On May 15th, 2008, May-san and Xan sat down at Xan's Laptop (dubbed the deathtop for surviving so many falls and crashes) and decided to record a fun podcast about a subject that they both loved... Manga. Here we are, 15 yrs later, with over 1050 episodes recorded, over 3000 hours spent editing podcasts, over 2 million listeners collectively, over 20 co-hosts later and several other statistics that we did not count on having happened. And it has been totally worth it.
It has been an amazing ride and without you dear listeners and readers, we would never have made it this far. Thank you so much So here's To 15 years of podcasts about manga, movies, conventions, video games and just random chatter.
Now Let's see if We Can Make It To Thirty
