Episode description

Hey, what's the deal with these Playstation Controller buttons? Well, I'm glad you asked, anonymous stranger! This episode of the Geeks & Gaijins Podcast introduces us to the peculiar history behind Playstation's iconic symbols, the differences between Japanese and American consoles, and why the X button is so gosh-danged confusing. 

Also in this episode, Jon presents a range of news stories from the Japanese entertainment industry, including Golgo, the longest-running manga, Studio Ghibli's new Totoro video, and Japanese period dramas. 

Also, the boys get way to invested in some curiously-named biscuits. Maybe quarantine really is getting to them after all. Or maybe they're just British. Who can be sure?
