekumanshoyu, DJ Buma (Lord of the Butishake) and our podcasting colleague Haz-Matt for joining us on this MAMMOTH return episode!
