About the Hosts

Who’s running this show, anyway?

Alli

Alli is a poet and librarian who, unsurprisingly, serves as the researcher of the group. She also maintains the website and helps out with social media marketing. Her favorite ’90s anime is Shoujo Kakumei Utena — which tells you a lot about her if you’ve seen it!

Josie

Josie is a writer, visual artist, and RPG Game Master/spreadsheet enthusiast. She edits audio and produces visual assets for the podcast. Her unironic love of shows like Samurai Pizza Cats is deeply troubling for her friends and family alike.

Cassie

Cassie is a teacher and crafter who is here to contribute her firsthand knowledge of Japanese life and culture. She doesn’t have a favorite anime because she’s one of those people who mainly likes manga.
