The State of the Podcast: January 2010 Edition

Greetings, and Happy New Year everyone! The Otaku no Podcast staff and I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

We started off the New Year in true Japanese fashion with a traditional cleaning of the house – or, in our case, the Otaku no Podcast website. The site has needed a […]


Possible trouble with AudioBoo and social media updates

I can’t believe I forgot about this. Turns out that A-LA is taking place at the same time as the ginormous Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Which is heavily attended by geeks. Who tend to use Web 2.0 and social media (such as Twitter, Facebook, and AudioBoo) to their fullest. And when these Web 2.0 sites […]


Artistically challenged podcaster seeking artistic assistance

All right, I’ll admit it. I have absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever. For ample evidence of this, just take a look at my podcast logo. First of all, it’s not even mine – I based it off of two pieces I found online (Creative Commons licensed, don’t worry). Not only that, but it’s not even […]


New Year – New Website

In Japan, one of the traditional activities undertaken by families at the start of the New Year is a thorough cleaning of the home. This is seen as symbolic in the sense that you are sweeping away the junk and detritus of the old year, to start the new year in a fresh and clean […]


Otaku no Podcast will be participating in the Anime Secret Santa project

Remember the Anime Secret Santa project that the folks over at Reverse Thieves cooked up? Well I’ve got good news – Otaku no Podcast will be participating! Look for our Anime Secret Santa review to hit both blog and podcast shortly after Christmas. This should be interesting – and fun!


Here’s an opportunity to review anime – Secret Santa style!

This comes by way of a tweet from the cool guys over at Tokyo Tower WAWL, who pointed us to a post over at the Reverse Thieves blog with a rather cool and unique idea for a group anime review writing project. (Sorry if this doesn’t match up to my usually scintillating level of writing […]


The State of the Podcast: October 2009 Edition

I just wanted to post a quick note to let you know what’s going on re: the lack of updates recently. Unfortunately I’m currently involved in several large projects which are occupying the majority of my waking hours, so I haven’t had much time to prepare a podcast or even do a blog post. I’ll […]


Otaku no Podcast server is back online after an unknown amount of downtime

If you were having trouble downloading the podcast or accessing the website this weekend, I apologize. For an unknown amount of time this weekend, the Otaku no Podcast website was down due to a server crash. (Not a bad one, no data was lost thankfully) Anyway I’ve restarted things and we’re back online now. Thanks […]


FUNimation Announces New “Anime at the Palace” event, where you can watch anime on the big screen!

OK, I know I”ve been promising a new episode for… weeks now. Let’s just say that Fate has been conspiring against me, assaulting me with everything from a massive heatwave to massive computer failure (which caused me to lose an episode I had already recorded more than half of). Arrgh. Anyway I’m re-recording now (and […]


Captchas implemented for new account registration and anonymous comment posting

Unfortunately, Otaku no Podcast has been hit with a rash of spambot attacks. Fortunately the wonderful Akismet plugin has caught most of the spam comments, but the site has been hit with a rash of new account creations that appear to be spammers. In an attempt to prevent future problems, I have implemented captchas – […]
