Nick and James cover some of the not-so-top 10 shows of the season, as well as reminisce about the origins of the podcast. RIP Gracie. Day jobs are hard.

James and Nick are back from some conventions, but Gracie wants to talk about Oshi no Ko. How dare she remind us of our many promises to cover the show before the season ended. For those wanting Con talk, worry not. We will have an episode on it Content Warning for discussion of self-harm between 41:08 - 46:46.

Gracie is deep in the grip of Vinland Saga and James wants to know what all the fuss is about. Also, two manga services launched at the same time, leading to an inevitable comparison.

(Whoops Sorry y'all I accidently uploaded my solo audio) I really wanted to come up with a more clever reference to Dante's Inferno, but alas. Nick, James, and Gracie talk about Hell's Paradise. Only some of the conversation focuses on the centipedes with human fingers.
