In what is the LAST episode of Build Casters (in its current guise), Ash Beardguy sits down with Ayinde Hall [@YIN_Designs aka @KokujinKreates] of Studio Mahō, to chop it up about Blade Titans, his Mecha Manga series. Ash and Ayinde discuss how Ayinde got into this Weeb Stuff and then do a deep dive and become ensconced in the world and narrative of Blade Titans. They then talk about what led to the formation of Studio Mahō and a bunch of other works that Ayinde has planned. Ayinde is one of the most interesting and insightful guests we've had on the show and this episode is undoubtedly one of our BEST. You'd be crazy to miss it!!!

On the second episode of our two parter, Ash Beardguy, once again chops it up with Mecha Enthusiast and Streamer extraordinaire: Fujimaru Husky. Ash and Fuji have a brief, yet eye opening discussion about Racism and Anti-Blackness within the (Western) Gundam and Mecha Anime Fandoms. Fuji recounts some of the horrible experiences he has had in Fandom over the years and Ash talks about the Gundam Fandom's pretty vile reaction to GundamNerd's GBWC USA 2018 win. Ash also mulls over why Build Casters may not get as much engagement as Gundam podcasts with hosts that aren't POC and asks Fuji about what we can do collectively as a Fandom to magnify the voices of Gundam Content Creators from Marginalised Communities. While this episode may be on the short side, it does not pull any punches! Do not miss it!

Build Casters is now THREE YEARS OLD!!! To celebrate, you are getting TWO EPISODES!!! On part one, Ash Beardguy chops it up with Giant Shooty Robot Enthusiast, Gunpla Builder and Streamer extraordinaire: Fujimaru Husky (aka Fujimaru No Jutsu). Ash asks Fuji about how he became enamoured with Mechanical Giants, why his Grandma helps to fund his Plastic Model Kit Addiction and what builds he has in the pipeline. Ash also somehow finds the time to ponder about just how large the Timbs collection belonging to New York's foremost Gundam Expert, SentaiFive, actually is.
