Gotta say this was one of my favourite of recent episodes. You guys are all in top comedic and debate-ic form in this one, and it’s nice to hear proof that James Oikawa hasn’t dropped off the face of the earth! I really liked the discussion on the Wii in particular. Welcome back, World of Reggie Fils-Aime! *chug* Although, you guys might want to check out this article from Anime News Network regarding the Sailor Moon + Lindsay Lohan thing: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=8750
Oh, and just on a random note, I have a podcast of my own going now called Anime Utahime. All anime music, all the time! It’s at http://animeutahime.blogspot.com. I’m not asking for a plug, just letting you guys know in case you’re interested in hearing the scripted voice of your doting Photoshopper.
And speaking of Photoshops: check the Dai-Cast inbox. ;)
The links for for the AAC (mislinked to #19) and MP3 (broken) downloads are incorrect.
Figured out the correct ones, and thought I’d inform you guys about it.

Alloy, thanks again for checking into those links. The problem has once again fixed; ironic that the issue happened again on the “Professional Radio” episode.
