When challenges were made to Michael's availability for the evening, Steve presented his alternative: "That's fine. I can go find somewhere to drink beer." Long breaks make the show into more of an update on their lifelong relationship with Evangelion, and with developments in the Evangelion franchise. Sometimes just popular anime in general....

Is this 2000? nope it's 2023, the future, and they are doing it to it still. If God in His Heaven rewards tenacity, he hast done smiled on the Cousins Ayres this evening. Gripping the imagination of our arrestedly developed hosts is this unique entry in the Evangelion epiverse, where the rough grip on biology (and p...

To hear your the fresh anxieties that come with a currently unknown circumstance of life? To hear even the voice attempting to reach about and connect over them itself weakened from the erosion of those changes? Then envy our hosts, dear listener, and live for today. Besides grim s...

Notably lucid commentary, complete sentences, and a sophisticated absence of mouth sounds await the listener. To appreciate the environment that produces such excellence, perhaps while considering the poor quality of the previous plugcast, note that for this round our hosts did test that the dedicated mics and mixer were recor...

*** https://twitter.com/NeonPodcastEva1 *** *** https://evangelionpodcast.com *** This qualities of this episode speak for themself. Quite literally - it's quite long and the sound quality has a strong feeling of "didn't put any work into those levels before starting the recording." However, this episode proves an important point: two fans can spend three hours on a mid-series episode of NGE. The facts are loose, the shed is cold, and the snacking is loud! We got what you came for. There is a lo...

*** https://twitter.com/NeonPodcastEva1 *** *** https://evangelionpodcast.com *** Billed right up front as a straight forward and efficient episode, this plugcast eschews any fancy special topics and focuses on arguably the least essential episode of the series. The cause of this being that, nearly miraculously, they decided they should probably record and actually made it happen that day. As Steve puts it, "this is almost a bonus episode!" So, expect solid coverage of the NGE episode, near embr...

Come ready to judge! The release of 3.0 + 1.0 has overshadowed everything in the Evangelion world. After their takes on the gra...

Although this might be hoped to be baseline for hosts covering a very niche topic, here it represents a nice window of opportunity to record during a spike in the general level of knowledge available. Another stroke of good fortune has the Hideaki Annography topic as a sequence from Miyazaki's Nausicaä, Michael's...

"At last, I've been waiting a long time to see this" Michael sighs during the screening, meaning of course the on-screen destruction of the Eiffel Tower since his expectations for the ultimate film of the spin-off(?) franchise are lowwww.

Ten in a year and a half ain't bad. Certainly plenty of time for the new set of anime fans coming up with the loaded anime line-up on Netflix to have passed through a full healthy course of Evangelion fandom and now only occasionally reference the show. Maybe, ultimately, this podcast is for those gripped by the show and never ...

Some self-doubt and impostor syndrome emerges once solid evidence of an actual damn listener with positive feedback is found. Our hosts swell gratitude like Shinji hearin...

For the sake of tying this escapade to some measure of reality, let's just implicate the new decade with a new format for the show, a new level for our technical kit, and let's just hope a new grip on their thus far perennial podcast existential angst.
