It feels in many ways like the entire season was building to this episode, though I’m sure we’ll feel the same way in two weeks. A harrowing show today, and then we enjoy talking about some manga and some books, before Em gets heated about Online and we reflect on the Autumn months (months with Autumn as co-host, not the months of fall).Things Discussed: balancing act of doing stuff, Honey and Clover, currently running and long running manga, X/1999, Wotakoi, How Do We Relationship, Dune, Gundam Seed, some thoughts on the Andor BDS boycott and criticism at large, winding down the Autumn season, picking songs for the podcastNon-Autumn Zone: Hokuto and Kamiya's Pondering Pootan: A Podcast within a Podcast, Pondering ProctorsThe opening theme this season is “Das lila Lied” sung by Ute LemperSee the show schedule here!
