Weeb The People - An Anime Podcast

A Podcast About All Things Anime and Japanese Culture. Join Daniel, Malcolm, and Jake every Tuesday evening as they discuss anime and Japanese culture. Daniel is an anime expert, Malcolm knows just enough to be dangerous, and Jake is our uninitiated boi who’s learning along the way. They watch anime shows in 6 episode chunks (now transitioning to story arc chunks) as well as anime movies from time to time. Come for the review and analysis, stay for the Millennial-American humor.

This is essentially our first audiobook recording.
