Episode 144 – The New Year… But The Same Us!

Well, we've made it to 2023. Somehow. In commemoration of this achievement, we're getting back to what we do sort-of best: small town college anime club-styled radio. Admit it, you've missed us, too. And to get back into the swing of things, we have something everyone enjoys: LISTS. And a good number of them, recounting the things that came out in the year prior, from the good and bad to the curiously headscratching. As per usual when we return from an extended break, please pardon our dust - it always takes us a bit of time to find our flow again.
