I'm in love with you guys 💝
I've learnt so much from these podcasts. I don't know why, but there will be something from every single one I just remember; even if I forget most of it, I'll always learn something. Thanks guys, great job!
none of these have titles. it is very hard to navigate.
Quite informative, but I just wish they didn't have the goofy music in the background and cut down the extra chat.
I think the word you were looking for is not "otaku" but "hikikomori"
Just started. Very helpful. Sam I find you whisper when you speak in Chinese (or move away from the microphone). Thanks!!
