Leon Bartolome Steele: Podcast #104 (Experimental)
Labor Day, May 1: I was invited by a VTuber by the name of Leon Bartolome Steele to hang out at the Bonifacio Global City, a ride away from one of the Philippines' busiest economic centers. It was a holiday with a twist, as I get to spend a day with a VTuber who is set to return to streaming.
Leon, host of the Leon's Den and an active chatter, joins me on this impromptu, experimental episode*.
Now that he's back to streaming, he's started a donothon to assist with his medical bills. After listening to this episode, consider your participation by donating through his Gank page.

Episode 87: Fandom February / Good VTuber Subs with MaDe-paisen
Our second podcast for the month of March features MaDe-paisen, a.k.a. Matthew Marcelo.
He's been coding for so long that when a comment on a Reddit board pissed him off so much, he had built the Good VTuber Subs bot on Twitter.
This, among his other projects, shows how he is an "otaku for others."

On this special two-hour episode: I spoke to my good friends in Indonesia, Halimun Muhammad (Senior Editor at KAORI Nusantara's The Indonesian Anime Times) and Luthfi Suryanda Atmojo (Podcaster, LUTALK / Collaboration Manager, Ghosty's Comic) to discuss Anime, Manga and Japanese Pop Culture in Indonesia.
I've been talking about Indonesia on the blog before, so this is a great opportunity and a step forward towards more interaction with one of the largest consumers of Japanese pop culture in Southeast Asia.
Timestamps and visuals are available on the video edition over at YouTube.
Episode 84: Virtual YouTuber Conduct
What makes a VTuber seiso - or seison't? How does a VTuber avoid falling into the pit of being not seiso? What makes a VTuber consistent? I tried to answer those questions with Josh of Allineus Productions. (Jan 08, 2021) Josh: https://twitter.com/allineus_c

Happy New Year! Welcome to the new decade.
On this episode, I talked to Sho (Yuminty Fresh) as she spends her last con in the Philippines (perhaps for now). Also on the show, I got hold of the Magtibay brothers and they asked me my reactions on the current anime stories popping up before 2019 ends... and the best clips I gathered for the podcast in 2019.
Episode 61: 2019 Recap
It's been a long year for us at keepsakes., and I've decided to cap off the podcast for 2019 with our 2019 highlights. Looking forward already to more discussions in 2020 - maybe we can start talking to cosplayers on Cosplay Week 2019, I guess?
Episode 60: Cosplay in Zamboanga with Scar Faeder
We're going off-tangent with our usual podcast schedule to bring this recording from our Facebook Live at Dungeon Akiba in Mandaluyong City. I do admit that the sound was bad, but at best you take your sweet time listening to our conversation as we talk about Cosplay in Zamboanga City with our guest Scar Faeder. Our 2019 Recap podcast will be coming this Monday December 16 at 9am.
